Success in Royal Society Grant – International Exchanges 2020 Cost Share (NSFC)

Leave a reply

Dr Liu has been awarded £11,685 by the Royal Society as PI for the International Exchanges 2020 Cost Share (NSFC) programme. This grant will allow Dr Liu’s team to collaborate with Professor Caishan Liu’s research team at Peking University to work on the project “On the dynamics of two contacting bodies under frictional sliding”. The project aims to investigate the friction mechanism for a pill-sized capsule endoscope moving in the gastrointestinal tract.
