Hydrodynamic instabilities
This project will focus on the mathematical modelling of fluid flow, with a focus on how the application of linearisation and solution of linear partial differential equations can be used to predict the stability or instability of base flows. In order to explore this topic we will focus on one or more examples of hydrodynamic instabilities, for example, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, which can be observed on scales ranging from the every-day, to cloud formations, to atmospheric structures on gas giants …

Mathematical and computational models for diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI)
In 1985, the first image of water diffusion in the living human brain came to life. Since then significant developments have been made and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) has become a pillar of modern neuroimaging.Over the last decade, combining computational modelling and diffusion MRI has enabled researchers to link millimetre scale diffusion MRI measures with microscale tissue properties, to infer microstructure information, such as diffusion anisotropy in white matter, axon diameters, axon density, intra/extra-cellular volume fractions, and fibre orientation …
