Perhaps come back later to see more about Lloyd Fung?

About me
===========
I was elected as a Research Fellow by [Peterhouse](https://www.pet.cam.ac.uk) in 2021. I am currently working with [Prof. Raymond Goldstein](http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/gold/) at the [Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics](https://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk), Cambridge.
Welcome! I am a fluid dynamicist working on various topics in biological fluid dynamics. I specialise in the continuum modelling of dilute active suspensions and their pattern formation.

I completed an M.Eng. in Aeronautical Engineering at the [Department of Aeronautics of Imperial College London](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/aeronautics) in 2017, with a year in industry working in Rolls-Royce. Funded by the President's scholarship of Imperial, I continued to pursue a PhD in the same department and graudated in 2021, under the supervision of [Dr Yongyun Hwang](https://www.itpfg-hwang.group). During my PhD, I became increasingly fascinated by the complexity and beauty of nature's design language. I am particularly interested in the modelling of biological phenomena across scales. Nature designs organisms from the cellular level but often manifests its beauty at the macroscopic scale through the collective self-organisation or synchronisation of cellular physics. My research revolves around understanding emergent phenomena in biology by a combination of advanced computational and mathematical techniques.

In my PhD, I explored the collective behaviour of bottom-heavy algal species. He tackled the challenge of modelling the collective transport of motile organisms in a complex flow environment. My current focus is on extending the same method to describe the sedimentation of planktons in the ocean.
