Landscape ecology and genetics of Bornean species inhabiting a fragmented landscape
The island of Borneo has some of the oldest rainforests in the world, however, that environment has become threatened by logging and its conversion to agriculture over the last 50-100 years. Read more
Physical and chemical signals of degassing and vesiculation during magma ascent at ocean island volcanoes
Research Group:
Geoscience
Magmatic volatiles provide the driving force for volcanic eruptions through the positive feedbacks between gas exsolution and bubble growth during magma ascent. Read more

Cell cryopreservation precision technologies for health and diagnostics
Commercial partner: . CytoSwim Ltd. , Warwick. Motivation: Around 1 in 6 couples worldwide suffer from infertility, fertility rates decline by ~1.5% per year. Read more
Understanding ice formation mechanisms in convective clouds: secondary ice production during the freezing of supercooled drops.
Clouds are a major driver for much of the uncertainty in weather and climate models and span a wide range of temperatures between 30 ºC to –70 ºC. Read more
Understanding Historical and Contemporary Forces Shaping Tropical Biodiversity for Future Conservation
The large amount of environmental change that has occurred during the Pleistocene, in which tropical forests and grasslands have repeatedly contracted and expanded, has dramatically shaped the biodiversity of tropical ecosystems. Read more
Removing organic contaminants from drinking water; testing the effectiveness of a novel water treatment technology
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Although the United Nations General Assembly, through resolution 64/292, explicitly recognized the human right to water and acknowledged that clean drinking water is essential to the realisation of all human rights, still around 663 million people worldwide lack access to an improved water source, making this one of the biggest environmental problems of our time.

Meals for macrophages – investigating how macrophages engulf and process dying cells in vivo
Supervisors. Iwan Evans (primary supervisor); Phil Elks and Simon Johnston (secondary supervisors). Project details. A critical role for phagocytic cells such as macrophages is the engulfment and subsequent degradation of dying cells and debris. Read more
THE HARD FACTS ABOUT VASCULAR INFLAMMAGING: Role of vascular stiffness on vascular smooth muscle cell inflammatory phenotype
ABSTRACT. Chronic inflammation is a major factor in the initiation and progression of many cardiovascular pathologies, including atherosclerosis, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and pulmonary artery hypertension. Read more
Harnessing extracellular biomechanics to engineer young and prematurely aged skin models in vitro
Background. Skin tissue contains biomechanically, biochemically and topologically distinct niches for its resident cells. Read more
Linking biodiversity with human health to inform the One Health Approach: statistical modeling of comprehensive open-access environmental and health datasets on the globe scale
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on earth at all its levels, from genes to ecosystems, a key part of the nature system. Read more
Brace for impact, supply chain risk management and resilience to avoid pitfalls in a more interconnected and turbulent world. (Advert Reference: SF21/BL/MOS/SA)
The necessary changes caused by global risks sources (e.g., persistent, and emerging risks to human health, food waste and security, rising unemployment… Read more
PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more
PhD in tropical conservation: Quantifying the impacts of land-use change on tropical biodiversity across scales
Tropical land-use change is a core driver of the global extinction and climate change crises. Key questions remain about how land-use change drives species losses and changing composition across the tropics, from local to regional spatial scales. Read more
