Congratulations to Prof. Duncan Lockerby (Engineering) and Dr James Sprittles (Mathematics) on receiving Leverhulme Trust funding for the project 'Skating on Thin Nanofilms: How Liquid Drops Impact Solids'. This project will fund a postdoctoral position for 3 years, based in the Mathematics Institute.

James is the Principal Investigator on the project, with Duncan as Co-Investigator. The project will draw together theories from the previously disparate and segregated fields of capillary flows and non-equilibrium gas dynamics in order to open up an entirely new direction of research.

More information can be found on Dr Sprittles blog page, along with demonstrative videos.
