Professor Dominic Vella

Biography:
I am an Associate Professor in Applied Mathematics at the Mathematical Institute in the University of Oxford and a tutorial fellow at Lincoln College. Within the Mathematical Institute, I am affiliated to OCCAM and OCIAM.
My research is concerned with various aspects of solid and fluid mechanics in general but with particular focus on the wrinkling of thin elastic objects and surface tension effects. You can read more about this and my other work by following the links at the top of this page.
In earlier lives, I studied at Trinity College, Cambridge and did post-docs in Paris (supported by the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851) and in Cambridge.

Research Interests:
My main research interests lie in the general area of continuum mechanics with particular interest in the elasticity of thin objects (including wrinkling) and also in fluid flows that are driven, or controlled, by surface tension.
