Research Fellows

The OCCAM Research Fellows are exceptionally talented researchers, who have already shown excellence in at least one postdoctoral position. These Fellows have a broad remit to conduct and lead research in any area appropriate to the programme areas of OCCAM. Between them they cover the four interdiscplinary research areas.

Morphoelastic rods: the growth and mechanics of biological filaments [BB13]. Thomas was awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship in October 2012.

 

Dr Tim Reis 

OCCAM Junior Research Fellow

reis [-at-] maths [dot] ox [dot] ac [dot] uk

+44 (0) 1865 615142

Researching lattice Boltzmann methods for complex fluids and multiphase flow, previously worked on the lattice Boltzmann methods for multiphase flow in porous media with applications to CO2 sequestration project [REE1].

 

Dr James Sprittles

OCCAM Junior Research Fellow

sprittles [-at-] maths [dot] ox [dot] ac [dot] uk

+44 (0) 1865 615135

Researching microfluidic capillary flows: modelling & simulation. His research is concerned with liquids that are influenced by dynamic interfacial effects, i.e. by the physics occurring at their (often free) boundaries, which are ubiquitous throughout industry and nature.
