DESCRIPTION:Suspensions of particles in fluids show complex spatial and te
 mporal behaviour in response to forces and other external conditions. Exam
 ples abound in nature (earthquakes\, mudslides\, avalanches\, volcanoes\, 
 sediments…)\, in industry (packed bed chemical reactors\, fracking fluid
 s\, slurries\, foods\, pharmaceutical manufacture\, oil and gas extraction
 …)\, and in basic science (granulars\, blood flow\, traffic\, colloids\,
  bacteria…). The underlying question across all of these widely varying 
 applications is how interactions between particles\, fluid and environment
  result in process\, behaviour and properties of materials. I will illustr
 ate through some recent work on a range of systems and situations\, includ
 ing jamming in highly concentrated colloids\, engineering enzyme-based ‘
 particle vehicles’ for nanotransport\, and the behaviour of swimming alg
 ae in oscillating flows.
