Dominic Vella: Collaborators

Current Group

I work with a number of people in Oxford, as well as with groups around the world. As such, I do not have a 'group' in the US sense. Nevertheless, there are a number of people in Oxford who are primarily supervised by me (or, are paid by grants for which I am the PI). These are listed below.

		Tom Chandler is a fourth-year DPhil student working on the mechanics of thin materials.
		Zhaohe Dai is a Marie Curie Fellow working on liquids confined by solid sheets.
		Lucie Domino is a Post-Doc working on elastic instabilities, particularly wrinkling.

Long-Term Visitors

Mingchao Liu is a Newton International Visiting Fellow, supported by the Royal Society. Mingchao is working on aspects of elastic snap-through instabilities.
