Michael Dallaston

Dr Michael Dallaston is a Senior Lecturer in Applied and Computational Mathematics at Queensland University of Technology's School of Mathematical Sciences. His research focuses on theoretical fluid dynamics, interfacial flows, porous media dynamics, and mathematical modelling of complex fluid systems. He holds a PhD from QUT and teaches advanced mathematics courses such as MXB322 (Partial Differential Equations) and MZB126 (Engineering Computation).

His research interests include fluid instability mechanisms, thin film equations, and numerical methods for partial differential equations. Notable work includes studies on Hele-Shaw flows, thermocapillary instability, and chemotaxis-driven cellular dynamics. He has collaborated on projects involving nonlinear dynamics, asymptotic analysis, and computational fluid dynamics.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding interfacial hydrodynamics, singularity formation in thin films, and convective instabilities in porous media. His work bridges applied mathematics with real-world applications in environmental and biomedical systems. Grants and supervision activities are central to his academic contributions, though specific details are not explicitly listed here.
