Research Interests

Description Of Research Interests

My research is on experimental soft condensed matter physics which deals with materials that exhibit both liquid and solid-like behaviour with a particular focus on the relationship between microstructure and viscoelastic flow properties. Predicting and tuning these properties is crucial in many industries such as additive manufacturing and pharmaceutics. Furthermore I study fluid dynamic problems that involve bubbles and droplets such as bubble formation during electrolysis. Currently we are investigating the flow of nanosheet (e.g. graphene) suspensions in microchannels and droplet impacts in the context of printed electronics. I have made significant contributions in understanding the flow phenomena of a wide range of materials - from granular media to nanoparticle gels. This has led to high impact publications in Nature, Science and Physical Review Letters. 9 of my publications have been cited more than 100 times. I discovered a new mechanism for granular size separation that is relevant for powder mixing in pharmaceutics and more recently elucidated the physical origin of the elastic response of nanosheet gels which is crucial for predicting and tuning the flow properties in printed electronics applications. I have also made key contributions to highly cited papers of my colleagues such as the shear exfoliation of nanosheets which enables the mass production of these particles. In our lab we use rheometry, tensiometry, high speed imaging and optical coherence tomography to study the properties and dynamics of the complex fluids. These combined capabilities are unique in Ireland and led to many fruitful local collaborations with colleagues from physics (Hutzler, Coleman, Coey), chemistry (Gunnlaugsson, Nicolosi, Boland), bioengineering (Kelly) and medicine (Cloonan) as well as international ones in Europe and the USA. I have also engaged with industry and was an official academic partner with an Irish SME (LIOS) in the commercialisation of acoustic metamaterials in the successfully funded H2020 SME instrument project TANDEM. I have attracted >1.3million euro in funding since I became a lecturer in 2009. My research program has been awarded the highest A-Rating by the European Research Council (CoG 2018) and I was on the reserve list of the IRC Laureate fund which demonstrates the quality and international recognition of my research program.
