My research interests lie at the interface between Physics, Applied Mathematics and Engineering and focus on the understanding of nonlinear dynamics in fluid systems and nonlinear elasticity, with a focus on instabilities and pattern formation. My approach is through a close interplay between careful experimentation and theoretical analysis. In January 2007, we moved into newly refurbished laboratories in the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear Dynamics in the School of Physics and Astronomy (room G.21 in the Schuster Laboratory).

Current research: (under construction...)

1. Thin-film flows and pore-scale dynamics of bubbles and fronts.

2. Fluid-elastic instabilities

3. Dynamics of interfaces excited by horizontal  oscillations

4. Buckling of elastic shells and cusp formation in hyperelastic materials

Reviews of my research:
Work on the use of thermocapillary forces to suppress dripping from a ceiling received widespread attention with reviews in Nature Science Update, Science News  (vol.159, No. 1,p. 7, 2001), Physics Today  (February 2001) or in the AIP Physics News Update.

Experiments on the transition to turbulence in the Reynolds pipe were the focus of an article of Physics
Today, "New Experiments Set the Scale for the Onset of Turbulence in Pipe Flow'' by R. Fitzgerald in the February 2004 issue (Physics Today article on the Manchester Pipe Flow).
