Modular and industrialised solutions for building retrofit
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
Digitally twinned rating systems for low energy housing in Scotland.
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
Modular Synthetic Platform for the Optimisation of Fragment Hits to 3-D Lead Compounds for Medicinal Chemistry
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
AI-in-the-loop design optimization of building structures
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
Development of Cognitive Digital Twin for Predictive Maintenance of Building Facilities
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
Building integrated Photvoltaic for existing bulidings
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
SCENARIO: Mitigating greenhouse gas releases from contaminated urban re-development sites (SC2023_25)
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
Adaptive design of the UK dwellings to reduce summertime overheating
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
Building a sustainability-organisational culture: theory-building and empirical modelling
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
Ontology Digital Twinning for Knowledge Modelling and Fusion in Building Risk Assessment and Insurance
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
Designing and Building Motile Biological Nanomachines
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
Building Performance in a Changing Climate
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
Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
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
Structural Performance of Modular Construction Beam with Web Openings
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

Addressing air quality and thermal performance to help tackle inequalities in overcrowded UK dwellings: development of enhanced household overcrowding metrics
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
