air pollution PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 23 air pollution PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Children’s cognitive development: how is it affected by traffic-related air pollution in and around schools?
There is evidence that air pollution can have a negative impact on children’s cognitive development (Gartland et al., 2022). Read more
Transforming the Future: AI-powered Sustainable solution to enable fast response to dangerous pollution levels for a breathable tomorrow
The research project aims to construct an autonomous computational system using purposeful AI (ML, Deep Learning) that continuously collects and analyses datasets from various sources (e.g. Read more
Source-specific quantification of ammonia emissions
Background. Ammonia (NH3) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles and nitrogen deposition. Read more
Sustainable Recycled Textiles for Engineering Applications
Worldwide demand for the apparel industry keeps growing while triggering an environmental impact on human health. The textile industry accounts for around 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
Space-based constraints on UK ammonia emissions and air quality impacts
We are offering an exciting PhD opportunity, in the School of Earth and Environment, to undertake novel research targeting one of the major air quality challenges facing the UK – the ammonia problem! Ammonia (NH3) is emitted primarily from diffuse agricultural sources and difficult to quantify for legislative purposes. Read more
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Urban Air Quality Simulation and Management
This research project offers an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about addressing the critical issue of urban air quality through cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. Read more
Ammonia futures – the changing face of atmospheric nitrogen emissions
Introduction. Air pollution is the greatest environmental threat to human health, and impacts biodiversity, and ecosystem services. Read more
Biocoal research for use in heritage steam railways
The UK has over 200 heritage railway lines in operation. Traditionally these have run on coal, preferably Welsh steam coal, a form of bituminous coal known for its good calorific values, low sulphur content and semi smokeless properties. Read more
Evaluating the meaning and distribution of ‘Tree Equity’ in Surrey: An interdisciplinary approach
Having access to trees reduces respiratory illness and improves mental health and well-being (Pataki et al 2021). Tress also provide protection from climate extremes such as flooding and heatwaves (Leets et al 2022). Read more
Aerodynamic flow control for UAVs
The project. The global commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)/drone market is experiencing significant growth and is projected to reach USD $57 billion by 2030. Read more
Spatial decision support analysis for sustainable mobility policies
This PhD project aims to develop a spatial framework to integrate sustainable mobility into current urban transport planning policies. Read more
Deep learning for traffic prediction and analysis (Ref: ABCE-HH2-24)
We are excited to offer a fully funded PhD position at the intersection of machine learning and transportation. The transport sector, both in the UK and globally, faces critical challenges, including severe congestion—which costs London alone £5 billion in lost productivity annually and accounts for 5% of the UK’s GDP. Read more
Advancing Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Transport Infrastructure Monitoring and Maintenance (Ref: ABCE-GH1-24)
We are excited to offer a fully funded PhD position at the intersection of machine learning and transportation. The transport sector, both in the UK and globally, faces critical challenges, including severe congestion—which costs London alone £5 billion in lost productivity annually and accounts for 5% of the UK’s GDP. Read more
Sustainable waste-to-chemicals strategies to promote circular economy.
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
