معرفی
Peter Watson is a Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical And Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical And Aerospace Engineering. His research focuses on fluidization processes, granular material behavior under vibration, and applications in lunar regolith handling. Watson is a Research Co-investigator in the EPSRC-funded project 'Vibrations as a novel tool for particle self-assembly and vibro-fluidization in space environments', running from 2022 to 2026.
Key research interests include vibration-driven fluidization mechanisms, convective states in granular systems, and pattern formation in vertically-vibrated layers. His work bridges computational modeling (e.g., discrete element methods) with experimental analysis in space-relevant scenarios.
Watson has contributed to peer-reviewed articles in journals like Granular Matter, conference presentations, and datasets related to lunar regolith dynamics. His recent studies explore 3D waveform analysis, closed-container fluidization, and multidisperse particle systems under vibration. Collaborators include Prof. Marcello Lappa and Dr. Ali Anwar.
