Self-funded PhD- Exploring the Mechanisms of Bacterial Pathogen Entry and Colonization in Plants through Wounds
How bacterial pathogens enter and colonise plant via wounds?. Wounding of plants by hard wind, hail, heavy rain, sand storms, and frost is common in nature. Read more
Upcycling Farm Residues into Fungal Bio-inks for 3D Printing
This research plan is a collaboration between the School of Life Sciences and the School of Engineering, which will see the candidate work on fundamental aspects of biomaterials development while at the same time leading to practical applications of 3D bio-printing. Read more
One Crop Health PhD Programme - Capturing the true predatory interactions driving crop protection
Background. Carabid beetles are predatory insects, extensively proven to contribute significantly to control of a range of agricultural pests. Read more
One Crop Health PhD Programme - Towards a mechanistic understanding of disease suppressive soils
Current agricultural systems are unsustainable. Crop diseases cause estimated yield losses of 20-40% annually. Disease is likely to increase with climate change and loss of agrochemicals, hence alternative methods of crop protection are essential. Read more
EASTBIO: Pollinators, Microbiomes, and Landscapes: Forecasting Pollination Efficiency for Coffee and Lulo in a Changing Colombia
This fully funded, 4-year PhD project is part of a competition funded by the BBSRC EASTBIO Doctoral Training Partnership. Pollination is essential for the productivity of agricultural systems and the preservation of biodiversity, yet it is increasingly threatened by land-use changes and environmental pressures. Read more
(2025-OU12 )Life from fire? Can smouldering gas emissions support microbe growth?
Over one billion people cannot access safe drinking water. Even a robust treatment network – like used in the UK – cannot adequately protect water resources, as a recent 2022 UK parliament report revealed that not a single river in England met good chemical status (Environmental Audit Committee, 2022).

Towards a biosecurity system to manage the threat of Avian Influenza in Nigeria
Avian influenza (AI) is a highly contagious and devastating zoonotic disease so that World Health Organization (WHO) emphasize the importance of surveillance in both animal and human populations to detect and respond to outbreaks promptly. Read more
One Crop Health PhD Programme - Developing image processing and machine learning tools for automatic identification and quantification of cabbage stem flea beetle pressure.
Background. Cabbage stem flea beetle (Psylliodes chrysocephala, CSFB) is one of the main pests of oilseed rape (Brassica napus, OSR) in Europe. Read more
