I co-authored one of the leading research monographs in my field - Computational Rheology - which was published by Imperial College Press in 2002. I have published over 100 papers in leading international journals and over 30 papers in peer-reviewed conference proceedings. I have held visiting professorships at the University of Delaware (Chemical Engineering) and the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Mechanical Engineering).

I was appointed to a Professorial Fellowship at Cardiff University in 2004.

DPhil – Mathematics, University of Oxford, 1983.Īfter graduating from the University of Oxford, I was appointed to a research fellowship at ICASE (NASA Langley, USA), prior to taking up an academic position at Aberystwyth in 1984.

MSc – Mathematics (mathematical modelling and numerical analysis), University of Oxford, 1980.

BA – Mathematics, University of Oxford, 1979.

Applied and Computational Mathematics Research Group.

I have a particular interest in spectral element methods and the lattice Boltzmann method. I also work on the immersed boundary method for fluid-structure interaction problems, biomedical applications of bubble dynamics, modelling of groundwater flow using stochastic finite elements, proper generalized decomposition for elliptic systems and a range of numerical techniques for solving the Fokker-Planck equation. This has required an understanding of thermodynamics of complex systems. My most recent work has been concerned with the development of mathematical models for compressible viscoelastic fluids.

I am currently participating in the UK Consortium on Mesoscale Engineering Sciences (UKCOMES) funded by EPSRC. This award allowed me to develop mathematical modelling and numerical simulation tools for applications including lubrication and cavitation bubble dynamics. My most recent substantial EPSRC grant was a Portfolio Partnership Award in the area of Complex Fluids and Complex Flows in collaboration with the School of Engineering at Swansea. My research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council since 1985 and I have also received funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society, EU and Industry. My research interests are in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics and involves the mathematical modelling of complex fluids and the development of computational techniques for predicting complex flows.
