Improving indoor air quality through behaviour change
Air pollution is considered to be responsible for more than 28,000 deaths each year in the UK alone, and long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular and respiratory illness, birth-defects and neuro-degenerative disorders (Laverge et al., 2015). Read more
Looking to the future: Monitoring Indoor Air Quality in buildings
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
The overall objective is to generate and test out a system to monitor building indoor air quality (IAQ) to avoid the difficult situation the world has suffered… Read more
The aerodynamics of skyscrapers: tall building clusters and the urban environment
By 2050 our cities will host 68% of the world’s population, compared to the current 54%, and 33% in the 1960s. This increase is often accomplished by the proliferation of tall buildings (TBs) that maximise the provision of housing and commerce using a limited street-level footprint. Read more
Sustainable approaches to reducing air pollution and carbon emissions in urban hospital environments (RENU22C/EE/GES/DEARY)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Photolysis reaction mechanisms with emerging and new technologies
Background. Photochemistry controls a vast array of the natural and man-made processes known to science. photosynthesis, atmospheric and combustion chemistry, plasma technology, solar energy. Read more
Atmospheric chemistry of new green solvents
Background. Solvents make up the bulk of waste from the chemical industry yet little attention is paid to the environmental impact of these volatile organic compounds (VOC) once released to the atmosphere {1-2}. Read more
PhD in Engineering - Compact Terahertz Gas Sensors for Non-Invasive Early Disease Detection
The School of Engineering of the University of Glasgow is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project to work on fabrication and characterisation of compact gas sensor chips for non-invasive early disease detection applications. . Read more
Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Climate Change
Research Group:
Communication and Networks
Climate science has progressed tremendously in the last several decades with the advancements in tools for measuring our Earth’s past and present climate and predicting the future. Read more
Impacts of cooking on indoor air chemistry
In developed countries, it has been estimated that (pre-Covid) we spend more than 90% of our time indoors, whether at home, in the workplace or commuting between the two. Read more
Searching for dust storms using emerging machine-learning techniques
Introduction. Atmospheric mineral dust is a key component of the Earth system. It affects the radiation budget through atmospheric absorption and scattering, it is a condensation nucleus in clouds and once it is deposited it can act as a nutrient for iron-limited ecosystems. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunity: A novel ventilation-pollution nexus framework for offsetting carbon by smart indoor spaces
The considerable time people spend indoors has made indoor air quality (IAQ) more important than ever before. The biggest challenge is understanding the ventilation-pollution nexus as airtight buildings preserve energy but worsen the IAQ due to limited ventilation and vice-versa. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD): Laser sensing and ranging systems based on novel laser sources in mid- and long- infrared spectral regions (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will address the urgent requirement for new photonics tools to police stricter greenhouse gases (GHG) emission standards. Read more
PhD in atmosphere-biosphere-climate interactions and land-based CO2 removal strategies
The 2021 IPCC Report recognizes urgent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and large-scale CO2 removal (CDR) are urgently required to mitigate climate change. Read more
Modular hydrogen storage for low-carbon road transport
Green molecular or di-hydrogen (H2) is an exciting and interesting option as a low-carbon fuel for road transport, including light- and heavy-duty vehicles, with the added benefit of lower negative air quality impacts compared with fossil fuels whether used in ICEs or fuel cells. . Read more
Investigation of new advanced materials and structures for development of self-charging hybrid energy systems (VP2208)
The PhD research project relates to a recently awarded Vice Chancellor PhD Studentships 2022. PhD project work will be based within the Institute of Thin Films, Sensors & Imaging (ITFSI –. Read more
