My research interests lie in understanding and modelling the flow
of granular materials, in small scale experiments, industrial
processes and geophysical flows.
Current research is aimed at understanding fundamental processes such
as the flow past obstacles, shock waves, dead-zones, fluid-solid phase
transitions, particle size segregation and pattern formation. A novel
and important feature of all my work is the close interplay of theory,
numerical computation and experiment to investigate these
nonlinear systems. I currently have three active experiments which are
housed in two laboratories at the Manchester Centre for Nonlinear
Dynamics. You can click on the adjacent toolbar to find out more
about specific problems that I am interested in.
