1. Radioluminescence : A simple model for fluorescent layers - analysis and applications
Abstract : A phosphor or scintillator is a material that will emit visible light when struck by ionising radiation. In the early days of diagnostic radiology, it was discovered that the radiation dose needed to get an image on a film, could be greatly reduced by inserting a fluorescent layer of a phosphor in direct contact with the film.

2. A First-Principles Study of Highly Anharmonic and Dynamically Disordered Solids
Abstract : This thesis is a first-principles theoretical investigation of solid materials with high degrees of anharmonicity. These are systems where the dynamics of the constituent atoms is too complex to be well-described by a set of uncoupled harmonic oscillators. READ MORE

3. Analytical and Numerical Developments in Strongly Correlated Systems: Perspectives from TDDFT and Green's Functions
Abstract : This thesis investigates different methods for treating strongly correlated systems, and discusses their respective strengths and weaknesses. Many of the results presented in this thesis come from comparing the different methods and approximations to exact results. READ MORE

4. Food Web Ecology -- individual life-histories and ecological processes shape complex communities
Abstract : This thesis sets out a food web framework for size-structured populations. The framework enables an ecological approach to food web modelling as the individual life-history from birth, through maturation, and ultimately death is explicitly resolved with the use of bioenergetics based on individual body size.

5. Conservation Laws, Numerical Schemes and Control Strategies for Sedimentation and Wastewater Treatment
Abstract : A consistent theme throughout this thesis is quasilinear partial differential equations (PDEs) appearing in one-dimensional models of sedimentation for solid-liquid separation of suspensions. We mainly focus on continuous sedimentation in so-called clarifier-thickeners (CTs), which are found in mineral processing and wastewater treatment. READ MORE
