Abstract:

Dr. Nan Qi, PhD of applied mathematics, has been conducting multidisciplinary and innovative research on computational finite element analysis, mechanical modelling of cells and macromolecules, and mathematical modeling of fluid-structure interaction. She has been studied and worked in UK for six years with Prof Ray Ogden (FRS) and Prof. Xiaoyu Luo (FRSE). She has already published 15 papers, including 11 SCI-indexed ones and 3 conference papers. She has presented her work in lots of internationally significant conferences and workshops. She is a principal investigator of one university research project.

Dr. Qi has obtain Special EPSRC PhD full scholarship (usually exclusive to non-EU citizens)
