Imperial College London (ICL) is developing next generation of modelling tools that can handle fast & small-scale phenomena which with UCL we experimentally challenged them with, as well as large-scale & slow ones done by Nottingham.
Outcomes, vision and ambition of the research on transient, multiphase systems can be found here:

- PostDoc @ University of Birmingham, 2012 - 2013
I was a part of a world’s largest collaborative project for the research and development of nanofluid coolants. This EU project comprised of 12 leading European companies (e.g. Siemens) and research centres (e.g. KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) to develop cooling system for a range of industrial applications: NANOHEX (www.nanohex.org)

Research Expertise
Research Interests
Experimental interface physics, where dynamic hydrodynamics meets surface chemistry & reactions (aided by theory & computation).
Current research projects include:
- Encapsulation of aqueous phase inside aqueous phase using Marangoni flow & polymerisation [Marsden funded]
- Innovative multidimensional manufacturing and intelligent fluid management: chemotaxis & phototaxis [SfTI funded]
- Interfacial phenomena in the gastrointestinal track [HVN]
- & all other amazing things that nature does [curiosity driven]
