Aims
The main rationale behind our research is to manufacture "digitally tailored materials" with:
understanding how modelling (multiphysics + machine learning) approaches can improve manufacturing processes;
developing new materials with engineered structure and composition across multiple length scales to enable unique functionality.
We also run some computationally related projects that span out of our main research streams focused on applied CFD and complex flow in porous media.
