Research interests
Research interests involve utilizing acoustics to produce practical solutions to complex problems. Work is primarily in bubble acoustics using bubble theory to model fish schools and utilizing ultrasonically activated bubbles to clean filters in waste treatment reactors. Also interested in sustainable energy, hearing-loss prevention, and turbulence.
Research projects: Clearing biofouling in anaerobic membrane bioreactors using ultrasonically activated bubbles. (Project with Tim Leighton, Sonia Heaven, and Charles Banks)
This project aims to increase the efficiency of energy harvesting from wastewater treatment bioreactors by removing membrane fouling using ultrasonically activated bubbles. Using activated bubbles is believed to be less energy intensive than traditional gas sparging and should allow the membranes to remain clear, providing better waste treatment and methane production

Research project(s)
The StarStream device cleans using only room temperature water, ultrasound and air. This CASE award studentship, funded by EPSRC and Ultrawave Ltd., examines method of improving the StarStream by looking at the engineering associated with the water supply components of the device. This entails the design and construction of new bubble diagnostics technology.
