Summary
At Imperial I am currently working on the Newton-funded "Smart GeoWells" project, focusing on the numerical prediction of optimal drilling strategies for extracting geo-thermal energy.
Prior to this I worked on the "Fast Reactor Physics Modelling" project funded by HMS Sultan. The project investigated the application of reduced order modelling to problems in reactor physics.
My research interests span several areas including:
(1) reduced order modelling;
(2) calculating error bounds for parameters derived from computational homogenisation;
(3) investigating summation rules for the quasi-continuum method;
(4) error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement;
(5) meshless methods in geomechanics.
