• Laser-Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) nano-printing process: multiscale modelling, experimental validation and optimization
  Despite the extensive and expensive experiments carried out by researchers around the world, fundamental understanding of the phenomena involved in LIFT is lacking.  This is attributed to the limited spatial and temporal resolutions in experiments and to the fact that many quantities/properties are not directly measurable especially at nanoscales.  Crucially, the causal relationships among the various parameters are difficult to establish without an exhaustive number of expensive experiments.  Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop theoretical and/or numerical models to capture the essential physics in LIFT so that trends can be predicted more easily and LIFT design more grounded on fundamental physics.  Success here will revolutionise key industries that have photonics, plasmonics and microelectronics as their cornerstone.

• The influence of surfactants on the mechanisms of ocean bubble formation
  It is known that bubbles are important for the fluxes of gas and particles across the air-sea interface, as well as for the acoustical properties of the upper ocean and on ocean optics.   Currently, very little is known about the effect of natural surfactants on ocean bubble production, and the consequences of these surfactants for gas and particle fluxes.  The aim of this project is to understand the effects of surfactants on the detailed physics of bubble formation, and then to make measurements at sea to compare with the predicted physical changes.   The lab experiment is a tank built to watch bubbles fragment in turbulence.   The water properties (temperature, salinity, surfactant content and particulate content) can be varied to study bubble formation in different environment.   Acoustical and photographic data are used to follow many fragmentation events (usually 500-1000 for each set of conditions), and overall result is a set of fragmentation statistics.   This includes the frequency of fragmentation events, the number and size of bubbles produced in each event and some information about the dynamics of the events.   Comparing these will allow predictions for how bubble production under breaking waves will be affected by differing conditions, and this will lead to predictions for how gas and particle fluxes will also change.

  As Electric Vehicle (EV) technologies begin to reshape the automotive industry the question of how this will affect the already over-burdened energy distribution network is becoming ever more important. Vehicle To Grid (V2G) Technologies aim to lessen this burden by allowing vehicles equipped with high capacity bi-directional charging systems to facilitate ancillary services such as frequency regulation and load balancing through the use of their on board energy storage units (Batteries) as shown in Image 1.
