Gordon R. McNicol

I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Waterloo, working with Professor Anita Layton (Department of Applied Mathematics) and Professor Nandita Basu (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering).

Previously, I was a Lord Kelvin Adam Smith PhD student at the University of Glasgow (where I also completed my MSci degree) co-supervised by Professor Peter Stewart (School of Mathematics and Statistics) and Professor Matthew Dalby (School of Molecular Biosciences). 

I have a broad range of research interests across mathematical modelling, though they generally lie at the intersection of fluid and solid mechanics with mathematical biology and environmental sciences. I am particularly interested in fluid-structure interaction in biological flows, mechanotransduction (the process by which cells convert mechanical stimuli into a biochemical response) and in modelling the emissions and impact of greenhouse gases from natural landscapes.
