Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants

We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more

Studying disordered materials by 3D electron diffraction

Structural disorder in materials can be an important method of understanding their properties for a wide range of applications. However detecting and modelling disorder at the nanoscale can be a difficult undertaking. Read more

High Entropy 2D Materials for Efficient Water Splitting - Postgraduate Research Teaching Associate (PGRTA) Scholarship

We invite applications for a fully-funded Ph.D. position to conduct cutting-edge research in the field of high entropy 2D materials for water splitting, building upon our recent publications in the field (Chemistry of Materials 35 (19), 7904-7914; Advanced Science, 2204488). Read more

Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications

  Research Group: Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more

Development of polymerisation-induced self-assembly (PISA) systems for mechanochemical transformations

Block copolymers (BCPs) have potential in applications ranging from drug delivery to sensing or functional coatings due to their ability to form a wide range of controlled self-assembled nanostructures in solution. Read more

Mathematical Modelling of High Energy Density Laser-Substrate Interactions

The project is to contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MOD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by MBDA. Read more
