Current Research

Dr Heller is mainly active in Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics with applications into a wide range of fluid-structure interactions from small to very large scale. The fluid is typically water and the structure a hydraulic structure such as a wall, dam, landslide or iceberg. His research team applies a wide range of measurement systems (Particle Image Velocimetry, laser distance sensors, load cells) and open source codes such as DualSPHysics, OpenFOAM, SWASH and LIGGGHTS-DEM. His current research includes the following key areas:

  • Landslide-tsunamis (impulse waves)
  • Coastal and hydraulic structures
  • Novel scaling laws and scale effects
  • Fluid-structure interaction
  • Marine renewables (wave energy conversion)
  • Machine learning

Dr Heller was the PI of the project "Paradigm shift of landslide-tsunami characterisation and prediction" funded by The Leverhulme Trust (RPG-2021-001) and the supervisor of the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship project "ENSURE: Experimental and Numerical insight into Scale effects in granUlaR slides in the mountainous Environment" (101029080) from Dr Begam. He is also the coordinator of funding applications involving large EU consortia. He was the project leader of the EU funded HYDRALAB+ project "Tsunamis due to ice masses: Different calving mechanisms and linkage to landslide-tsunamis" resulting in a publication in , he was the PI of the NERC funded project "A hybrid investigation of geometrical effects on landslide-tsunamis: Generic hazard assessment and numerical benchmark test cases" (NE/K000578/1) and he was the lead author of the now widely applied landslide-tsunami hazard assessment method "Landslide generated impulse waves - Basics and computation" (recently published in its 2nd edition Evers et al. 2019). He is further an Advisory Editorial Board Member of (Elsevier, Impact Factor 4.4), an Associate Editor of the (Taylor & Francis, Impact Factor 1.7), was an Editor of the Journal (Springer, Impact Factor 6.7, 01.2018-12.2025), he run the special issues and in the (MDPI, Impact Factor 2.9) and the special issue in the Journal (MDPI, Impact Factor 3.4). He has been a technical reviewer for over 40 academic journals, is a member of the , reviewed for four further research councils and his article on scale effects received the 17th Harold Jan Schoemaker Award from IAHR in 2013.
