Self-Assembly of Colloidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces into Complex 2D Structures (2025)
Thesis
Eatson, J. (2025). Self-Assembly of Colloidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces into Complex 2D Structures. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5179536

Colloidal particles are used to stabilise multiphase liquids by adsorbing to liquid interfaces, but they also serve as model systems for studying self-assembly in two-dimensions. The rich variety of interactions at liquid interfaces, e.g., electrosta... Read More about Self-Assembly of Colloidal Particles at Fluid Interfaces into Complex 2D Structures.

Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Milky Way (2025)
Thesis
Womack, K. (2025). Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Milky Way. (Thesis). University of Hull. https://hull-repository.worktribe.com/output/5086887

To better understand the processes that have formed the Milky Way and enriched the galactic gas, we can study galactic chemical evolution (GCE). When we study GCE we combine our understanding of galaxy formation with stellar evolution to trace the ch... Read More about Chemical Elements as Tracers of the Evolution of the Milky Way.

A catalogue of complex radio sources in the Rapid ASKAP Continuum Survey created using a Self-Organising Map (2025)
Journal Article
