Geological Fate and Impact of Isosaccharinic acid (Geo-FISA)
About the Project. The nuclear fuel cycle has generated higher-level radioactive wastes that will be disposed of in a deep geological facility (GDF) that will provide multiple barriers to the migration of radionuclides to the surface over prolonged timescales (tens of thousands of years). Read more
Understanding Cement-Superplasticiser Interactions in Blended Portland Cement Wasteforms
In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning, by either encapsulating it in cement, or another method, to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
Understanding Cement-Superplasticiser Interactions in Geopolymer Encapsulants for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste
In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
Next-Generation Low-Carbon Cement Wasteforms for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste
In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more
Controls on high-grade stratiform Co mineralisation in the Central African Copperbelt (CRITICAL)
Fully-funded 4-year Ph.D position in Critical Metals. Supervision team. Dr. Lingli Zhou (lead supervisor) . School of Earth Sciences, University College Dublin, Dublin, Ireland. Read more
Novel Additives to Enhance the Performance of Low Carbon Cements for a Net Zero Future
Cement is the ‘glue’ in concrete, the foundation upon which our modern civilisation is built. However, this comes with a huge environmental cost - cement production generates 8% of global CO. Read more
Uranium and U-series radionuclide behaviour in phosphate-based cement systems – underpinning safe disposal of nuclear waste.
About the Project. Disposal of nuclear legacy waste is one of the biggest scientific and engineering challenges of the 21st Century. 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.

Magnox sludge immobilisation in bespoke acid-based geopolymers
This research project will be conducted at the University of Leeds, and the supervisory team comprises early career researchers as well as a senior academic, internationally recognised for their expertise in the design, advanced characterisation and performance assessment of cementitious materials for both nuclear wastes disposal and infrastructure applications.
