My primary interest lies in the development of rigorous and robust computational modelling tools for the alternative protein space. With building blocks such as mathematical modelling, analysis and simulation, all with multi-physics capabilities (fluid mechanics, advection-diffusion process, heterogeneous systems combining continuum systems and agent-based systems), the developed – typically open-source – implementations are intended to be fully transparent and suitable for specialisation towards particular systems of interest. Past work has benefited from support from the Good Food Institute (Exploratory Research Grant entitled “Computational Modeling of Fluid Dynamics and Transport Processes in Wave Bioreactors via Open-Source CFD Software”, 2021-2022) and the Cultivated Meat Modelling Consortium (collaborative project on scale-down effects, 2021-2023), as part of vibrant US-UK partnerships that are currently expanding.
