Research interests

My main research interests are in the area of wave interaction with structures and, in particular, scattering and radiation problems in water waves and acoustics. Some of the topics I have written papers on are listed below.

• Wave propagation through doubly-periodic arrays

• Uniqueness, trapped modes, and resonances in the water-wave problem

• Scattering of water waves by large arrays of cylinders

• Diffraction of waves by permeable and segmented barriers with application to the modelling of offshore breakwaters

• The hydrodynamics of wave-power devices

• Acoustic resonances in wave guides

• The mathematical modelling of noise barriers

Ben Carter is a research student working on asymptotic modelling of very large floating structures.

Shiyan Guo is a research student working on applications of the method of matched asymptotic expansions to the scattering of elastic waves.
