Designing advanced clean steam generators
There is a huge commercial opportunity for clean steam production systems. The aim of this project is to overcome sever challenges we currently face including: (i) develop understanding of chloride-related corrosion at higher temperatures, (ii) applying numerical modelling techniques to analyse the thermal and mechanical stresses in the steam equipment, (iii) optimise the design numerically and analytically, (iv) test a scaled-prototype to validate the numerical model, (v) validate the model with an industrial-scale clean steam generator available with the industrial partner.
Swarm robotics, studying the fabrics of group behaviours
Haptic Human robot interaction, make a robot communicate with a person using the human's tactile and haptic senses.
Development a device to assist people with degradation in their hearing

Particle and powder flows during industrial processes
The conduct of this project would help to gain deeper physical and theoretical insights into the granular processes involved with segregation, mixing, avalanching, shock surface and rheology etc., hence providing guidance to relevant application problems.
Development of FEA models to predict the performance of lattice structures in additive manufacturing
The aim of this project is to develop and validate new numerical models using Finite Element Analysis (FEA), in order to determine the static and dynamic performance of regular and irregular lattice structures which are used in additive manufacturing and 3D printing.
