Developing Biotechnology Applications for Membrane-Embedded Enzymes (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/Moschos2)
Soluble proteins can be readily used for biotechnology applications. Enzymatically-active protein domains tethered to cell membranes can be also easily accessed by expressing the soluble domain. Read more
Textile wastewater removal using nanoparticle embedded graphene oxide membrane
Graphene has remarkable hydrophobic properties which are ideal for wastewater treatment. Naturally, Graphene repels water, but allows permeation when there are narrow pores within it. Read more
Finding a balance between operational energy, embedded carbon, embedded plastic and material re-use: Learning from the construction industry
Carbon zero targets are often presented in relation to operational energy. Design solutions to achieve these goals alone can, in many instances, result in increased embodied carbon and embodied plastic content and can reduce opportunities for material re-use. Read more
Corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded within low carbon cement concretes made without Portland cement
Corrosion of reinforcing steel in conventional Portland Cement (PC)-based concretes exposed in challenging environments is a common problem, leading to cracking and spalling and its repair is a big cost to the UK economy. Read more
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more
PHD POSITION IN THE FIELD OF IN VITRO SINGLE-MOLECULE BIOPHYSICS TO INVESTIGATE THE REGULATION OF SARS-COV-2 REPLICATION AND TRANSCRIPTION
The Dulin lab offers one fully funded PhD position for 4 years to start as soon as possible in the field of in vitro single-molecule biophysics to investigate the regulation of SARS-CoV-2 replication and transcription. Read more
Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements
The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement. Read more
4D printed composite morphing structures
4D printed actuators transform energy into mechanical motion in response to specific stimuli. They are employed to conduct a range of unique tasks such as self-assembling, and conceive compact systems with a low manufacturing and maintenance costs. Read more

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle with multi-sensors prototype for underwater onsite monitoring
Maritime activities remain a crucial factor to the economy with high expectations for future growth. According to the United Nation, there are more than three billion people depend on marine and coastal biodiversity for their livelihoods. Read more
Spatial decision support analysis for sustainable mobility policies.
This PhD project aims to develop a spatial framework to integrate sustainable mobility into current urban transport planning policies. Read more
ITCH-CF: Investigating The Cardiovascular Health of people living with Cystic Fibrosis in the CFTR modulator era
As life-expectancy improves for people living with cystic fibrosis (pwCF), new challenges in optimally managing an older, co-morbid population are likely to arise. Read more
Development of Advanced Concrete Materials for Additive Manufacturing of Novel Radiation-Resistant Structures in Reactor Environments
How can concrete materials (the most utilized material in the world) be additively manufactured to reduce the construction cost of nuclear energy facilities?… Read more
