Simulations of Soft Matter & Fluid Dynamics
Group Leader: Prof Halim Kusumaatmaja
Welcome to our group's website. Our group has recently moved to the University of Edinburgh. We are interested in Multiscale Fluid Mechanics, Soft Matter and Biophysics. Our work is interdisciplinary, lying at the interface between Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Chemistry, and Biology. Please see our research summary and publications if you want to learn more about our work.
Open positions at the University of Edinburgh:
We will also recruit two new PhD students for September 2025, but any talented student is encouraged to contact Halim as soon as possible.
