biography

Edward Payne completed Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering/Bachelor of Computer Science (Mechatronics) in 2004, from the University of Melbourne. In 2005 he commenced a PhD in the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering in collaboration with CSIRO researching bubble dynamics.

research

Nonlinear bubble dynamics and sonoluminescence (the emission of light from a collapsing bubble). Interested in the behaviour of acoustically excited bubbles (in water) attached to a boundary, with potential applications in the biomedical field. Stability of the shape modes of acoustically excited bubbles attached to a boundary is of interest.
