air PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 239 air PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Rapid production of hollow spheres using coaxial nozzles
When a gas surrounded by a liquid film flows out of a coaxial nozzle, the stream can spontaneously deform into liquid shells; bubbles of air trapped in a layer of liquid. Read more
Microbubble condenser: Creating a new unit operation for fermenters and (bio)processing. (S3.5-CMB-Zimmerman)
The Mpemba effect experiments have mystified scientists and engineers since modern observation in 1964 (Mpemba and Osborne, 1969), but was known as far back as Aristotle and commented on by da Vinci. Read more
Selective targeting of furin for the treatment of fibrotic lung disease.
Furin, a proprotein convertase has been established as a therapeutic target across several disease areas to include chronic airways diseases and infectious disease, such as COVID-19 (reviewed in our recent publication, Douglas et al, 2023). Read more
Granular geophysics: models of particle-laden flow
This project is defined by its methodology rather than the applications. Applications will be determined by the student in discussion with the supervisors. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Remote, range-resolved ultra-violet Raman spectroscopy for safety in hydrogen fuel and nuclear industries (Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Project Description. The detection and monitoring of substances from a distance is extremely important to several industrial production and safety processes. Read more
Exploring Visual Search Efficiency in a Multidimensional Framework
Proposal: . The ability to detect and select objects in the scene is fundamental to goal-directed behaviour. Models of visual search have been developed to understand the neural mechanism that contribute to search strategies that optimise the accuracy and speed of target detection. Read more
Pneumococcal colonisation and microbiota interactions in the ageing airway
Bacterial colonisation of the upper respiratory tract (URT) is pre-requisite of multiple respiratory tract diseases including pneumonia, otitis media, sinusitis, exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and, less commonly, diseases resulting from bacteraemia such as meningitis. Read more
Understanding centriole assembly in diverse human cells using advanced imaging and genomics
Centrioles are microtubule-based structures that form two different important cellular organelles. centrosomes and cilia. Centrosomes organise the microtubule cytoskeleton, and consequently have critical roles in cell division and cell polarity. Read more
Predatory plant or fair trade? Shedding light on the relationship of ants with carnivorous pitcher plants, NERC GW4+ DTP PhD studentship for September 2025 Entry Ref: 5415
Supervisors. Lead Supervisor Ulrike Bauer, University of Exeter, Biosciences. Additional Supervisors. Christoph Grüter, University of Bristol, Biosciences . Read more
Hybrid Energy Harvester Based on Colloidal Quantum Dot Solar Cells and Triboelectric Nanogenerator
Recent advances in energy harvesting using photovoltaic and triboelectric effects demonstrate outstanding performances of energy harvesters as power supplies. Read more
Solution synthesis of multi-anion functional materials
Solution synthesis routes to functional materials offer opportunities to new crystal structures and low temperature conditions not possible through sub-solidus solid state reactions. Read more
Innovative Cooling using Magnetic Liquid for High Power Density Electrical Machines - S3.5-ELE-Li
Electrical machines are central to our daily lives, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. They are responsible for more than 99% of global electricity generation and over 50% of electricity consumption. Read more
Modelling synergistic interactions between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a.k.a. “forever chemicals”, with cell painting and machine learning
We are all exposed to a myriad of chemicals through the environment, throughout the day. By air, water, and food, everyone is continuously exposed to hundreds of chemicals at low levels. Read more
Uncovering how ABA dynamics in Arabidopsis, wheat and rice respond to low humidity to control water loss
We welcome applicants for a plant science PhD studentship in Dr Jim Rowe’s group, starting in October 2025, which is fully funded (tuition and stipend) for UK students. Read more
The integration of 2D and 3D image processing and AI for in-situ low-cost evaluation of Carbon life-cycle of buildings
Project ID. SS_18. Theme: Safety and Sustainability. A PhD scholarship is available at Nottingham Trent University to develop, using 2D and 3D image processing and AI, algorithms and software that can be used to assess the Carbon footprint of buildings and life-cycle analysis. Read more
