Applications are invited from highly motivated researchers to work as part of a research team, working on the project ‘Next generation spray simulation model (NGSSM)’. This project is supported by the UK Research & Innovation’s flagship Future Leaders Fellowship scheme… Continue Reading →
Researchers from the AEC that carried out experiments on the recent European Space Agency parabolic flight campaign followed this up with an interview on BBC Radio Sussex about the experience. Brighton project lead Dr Nicolas Miche and MEng student Erin… Continue Reading →
The Advanced Engineering Centre recently organised a research day for postgraduate research students to present their work. This provided the opportunity for students to showcase their work to the wider centre membership, and gather feedback. The research presented spanned the… Continue Reading →
Researchers from the University of Brighton spent last week suspended in space-like conditions as they put two experiments through their paces during weightless parabolic flights. The two projects tested, GELL-P and DEPLOY!, both have potential applications for space exploration and… Continue Reading →
Recent work carried out as part of the Advanced MUltiscale stochastic Simulations of phase transition (AMUSe) project has recently been published in Nature Communications. This work reveals a nanoscale view of the origin of boiling and its dynamics through the… Continue Reading →
