ARC DECRA Fellow 2016 - 2018 :

Biofilms in two-dimensional turbulent flows: effects on Lagrangian transport 

I am a curiosity-driven experimentalist interested in geomaterials physics, soft matter, structured materials and fluid hydrodynamics. I am interested in fundamental questions in out-of-equilibrium physics (fragmentation of solid materials, autonomous devices powered by chaotic flows, hydrodynamic waves, stochastics thermodynamics, granular matter, polymer rheology). I am equally interested in a variety of applied questions in geomechanics and hydrology (comminution of geomaterials, mechanics and fluid transport in fractured rocks characterised via X-ray tomography) and in applied fluid mechanics (fluid-structure interaction, wave-energy conversion, environmental fluid mechanics).
