My research interests are in the area of achieving energy efficiency in the Built Environment particularly applying low/zero carbon solutions. Recently, I have been working on developing advance vacuum insulation panels and evaluating their application in buildings components for improving energy efficiency. I also conduct research on the topics of building performance evaluation and energy and economic assessment of energy efficient building retrofit measures.

Dr. Marco Bernagozzi is a Lecturer in Electric Vehicles with a research focus on smart thermal management. He is interested in the design and optimization of heat pipes, in particular loop heat pipes and pulsating heat pipes for efficient thermal management in electric vehicles, space applications and renewable energy systems. His research also involves exploring the potential of liquid air energy storage and molten salts for sustainable energy storage and production. Lately, he has been working on also on Personal Comfort System, aiming at tackling waste energy in HVAC in buildings.

My research activity focuses on the response of structures to random loadings and includes stochastic modelling of earthquake induced vibrations and novel vibration control strategies (such as the ViBa). There are five research strands I currently undertake:

1) Vibration control of existing structures - development of the Vibrating Barrier (ViBa) device 2) Stochastic modelling of earthquake induced ground motion 3) Stochastic analysis of linear and nonlinear behaving structures 4) Structural identification and health monitoring 5) Computational stochastic mechanics Probably my most significant achievement is demonstrated by the research on vibrating barriers. The research has been supported by the EPSRC first grant : 鈥淰ibrating Barriers for the control of seismic waves (ViBa)鈥�. EP/K004867/1, 2013-2014 (PI: P. Cacciola), and has been published in various leading peer-reviewed journal publications (see Research Output below). Notably, this research also resulted in a motion for a European Parliament resolution on the importance of the building sector in relation to seismic activity explicitly mentioning my research achievement : 鈥渨hereas at the Built Environment and Civil Engineering Department of the 绿茶直播, the ViBa vibrating barrier has been invented, an instrument which absorbs the impact of an earthquake by 40-80% and can be inserted into existing buildings without modifying them鈥� (B8-0964/2015).

My research interests include a range of subject areas including experimentation and numerical simulations in sports engineering, development of digital fabrication design tools, processes and machines, and the use of additive manufacturing to support medical device development.

I have worked exclusively in experimental fluid mechanics area ranging from supersonic flow velocities to subsonic flow regimes. I am interested in subjects related to听missile aerodynamics, force prediction from quantitative flow visualization, flow over flapping wing micro air vehicles, flow-structure interactions, streamlined and bluff bodies in oscillation, wind turbine aerodynamics and flow over delta wings.

I am a Technical听Team Member for NATO-AVT Panel Business Meetings since 2013 and recently in our task group we are studying large-amplitude gust mitigation strategies.

My current research interests are flapping wing aerodynamics with main focus on experimental realization of energy harvesting using flapping foils. In addition to fundamental research and development of flapping wing micro air vehicles, my former Master鈥檚 student and I have experimentally demonstrated that flapping foils can actually be used to harvest energy from surrounding flows. With our international collaborators, I am performing tests to design and develop a small scale renewable and sustainable oscillating-wing energy听generator with anticipation to materialize an industrial product.听

(3) Micro-Power Volumetric Machines as Energy Recovery Expanders in Two-Phase Conditions - by Ian Kemp

My reserach interests and expertise focuses mainly in three different fields:

• Thermal Physics applied to constructions and building components, to determine stationary and transient thermal properties and energy performances;
• 听Transient energy balance applied to buildings to evaluate energy performances and indoor comfort, Dynamic energy simulations and their application in support of the design process;
• Testing and validation of building components and equipment (both in lab and in operation) to determine thermal properties and energy performances.

From the start of my Ph.D. until now, I was also able to engage with various industry partners, public sector, stakeholders, and architectural and construction companies to deliver professional consultancies, both autonomously or in cooperation with other professionals, in various fields related to energy efficiency in the building sector ranging from, the writing of SEAPs (Sustainable Energy Action Plans), the numerical modelling of a test chamber for virtual tests on radiators and various applications of Building Dynamic Energy and Performance Simulation for design validation and optimization or financial feasibility analysis of building renovations. This gave me professional experience and helped me in working toward applied research.听

Some of the most recent and ongoing projects I鈥檝e been involved in:

• Leading research in the development of a simplified building performance simulation tools to support the integrated design process of new highly efficient buildings
• Currently collaborating with an Italian research group and a PhD student on the integration of building energy simulation with BIM to improve building design and management;
• Currently lead-supervisor of a PhD student in Brighton (Robin Talbot) under the SEAHA CDT on 鈥淩etrofitting space heating systems for historic churches: meeting the needs of community, conservation and environmental sustainability鈥�;
• Currently co-supervisor of a PhD student at University of Pisa (Italy) on the design of personal comfort systems and their potential impact on building energy consumption;
• Currently expanding previous research delivered during my PhD studies on simplified building energy modelling for building design, developing it into a fully-fledged web-based screening tool to support building design, both for educational and commercial purposes (https://www.freds4buildings.com/);
• Other ongoing collaborations including co-supervising various student projects in collaboration with other academics and external partners (e.g. analysing and understanding the performances of the ATES system in Cockcroft building; designing a solar canopy for renewable energy generation) and taking part to activities with external partners that may help generate impact (e.g. part of the Greater Brighton Energy Plan steering group).

My research interests focus on experimental research in heat transfer and waste heat recovery. My previous research has investigated the miniaturisation of heat exchangers for developing technologies, ranging from clean energy to computer systems. My current work is looking at a possible method for storing green energy, a requirement for the large scale implementation of green energy supplies. I am also interested in technology which can be readily applied to current systems for the recovery of waste heat. 听

My research focuses on quantifying deterioration in structures, and how this impacts on their performance. I develop models for the deterioration processes and incorporate the uncertainties associated with their future occurrences through stochastic modelling. Both laboratory experiments, as well as analytical/numerical modelling are used for this purpose. This leads to the prediction of remaining service life of deteriorating structural systems. 听

My research also spans the structural health monitoring methods and its use for the maintenance management of infrastructure assets. The data obtained from the structural health monitoring systems helps to reduce uncertainty in the prediction of structural performance and improve the confidence in the prediction of service life of structures. This assists in development of decision making systems pertinent to the maintenance management of civil assets.

My main research interest is to develop efficient modelling approaches for sprays. To achieve this, I combine engineering with applied mathematics and advanced computing techniques. My expertise includes fluid flow, multiphase flows, heat and mass transfer.

Since joining the 绿茶直播 in 2013, my research has been focussed on modelling of droplet dynamics, droplet heating and evaporation. Other subjects I am interested in and have contributed to are related to multiphase physics: focusing of particles in subsonic and supersonic flows, flows with shock waves; the effect of droplets on heat transfer in supersonic boundary layers; geomechanical effects in oil reservoirs. In my research, I extensively use and develop new tools based on applied mathematics, Computer-Aided Engineering and programming.

I work with surface active molecules in the form of simple and complex foams and thin liquid films (foam lamellae). These structures relate to the quasi-2D-architectures created for a range of purposes; as means of sensing, synthesis and in their own right, to study processes such as statistical mechanics and energetics. As a nanotechnologist I also work in the field of miniaturised analytical systems 鈥� microfluidics, microarrays, sensors, diagnostic systems, and biosensors. I work in the context of product and process design and investigations associated with engineering and manufacturing process modelling. I work with the mechanics and rheology of a range of materials.听

My research interest are in mathematical and numerical modeling of multi-phase flows. My research career started at Kazan Federal University, where I focusing on the mathematical and numerical modelling of gas-particle flows in porous structures between 2008 and 2015. During this period I developed high-performance numerical codes for Lagrangian particle tracking, using CUDA technology for parallel computing on graphics cards. As a result, performance of the calculations increased for up to 70 times comparing to single-threaded CPU version of the code.As a Research Fellow at Advanced Engineering Centre at 绿茶直播 I developed a new method for calculating droplet number densities in gasoline engines and applied it to the analysis of experimental observations of sprays produced by high-pressure outwardly opening pintle injector.
