Dr Neil Goulding wins the Vernon Harrison Prize for the Best Thesis In Rheology
25/10/2012
Dr Neil Goulding has been awarded the Vernon Harrison Annual Doctoral Prize of the British Society of Rheology for 2012. Neil completed his doctoral thesis on 'Wavelet regularization and the continuous relaxation spectrum', under the supervision of Professor Russell Davies in November 2011. His research involved the development of natural models for the continuous relaxation spectrum using wavelet analysis. The relaxation spectrum of a material provides insight into the relaxation mechanisms of the material and contains information about its molecular structure.
Bridging the Gaps for Aerospace Research
25/10/2012
Dr Chris Davies, along with colleagues from Cardiff in the Schools of Engineering, Computer Science and Infomatics, Psychology and the Business School, has obtained an EPSRC-funded grant for £47,000 to explore possible collaborations that would promote the development of interdisciplinary research in the Aerospace field.
25/10/2012
Dr Chris Davies has obtained a grant of £32,000 (from Airbus/EADS) to conduct further research related to so-called 'waggle wings', which could be used to reduce skin-friction drag for aircraft.
More details of the EPSRC-funded research project, from which the current work has developed, can be found at: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/newsevents/news/2009/Pages/aircraftemissions.aspx . The project also involves researchers from the School of Engineering, University of Warwick, the Department of Aeronautical Engineering at Imperial College and staff from Airbus/EADS.Laminar Flow Control Research (for Aircraft)
25/10/2012
Dr Chris Davies is participating as an affiliated researcher and visitor in the research programme LFC-UK: Development of Underpinning Technology for Laminar Flow Control. The research is coordinated by Imperial College with a budget of £4.2M and is jointly funded by EPSRC, Airbus and EADS-IW. Further details can be found at: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/lfc-uk
