More than 85% of the 2050 building stock is already built and almost all will require some form of retrofit/renovation in order to meet global carbon emissions reductions goals. Read more
This PhD Project aims to develop innovative ‘digitally twinned’ rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland. Energy efficiency is becoming a pressing issue that must be addressed in current and future housing developments. Read more
Background. Fragment-based methods are established for the identification of lead compounds in drug discovery.[1] Fragments are small molecules (molecular weight ~150-300) which bind weakly to proteins. Read more
Building sector accounted for near 40% of energy and process-related CO2 emissions in recent years. To ensure a sustainable built environment, it is vitally important to design buildings that are structurally efficient. Read more
As an emerging concept, digital twins have been adopted to save costs and improve reliabilities in many different industries, including the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. Read more
As the quest for sustainable building increases, Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) promises to be a viable energy source that easily blends with modern architectural materials. Read more
Background. The construction industry is a major contributor to global carbon emissions and urgently needs to address this to reduce its carbon emissions. Read more
SCEBE/21SF/013/IW. Background. The traditional UK dwellings are generally designed with small area of façade openings and building facades with lower U-values to reduce heat losses in winter. Read more
There is strong evidence, which is replicated often and widely, that organisational culture is an influential driver of organisational behaviour, one that can subsume other factors such as strategy, human resource capability and leadership. Read more
Built on the initial work of ‘Applying AI to building blueprints for insurance risk assessment (AURIE)’, this project aims to develop an ontology digital twinning approach to construct the domain knowledge graphs for improved risk assessment and underwriting capability. Read more
Do you want to be part of a talented scientific team dedicated to designing and building motile artificial biological nanomachines? In this PhD project, you will have the opportunity to harness your creativity, imagination, and computational techniques to design and realize multicomponent nanoscale devices capable of powered motion. Read more
Despite the fact that many studies have been undertaken relating to climate change risks, there is still an urgent need for further investigations on the future performance of buildings under a changing climate. Read more
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more
The modular (or prefabricated) construction is not a new concept, but it is attracting a fresh wave of interest after realizing its advantages. Read more
Overcrowding in residential buildings is a growing problem in some areas of the UK, being especially prevalent in ethnic minority households and potentially leading to adverse health and wellbeing impacts, such as increased risk of infection transmission (e.g. Read more
