Bioconvection; Biological Fluid Dynamics; Mathematical Ecology; Pattern formation. Martin Bees

I have several projects available.  PhD students can choose to get involved in experiemental work in my wet laboratory.

Project 1) Hydrodynamic interactions of swimming micro-organisms: from individuals to suspensions

Project 2) Biodiesel from algae

Project 3) Porous media, micro-organisms and gas exchange

Project 4) Morphological characterization of spatial patterns in bioconvection using integral geometry

Project 5) Biological control of agricultural pests

Project 6) Chemically induced hydrodynamic instabilities

Project 7) Mathematical physiology

Project 8) The ecology of plankton patchiness and the impact of turbulence

For further ideas and projects please see visit my hompage, or send an email.

Combat Modelling. Niall MacKay

A range of topics could be pursued, including dynamical-systems, stochastic and network models, of historical and contemporary (typically insurgent) conflict, and studies of the interplay between mathematical modelling and doctrine and organizational culture. MacKay has worked on mixed-force Lanchester models, dynamical models of insurgency, analysis of air combat data from the Battle of Britain, the US-Japanese Pacific air war and Korea, airpower theory and the development of RAF fighter doctrine, and naval war, both in the 'big gun' era and for the guided-missile age.

Theoretical Fluid Dynamics.  Vladimir Vladimirov
