Building Stable Interface‑Driven Flow Systems for Material Transport
We are developing flow systems where material is released at localised interfaces under controlled conditions. The primary challenge is maintaining stability, as small geometric variations can disrupt flow and prevent predictable transport. Our work evaluates how interface design influences flow behaviour and material propagation.
A New Approach to Plant-Based Processing
We are developing a platform that allows plant-derived materials to be extracted and transported within a continuous process.
The system is designed to maintain biological function while enabling controlled interaction with a flow environment, supporting stable and repeatable operation.
From Batch to Continuous Systems
Conventional methods rely on batch extraction and post-processing, which introduce variability and limit efficiency. Our approach explores a continuous method that integrates plant‑derived materials extraction and transport, with the potential to improve control, consistency, and scalability.
Potential Impact
Demonstrating the feasibility of controlled, continuous extraction would reduce a key technical barrier to handling plant‑derived biomaterials under regulated conditions. At this stage, the primary impact lies in defining the stability limits and constraints of biological–flow interfaces, providing essential guidance for future system development rather than delivering a specific application or product.
