Hysteresis of two-phase flows in porous and fractured media: From micro-scale Haines jumps to macro-scale pressure-saturation curves

Fluid displacement plays a key role in a wide range of applications, including agriculture and hydrology, biology, energy and environmental engineering, and industrial processes such as printing and curing of cement and foods.


COSPAR: A probabilistic approach to planetary protection

This project offers an opportunity to update the international COSPAR Policy on Planetary Protection and will develop international leadership in planetary protection.


Modelling turbulence induced by hydrodynamic instability in differentially-rotating flow

Rotating flow is also important in industrial processes to produce homogenised products by efficient turbulent mixing. Rotation profiles of fluid flow are often differential, i.e. the angular speed varies with radius from the rotation axis.


Non-equilibrium behaviour in interacting quantum matter

A fully funded PhD studentship within the EPSRC-funded Aqua Nova project investigating emergent collective behaviour in driven, dissipative quantum many-body systems and its relation to concepts from classical active and nonequilibrium matter.

Inside/Out: using storytelling to understand the politics of exclusion in Europe and South Africa

The UK and South Africa, while different, share trends towards inequality and the othering of migrants as responsible for social problems. This project uses storytelling to generate new bottom-up narratives to challenge dominant top down discursive politics of exclusion.


Agroecological practices as territorial development: an analytical schema from Brazilian agroforestry case studies

Agroecological practices have been widely promoted as an alternative to the hegemonic agri-food system, yet they also can help to ‘green’ the system.


Using network ecology to understand and secure resilient agroecosystems

Through the adoption of methods from statistical physics the analysis of multilayer social and ecological networks is possible, giving insights into the robustness and resilience of multiple, interconnected networks.


Cyber Security in Aluminium Workshop
