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.

Mar 5, 2026 We are looking for an experimental post-doc researcher to work on polyelectrolyte gels. See the join us page for more info.
Feb 2, 2026 We welcome Beth Stokes to the group. Beth will work on mathematical modelling of formulated products
Nov 7, 2025 We are looking to recruit an innovation research associate to work on mathematical modelling of formulated products. See the join us page for more information.
Oct 5, 2025 We welcome Yansheng Deng to the group. Yansheng will study the conformation of polyelectrolytes using numerical simulations.
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.
