His interest in engineering applications in healthcare led him to join UCL in 2021 to study for his PhD in a joint project between the departments of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering. His research focuses on utrasound induced flows and transport phenomena in confined dentine models and is linked to the EPSRC grant SONATA.
Ultrasound induced flows and transport phenomena in confined dentine models
Description:
The aim of the project is to provide a physics -based approach to the design of such targeted drug delivery systems by characterising the flows generated by ultrasound in fluidic systems mimicking dentine tubules or root canals in the presence and absence of biofilm. It will combine microfluidics and laser- based diagnostic techniques to quantify the velocity field in the ultrasound generated flows in various geometries, and their impact on drug release and biofilm disruption. This knowledge will then help to optimise the drug delivery platform.
