Ice nucleation by mineral particles investigate the effect of clustering on ice nucleation in colloidal suspensions
The capacitance of ice crystals use a Monte-Carlo method to estimate the capacitance of realistic ice crystals
Diffusion of material through an aerosol particle Fick's law does not describe diffusion of some compounds, the Maxwell-Stefan theory does. Investigate the effects this has in this project.
Automated classification of ice crystal images There is a wealth of ice crystal image data that we have taken on various field projects. Devise a method of automatically determining their shape in this project
A simulation of the solar system in MATLAB use accurate ODE solvers to simulate dynamics of planetary orbits
Gravitational field strengths Calculate the gravitational field strength of different shaped objects
