Biofluids and Biosystems Modelling Lab (BBML)

The Biofluids and Biosystems Modeling Lab (BBML) was officially created on September 2013 based on two CFI (Canada Foundation for Innovation) grants for Dr. Nguyen-Quang`s research activities. The lab continues to be developed and operated thanks to other NSERC (Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council) funding grants. With different research mainstreams, BBML expects to contribute to a direct PhD program within Dalhousie Faculty of Agriculture and would significantly involve new aspects of fundamental physics, fluid mechanics coupled with life sciences, and will tackle long-standing problems directly applied to biosystems, civil and environmental fields.

The advisor's accessibility, team spirit, frankness and an open mind, all play key roles in the BBML training philosophy. Students will be trained in the recent theoretical developments on separation phenomena and state-of-the-art experimental techniques, including the very highly advanced Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV) and Geographical Information System (GIS) methods, as well as biochemical-physical coupled mathematical models. Critical aspects of BBML training plans therefore include the multi-disciplinary and trans-discipline nature of the various subjects covered and methodologies used to interact, exchange ideas and views, and collaborate closely in a common and truly multidisciplinary research approach.
