His research interests are in mathematical modelling of materials and processes, and 3D materials science, with a special emphasis on solidification and casting of engineering metals. The main focus of the research is to model solidification across multiple length scales in order to investigate the relationships between heat transfer and fluid flow at the macro-scale with microstructure and defects. In the area of 3D materials science, the research has focused on 3D characterization and simulation of cellulose-based products using X-ray tomography, in addition to 3D observation of solidification morphology and defects.
