My interests focus on the mathematical modelling of fluid and mass transport phenomena for applications in biomedical research. With collaborators in the Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences, my DPhil project focuses on the design and modelling of novel tissue engineering bioreactors inspired by human vasculature. Utilising asymptotic techniques to understand fluid-structure interaction, we develop a mechanistic understanding of these systems to predict and optimise bioreactor performance.
