Prospective Students

I'm always interested to talk with potential students regarding honours and post graduate projects in applied mathematics for nanotechnology related problems. Potential project ideas include:

  • Dissipation of kinetic energy in gigahertz nano-oscillators
  • Electron transport in small diameter, highly curved carbon nanotubes
  • Geometric model of helical carbon nanostructures
  • Mathematical models for magnetorheological nanodevices incorporating nano-electromagnets
  • Encapsulation of DNA in carbon nanotubes
  • Expulsion models for biomolecules in carbon nanotubes
  • Fluid mechanical study of lab-on-a-chip technologies
  • Mathematical models of nanosyringes and other nanoscaled drug delivery systems
  • Nanoparticle interactions with biological systems
