Harold Berjamin is a postdoctoral researcher in applied mathematics, funded by Research Ireland. Harold is working on wrinkle formation in metals. In previous work, Harold studied the nonlinear dynamic behavior of solids (theoretical and numerical aspects). This research has various applications in engineering, e.g. in geophysics, biomechanics, nondestructive testing and materials science.

Attiq Iqbal is a PhD student developing mathematical models of chemical transport in porous media where the porous microstructure evolves in time. His work involves partial differential equations, perturbation methods, chemistry, and numerical methods. Attiq is co-supervised by myself, Kevin Moroney and Michael Vynnycky.
Among other things, Attiq is passionate about teaching mathematics and regularly develops teaching materials for undergraduates on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@ATTIQIQBAL).

Goodness Udochukwu, Okoh is a PhD student funded by the Faculty of Science and Engineering at UL and co-supervised by Michael Vynnycky and Kyriakos Kourousis. Goodness is interested in using mathematics and experiments to describe and study materials' microstructure evolution and connection to mechanical behaviour under thermal and/or mechanical loads. The focus of his PhD work is on the elastoplasticity of additively-manufactured metals.

Joshua Durrant is a PhD student funded by Science Foundation Ireland. Josh is an applied mathematician interested in fluid mechanics, especially models for thin sheets of viscous fluid with industrial applications. Josh is particularly keen on using asymptotic and numerical methods to solve problems, and is also interested in mathematical biology.

Past Group Members
Anthony Bonfils was a postdoctoral researcher funded by Research Ireland, and worked on the genesis and morphology of wrinkles in thin sheets, with a particular interest in their behavior in the plastic regime. Anthony is now working as a postdoctoral researcher at Nordita.
Frank Flanagan completed his PhD through the SFI Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science in 2024. In his PhD thesis, Frank used a combination of finite element methods and perturbation methods to analyse the differential equations describing a metal forming process called metal rolling. This was co-supervised by myself and Alison O'Connor.
Frank now works for MSD in Tipperary.
Sarah Murphy completed her PhD through the SFI Centre for Research Training in Foundations of Data Science in 2024. In her PhD thesis, she used differential equations to learn about chemical decontamination processes. Her work involved numerical methods, asymptotic analysis, chemistry, physics and Stefan moving-boundary problems and was supervised myself, Michael Vynnycky and Sarah Mitchell.
Sarah now works for the Central Statistics Office in Cork.
Emma Greenbank was a postdoctoral researcher funded by insight 2021-2023. Her work in MACSI focused on homogenization for lithium-ion batteries.
Emma now works at the University of Wellington.
Mohammad Javad Mirnia spent the summer of 2023 working as a postdoctoral researcher in MACSI, developing FE simulations of wrinkling in metal sheets during the spinning process.
Javad is currently an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Babol Noshirvani University of Technology in Iran. His broader research interests fall into the field of Advanced Manufacturing, and include sheet and bulk metal forming processes, ductile fracture mechanics, finite element analysis, metal rapid prototyping, and manufacturing processes optimization.
