The mechanical response of granular material depends both on the material properties (e.g. stiffness, anisotropy, permeability, etc.) and particle geometry (shape, roughness, etc.). This paper presents a study of the effect of particle shape (i.e. as... Read More about The Influence of Particles’ Aspect Ratio on the Shear Behaviour of Granular Materials.

Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting (2016)
Journal Article

Attempts are being made to incorporate copper into clear varnish in order to coat environmental surfaces in hospitals with the long-term goal of reducing healthcare-acquired infections (HAI). The performance of a nanocopper-containing polyacrylic emu... Read More about Disastrous performance of NanoCote/Aqua Based antimicrobial paint in a hospital setting.

A New Ab Initio Approach to the Development of High Temperature Superconducting Materials (2016)
Journal Article
