Combustion of mine ventilation air methane using porous burners
I'm working on a project to develop greenhouse gas mitigation technologies for underground coal mines and landfills. At the moment, mine ventilation air containing methane is just released into the air. We're developing an advanced combustion system capable of burning diluted fuels like methane, so that we can make use of a fuel that would otherwise be wasted.
Coupled Seepage and Contaminant Transport Using the Lattice-Boltzmann Method
The project consists of developing Lattice-Boltzmann tools, validating them and using them to improve our understanding of processes of sorption, double-porosity flow, mechanical dispersion and molecular diffusion.. more...

Protein self-assembly in nature and disease
The project aims to understand the self-assembly of proteins into stable, fibrillar beta-sheet structures which underlies many amyloid diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease, as well as many functional processes in microorganisms, such as the development of robust hydrophobic coatings on fungal spore surfaces and the interaction between bacteria and host cell surfaces.. more...
