Self-funded MSc R- Sublethal effects of novel insecticides on a beneficial parasitoid wasp and the implications for biological control
Broad-spectrum chemical insecticides such as neonicotinoids are a major cause of beneficial insect declines globally. In response to this, bans and restrictions on neonicotinoid use have been implemented on a global scale in an attempt to reverse trends in insect biodiversity loss. Read more
Self-funded MSc R- Understanding the consequences of unpredictable cold stress events on a beneficial insect and the implications for natural pest control in agricultural landscapes
The earth is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate. As ectotherms, insects are highly susceptible to temperature change, with temperature impacting all aspects of their fitness. Read more
Defensive symbiont dynamics in the biological control of agricultural pests
Primary Supervisor: Dr Lee Henry. Co-Supervisor(s): Prof Richard Nichols. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Building orthogonal ribosome control for engineering biology
Background: . Genetic control challenges in both fundamental biology and biotechnology are effectively tackled by building functionally separated (orthogonal) systems within one cell. Read more

Funded PhD SWBio DTP- The role of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi on pest-host-parasitoid interactions: a chemical ecology perspective
Host institution. Rothamsted Research (Harpenden) Submit applications to this project to University of Bristol. Project description. Read more
Flexible Iterative Learning Control: Enabling Trial-Variant Learning for Real-World Applications
This PhD project aims to advance iterative learning control (ILC) by overcoming the limitation of requiring identical references in each trial, a constraint that can be impractical for many real-world applications. Read more
Decentralised and Distributed Active Noise and Vibration Control
The main aim of this research project is to develop active noise and vibration control systems for large-scale industrial installations, that overcome challenges of practical system integration through intelligent algorithm design. . Read more
User-centred Assistance Control in Physical Human-Robot Collaboration: A Predictive Model-Based Approach
In the realm of human-robot collaboration, the precise recognition of human intentions is pivotal for robots to understand user needs and offer natural, effective assistance. Read more
Optogenetic Control of Texture Perception in the Visual Cortex
Supervisors. Prof. Andrew Benucci. Studentship Funding. Name. SBBS Studentship. Funder. School of Biological and Behavioural Sciences (SBBS) at QMUL. Read more
The Computational and Neural Dynamics of Human Motivation and Cognitive Control

How do RNA-binding proteins control splice site selection? A multi-disciplinary approach
Almost every protein-coding gene in vertebrates can and does express multiple proteins. This is achieved primarily by RNA splicing, which is an essential step in gene expression in mammals and generates incredible diversity. Read more
Building synthetic cells to study mechanical processes in zebrafish development
A long-standing goal is to identify the roles of mechanical forces and cell material properties in regulating essential processes during development, including tissue morphogenesis, cell migration and cell fate specification [1]. Read more
Integration of localized electrically deciphered epigenetic profiles for enhanced stem cell therapy
One fully funded Frederick E Hopper full-time PhD scholarship is available in the School of Dentistry for a start in October 2025. Read more
Flexible and Intent-Aware Exoskeleton for Gait Assistance
Gait deficits affect millions of individuals worldwide due to various conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, and age-related mobility issues. Read more
