Algae based building materials
With more than one-third of the global energy consumption and nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions are linked to the construction industry, we need to find low carbon alternatives for this industry. 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
Biological self-healing for advanced and sustainable masonry materials
Biological processes, such as biomineralization, have been explored for consolidating porous materials and as a new class of self-healing cement-based building materials. Read more
Discovery of materials for enhanced PV performance (Ref NSGPVPS2023)
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the computational discovery of new materials to enhance the performance of PV devices and forms part of a larger collaboration with NSG around the discovery of new materials for the glass 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
Construction materials and products. Investigation about embodied carbon assessment methods and solutions
Buildings consume 40% of energy produced in the world. This percentage increases to over 60% in the UK. In European countries, existing regulations limit operational energy consumption/carbon emissions and have brought to considerable savings. Read more

Geopolymeric membranes for water purification on Mars and the Moon
Martian and lunar dust simulants are terrestrial material designed to simulate the known chemical and mechanical properties of martian and lunar soil (regolith). Read more
PhD Studentship in Supramolecular Chemistry – Synthetic Carbohydrate Receptors with Medical Applications
Carbohydrates are central to biology, serving as fuels and building materials and also as carriers of information controlling biological processes. Read more
Modelling Human-Structure Dynamic Interaction on Lightweight Structures
An ever-increasing use of building materials with high strength-to-weight ratios has led to development of slender and lightweight structures with dazzling forms, especially in case of landmark public structures such as footbridges as well as walkways and corridors between buildings, at airports and shopping centres.
