Mechanics of soft solids and structures under large deformation
Background. Solid materials that can undergo large deformations are ubiquitous in nature and are widely used to manufacture engineering components, devices and structures. Read more
Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait
The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
Development of Sustainable Mining Equipment using Novel Fracture Mechanics based Structural Design Optimisation
The aim of this PhD project is to develop a robust framework to experimentally and numerically investigate the fracture mechanics behaviour of mining machines. Read more
Geometric fluid mechanics in molecular chemistry
This is a project for highly motivated students with a background in Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics and ideally looking to pursue a research career. Read more
Mechanics of Advanced Materials
The properties of artificial materials can be designed to exhibit extraordinary properties by cleverly engineering their composition. Read more
Photonic simulators of quantum mechanics and solid-state physics
Photonic systems offer a highly-controllable platform for the exploration of universal wave phenomena. In this PhD project, you will experimentally and theoretically investigate the use of optical fibre resonators for simulating dynamical wave phenomena at the frontiers of quantum and mechanics and solid-state physics.

PhD Studentship in Development of Human Gastric Process Computational Models for the Design of Foods with Optimised Nutrient Uptake and Satiety
The Food Consortium CTP is looking for a PhD candidate for the BBSRC funded project “Development of Human Gastric Process Computational Models for the Design of Foods with Optimised Nutrient Uptake and Satiety” based at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College London. Read more
Tissue mechanics: A driver of pathogenesis in B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas (B-NHL) and a therapeutic opportunity?
Applications will be reviewed until a suitable candidate is appointed. You will be working as part of a highly motivated team in the haematology section of the cancer medicine department; many of our past student have entered a career in academic haematology, or medical research. Read more
Computational study on the mechanics of surgical wound healing
Project description. Wound healing is a critical part of recovery and is determined primarily by wound care. Proper wound healing is important not only for aesthetic purposes (scarring minimization and prevention), but also in preventing infections and speeding up the recovery process. Read more
MSc by Research: Regulation and mechanics in polarity
Membranes and their protein organization are a frontier in our understanding of cell biology. We focus on polarized trafficking as a model to uncover fundamental mechanisms in the organization of structures at membranes. Read more
