Supervisors: Dr. Ravindra Desai (Physics), Dr Dimitri Veras (Physics)Summary:Extreme Space Weather is driven by large-scale eruptions from the Sun called coronal mass ejections. Upon arrival at the Earth, these produce amazing auroral displays but also endanger satellites and disrupt communication signals. Accurately modelling magnetosphere-atmosphere energy...

Supervisors: Dr. Ferran Brosa Planella, Dr. Radu Cimpeanu, Prof. Louis PiperSummary:Manufacturing not only has a significant impact on battery performance and lifetime, but also on cost and environmental impact. A key process (yet not a well-studied one) is the so-called filling, in which a liquid electrolyte is incorporated into the battery, occupying the...

Fluids moving through materials like sandstone can dissolve or precipitate solids as they travel, with an ease that depends on the size and connectivity of its pores. In natural porous materials, like sandstone, salts and other minerals can react to clog or dissolve pores. This process of "reactive transport" is controlled by the feedback between fluid flow...
