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
Sustainable feedstocks for low carbon chemicals manufacture
Transitioning chemicals and fuels production towards net zero ambitions requires securing abundant, affordable, low carbon, and renewable feedstocks. Read more
Low-carbon building retrofit by adopting an integrated archetype and net-zero approach
Summary. This PhD opportunity emerges from the need to develop an archetype and low-carbon heating approach that delivers Scotland's net-zero targets considering the implications of the built heritage, the surrounding public and private space and the communities that depend on many of our existing built heritage.

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
Synthesis of Chemical Reaction Networks Prioritising Sustainability (ALBERT CDT)
What is ALBERT?. Doctoral Training in Autonomous Robotic Systems for Laboratory Experiments. A cohort of students will be part of a mini, pilot Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) focused on developing the science, engineering, and socio-technology that underpins building robots required for laboratory automation, e.g. Read more
Development of robotic printable long-life mortar system
Modern Methods of Construction has revolutionised the masonry based construction industry. Flat pack structural forms are manufactured in factory, transported to site and lifted in place, to finish medium to high rise buildings within weeks. Read more
Centre for Doctoral Training in Advanced Automotive Propulsion Systems (AAPS)
The AAPS CDT at the University of Bath is recruiting its fifth cohort starting in September 2023. AAPS integrates a one-year MRes with a three to four-year PhD which combine to give both comprehensive skills training and detailed knowledge in your chosen subject area. Read more
A zero-carbon hydrogen fuelled compression ignition engine for heavy-duty transport applications
A 3-year fully funded position is available to contribute substantially to the development of a new zero-carbon hydrogen fuelled thermal engine technology for heavy duty transport applications. Read more
Effects of low-level carbon monoxide on human brain function
We are looking for a PhD candidate to work on an exciting project studying the human brain, funded by the Carbon Monoxide Research Trust. Read more
Model of Energy Demand and Carbon Reduction for Control of Energy Storage
The techniques of Control Theory, Artificial Intelligence and Statistical Data Analysis have been applied to engineering systems with great success, and the resulting is better energy efficiency using storage. Read more
Certification schemes – how to prove the origin of energy generation
As countries around the world consider ways to transition to low and zero carbon energy systems, there is increasing interest in ways in which the origin of energy generation can be tracked. Read more

Intermediate dark fermentation as a platform technology for chemical recycling and biorefineries in the water sector PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD, with an enhanced stipend of £20,000 per annum, will investigate resource recovery opportunities from sewage sludge with dark fermentation as core enabling technology. Read more
Achieving Material Efficiency in Modern Floor Design based on Human Acceptability
Background. The production of construction materials is a significant source of carbon emissions, and the way of achieving low carbon in construction is to enhance material efficiency. Read more
Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
