Ian Griffiths

I am a Professor of Industrial Mathematics in the Mathematical Institute at the University of Oxford. I am a Professorial Fellow in Industrial Mathematics and the Janet Dyson Fellow at Mansfield College. I have a collaborative network with Howard Stone and the Complex Fluids Group at Princeton, and the Laboratory of Fields, Flows, and Interfaces at Toronto Metropolitan University. Prior to my current position I was a Royal Society University Research Fellow. (Photograph credit: John Cairns.)

Matthew Shirley

is a postdoctoral researcher studying the performance of a new face mask filter that has been designed and manufactured by Virustatic. The filter wraps around the face to offer superior filtration performance. Matthew is co-supervised by Chris Breward

Abel Valverde

is a postdoctoral researcher studying the behaviour of bed filters, in collaboration with Tim Myers and experimentalists at the University of Girona.

Arkady Wey

is a postdoctoral researcher working on an Impact Acceleration Account project to convert the work of his thesis on filtration into code that may be used by industrialists. This project is in collaboration with W.L. Gore and Associates. Prior to this, Arkady worked on developing size-structured models and network homogenization models for filtration, in collaboration with W.L. Gore and Associates. Arkady won the 2023 STEM for Britain Gold Award for this work. You can listen to him speaking out this work here.

Daniel Booth

is a DPhil student working in collaboration with the Laboratory of Fields, Flows, and Interfaces (LoFFI), Toronto Metropolitan University and the Stone Group, Princeton to derive mathematical models for bubbles in Hele-Shaw flows. The work is motivated by a new method for creating nanobubbles for medical applications. He is co-supervised by Peter Howell.

Grace Curtis

is a first year DPhil student currently exploring fluid-solid interactions. Grace is co-supervised by Dominic Vella.

Torin Fastnedge

is a DPhil student working on modelling microplastics and microfibre filters in washing machines. This project is in collaboration with Beko. Torin is co-supervised by Chris Breward.

Nicholas Ryan

is a DPhil student working on modelling the manufacture of glass sheets. He is co-supervised by Chris Breward and Peter Howell.
