Dr Doireann O'Kiely
Funded Investigator Modelling
Biography
Doireann is an applied mathematician specializing in fluid mechanics, solid mechanics and chemical transport, working in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Limerick, Ireland. She is motivated by real-world systems, and her research interests include the dynamics of thin viscous, elastic and plastic sheets (motivated by applications such as glass manufacture, elastic wrinkling, and metal forming), and fluid flow and reactions inside porous media (including drug dissolution, decontamination problems and battery modelling). Her mathematical modelling approach primarily uses differential equations, perturbation methods and numerical methods.
