Circular hybrid manufacturing involving metal binder jetting process
This PhD project will ignite an exciting new research area for the sustainable production, consumption and recycling of metallic materials for use in Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, in particular binder jetting process. Read more
Noble-Metal Free High-Entropy Alloy Catalyst Design for Drug Synthesis Driven by Machine Learning
This research aims to design and optimize cost-effective, non-precious metal high-entropy alloy (HEA) catalysts for the Heck reaction in drug synthesis by leveraging Density Functional Theory (DFT) and machine learning algorithms. Read more
Verifying the quality of metal additively manufactured components
Additive manufacturing (AM) enables the fabrication of engineering components with a high degree of geometric complexity. This geometric complexity makes the measurement and inspection of metal AM components very difficult. Read more
Metals and host-pathogen interactions: the role of metal handling systems in the human gastrointestinal pathogen Campylobacter jejuni
Campylobacter jejuni is a globally important food-borne pathogen causing an estimated 400-500 million cases of acute human gastroenteritis each year. Read more
Research and Application of Plastic Behavior and Constitutive Model of Thin Plate Metal Materials
Thin sheet metal materials have extensive applications in modern engineering fields. The study of their plastic behavior and constitutive models plays an important role in optimizing manufacturing processes and enhancing product quality. Read more
Microbial metal-head: the integrated roles of metal homeostasis in host-pathogen interaction
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat predicted to cause more than 10 million deaths annually by 2050, greatly exceeding cancer. Read more
PhD Studentship in Novel Metal-metal Solid Bonding Technique
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of advanced manufacturing technologies, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
Does peatland restoration mitigate or liberate metal contamination from historic tin mining sites? Karen
Quantifying the aquatic and terrestrial impacts of historic metal mining sites is crucial, as surface waters from these protected historic environment features are commonly used for drinking water, despite failing water quality standards for metals (manganese, nickel, cadmium, lead) and metalloids (arsenic). Read more
The Development of Catalytic Antimicrobials
Background. Due to the widespread rise in microbial resistance, new classes of antimicrobial agents are urgently needed. However, only very few of the compounds in clinical development represent new structural classes. Read more
