Frankly, I would leave out the last clause in that sentence. There seems to be no point to emphasizing that they (the researchers) are interested in doing what they are doing. Thus, the sentence would be: "Meanwhile, research on cavitation bubble collapse and emission in liquids has also focused strongly on dynamics and mechanism."

Dear Teacher:

I think you are right. The last clause is repetitious and excrescent.

I had to look up excrescent.

ex·cres·cent (ĭk-skrĕs'ənt)
adj.
Growing out abnormally, excessively, or superfluously.
Linguistics. Of or relating to epenthesis; epenthetic.
ex·cres'cent·ly adv.

e·pen·the·sis (ĭ-pĕn'thĭ-sĭs)
n., pl. -ses (-sēz').
The insertion of a sound in the middle of a word, as in Middle English thunder from Old English thunor.

[Late Latin, from Greek, from epentithenai, to insert : ep-, epi-, epi- + en-, in; see en–2 + tithenai, to place.]

ep'en·thet'ic (ĕp'ĭn-thĕt'ĭk) adj.

I don't think excrescent fits there, but I do get your point, of course.
