Turning first-principle maths into lighter wings, quieter pumps and Low-Carbon Power plants.
We employ advanced theoretical and analytical techniques to model and solve fluid and thermal engineering challenges. Our work spans continuum mechanics, thermodynamics, and transport phenomena, providing fundamental insights into energy systems, industrial processes, and biomedical applications. By applying rigorous mathematical approaches, we develop predictive models that guide experimental studies and engineering designs.

Coarse-graining – from discrete particles to continuum fields
Coarse-graining is a powerful approach to extract practical, large-scale models of real-world processes from small-scale simulations. Developed at the University of Twente, this method transforms raw data from thousands or millions of moving particles into smooth, meaningful information—like stress, flow speed, or concentration—that engineers and scientists can actually use. It’s a powerful tool that turns complex granular behaviour into actionable insights, helping us design better industrial processes, optimise materials, and understand natural phenomena. This approach has been applied to many processes in energy, pharmaceuticals, and construction.
