Ben is an ERC-funded postdoc investigating soft particles in inertial particle microfluidics. He completed his PhD at the University of Manchester, developing a fluid-structure interaction model using discrete methods and GPU acceleration for cardiovascular applications.
Charles is working on an EPSRC-funded project to model and understand solute and cell transport in the human placenta. In his PhD project at the University of Edinburgh, he simulated blood cell dynamics in vitro and in vivo.
Erich is an ERC-funded postdoc exploring the interaction of suspended particles and flow to understand the migration and interaction of particles in inertial microfluidics. Erich investigated the chaotic behaviour of particles in fluid flow during his PhD.
Krishnaveni is an ERC-funded postdoc working on inertial microfluidic applications, such as particle focusing, separation, and interaction in suspensions. She obtained her PhD from the Indian Institute of Technology in Madras.
Giada is working on the EPSRC EMBOSS project, analysing key heat transfer parameters during boiling in order to optimise heat exchange surfaces. Her other supervisors are Prashant Valluri and Khellil Sefiane (Institute for Multiscale Thermofluids)
Ellie is a Precision Medicine PhD student. She is using fluid dynamics simulations to investigate blood flow in the placenta and relating its geometry to functionality, in its ability to exchange nutrients, oxygen, and waste products between mother and fetus.
