Complex and Functional Materials Lab
School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology, University of Bristol, United Kingdom
We use applied mathematics, experiments, and computational methods to describe the behaviours of fluids and solids. The aim of our research is to guide the development of new functional materials that can be used in modern applications.

Sep 8, 2025 Our paper on modelling fibre-reinforced hydrogels has been accepted for publication in JMPS. In this paper, we reveal the critical role that slack in the fibre network plays in controlling the response of these materials.
Aug 1, 2025 We welcome Peter Lewin-Jones to the group! Peter will work on multi-scale modelling of polyelectrolyte gels.
Jul 21, 2025 Simon’s paper on modelling the behaviour of a poroelastic particle in a Stokes flow has just been accepted in PRF!
May 18, 2025 We welcome Jake Bowhay to the group!
Apr 15, 2025 We are now recruiting a post-doc to work on modelling polyelectrolyte gels. Please see the join us page for details
