Do you want to work on the cutting-edge intersection of mechanical engineering, physics and biotechnology? Could you formulate ideas to answer our research questions: is it possible to design a machine which can accurately evaluate the surgical performance of intraocular forceps?

Do you have what it takes to do a PhD? Do you want to work on the cutting-edge intersection of mechanical engineering, physics and biotechnology? Could you formulate ideas to answer our research question:

[Richard Whalley @NUfluidslab]

Is it possible to develop a series of micro-electro-mechanical-systems (MEMS) sensors to measure the instantaneous traction force exerted on the retina during eye surgery? If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you!

Well done to Tao Liu and Joe Barrow for presenting their work on MEMS sensors and wall-turbulence at the ETC in Valencia @usairforce @EPSRC

[Richard Whalley @NUfluidslab]

We won an award!

For our newly released AI-framework NUBO, which was developed as part of the EPSRC funded EnAble project for aerodynamic flow control - in collaboration with @incompact3D.
