Duncan Robin Hewitt

Dr. Duncan Robin Hewitt is an Associate Professor in Fluid Dynamics and Sustainability at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), University of Cambridge, and a Fellow and Director of Studies in Mathematics at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. He holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Cambridge (2010-2014) and has held roles including Lecturer at University College London (2019-2023) and Research Fellow at Gonville and Caius College (2015-2019). His research focuses on fluid dynamics with applications to environmental, industrial, and biological systems, particularly non-Newtonian fluids, porous media mechanics, granular flows, and heat/mass transfer.

Key research areas include modeling complex flows such as clogging, yield-stress fluids, and glacial dynamics. He is affiliated with research groups in Fluid Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, and Theoretical Geophysics. His work spans from fundamental mathematical modeling to practical applications in geophysics and engineering.

Recent publications explore viscoplastic fluid dynamics, ice-sheet dynamics, and porous media convection. His research integrates mathematical analysis with experimental and computational methods, contributing to fields like glaciology, industrial fluid processing, and geophysical fluid dynamics.

Dr. Hewitt collaborates internationally and maintains an active research portfolio. His academic contributions are documented on his personal website: http://www.damtp.cam.ac.uk/user/drh39/.
