My Research

I am looking for a PhD student or Master student.

Potential research will be on numerical computation for the density of granular flow in converging channel / granular indentation.

Skill: MATLAB

Monthly allowance: RM800 to 1000/ month

I am an applied mathematician whose research interest is based on the mechanics of granular materials, in particular in developing constitutive equations governing the deformation and flow of such materials (for example sand, clay, grain, cereals, and rice).

The constitutive equations together with various balance laws furnish mathematical models comprising systems of first (or sometimes second) order partial differential equations. In some models, there are additional algebraic inequalities. The complexity of the models makes it very difficult to obtain analytic solutions. So, having constructed the equations I now wish to begin to solve them numerically!

The other focus of my research is Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) with particular interests in geometric modelling, curves, surface and shape understanding using the subdivision method. The applications are numerous, from animated cartoon character creation to virtual restoration, to industrial design.
