DrSarah Ferguson Briggs

I am currently a Senior Research Associate in the School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, at the Universty of East Anglia, and a visiting researcher here at Imperial College London.   

My journey at Imperial began in September 2018 when I started my doctoral studies under the supervision of Prof. Jonathan Mestel. I held a position as postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Mathematics at Imperial College London from October 2022- June 2025. Whilst at Imperial, I was a member of the Fluid Dynamics group. My research focused on interfacial instabilities in multi-layer flows. I collaborated with Prof. Jonathan Mestel (Imperial) and Prof. Mark Blyth (University of East Anglia) on research centred around pipe flow for viscous fluids and ferrofluids.  I also worked with Prof. Demetrios Papageorgiou's research group, where we investigated thin-film ferrofluid flows in a nonlinear regime.
