Computational modelling of mineral-organic binding in soil
Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). there is three times as much carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere as CO. Read more
Understanding the socioeconomic implications of resource emergencies and associated mitigation policies using Bayesian material flow analysis
Supervisor (primary). Dr. Rupert J. Myers, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Supervisors (co). Dr. Pablo Brito-Parada, Department of Earth Science and Engineering; Dr. Read more
Kinetics and mechanisms of mineral waste carbonation
Self funded 3.5 year PhD in Engineering. Project Summary. Minerals containing earth alkalis are feasible for carbonation or enhanced weathering as an effective CO2 sequestration and storage method. Read more
Feasibility study of mineral mining from subsurface reservoirs for renewable energy storage
Critical minerals such as alkali metals play an important role in batteries and fuel cells. Their demand is expected to increase as more of the world turns to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. Read more
Fluid-rock interaction and its influence on rock mechanical properties
Rock and fluid interactions alternate the fluid flow and mechanical properties of porous material and thus play a significant role in many aspects of subsurface engineering application, for example CO2 geological storage and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. 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
Disentangling land use and climatic roles in sediment delivery to upland British lakes
Changes to agricultural land use practices and climate represent serious challenges to the future management of rural landscapes, as humans have dramatically altered the European landscape over thousands of years. Read more
Where has all of the carbon gone? Understanding the molecular mechanisms of long-term soil carbon capture
Soils, while unglamorous, form the basis of the terrestrial biosphere and are ultimately the source of the majority of the food that we eat, yet fundamental aspects of how soils form and how they store carbon are poorly understood. Read more
Control of Parathyroid Hormone Secretion
The regulation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion is of fundamental importance for calcium homeostasis and in mineral conditions affecting bone and the kidneys. Read more
EcoGuardian: Transforming Urban Sustainability with AI-Driven Air Quality Solutions
This project aims to construct an autonomous computer system (purposeful AI) that continuously collects and analyses datasets from various sources, to support fast-paced data-driven decision-making when dealing with recent or emerging crises. Read more
Last chance to apply
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
Sustainable recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries
Project: The age of the electric car is all but upon us. Billions of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their lifetime along with the widespread application of electric vehicles. 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
PhD candidate (f_m_x) in the project “Densities, structures and refractive indices of carbonate glasses at high pressure“
The Helmholtz Centre Potsdam – GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences is the national centre for geosphere research. As a member of the Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres we are part of the largest scientific organization in Germany. Read more
Decarbonising global supply chains: tools for trade-off decision-making
Context. The energy transition for a low carbon future requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel usage along global supply chains (GSCs). Read more
