PhD Studentship at the University of Birmingham , School of Mathematics, on predictive modelling and control of low-cost droplets for micro-engineering . This project sits at the intersection of fluid mechanics , mathematical modelling , computational fluid dynamics , and active matter . The research focuses on chemically active droplets (micro-swimmers) that move through fluid environments by converting chemical energy into motion. The aim is to build computational and first-principles-based mo...
