Thinking Nature Thinking
The project is located at the intersection of philosophy and poetics, between the conceptual labor of exploring and the poetic labor of inventing the idea of nature. Read more
Strong light-matter interaction in van der Waals 2D materials: discovery of novel quantum states of the matter
The isolation of single-atomic layer graphene has led to a surge of interest in a large family of layered crystals with strong in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interlayer coupling. Read more
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more
Investigating perceptions of nature-based solutions in urban and peri-urban environments
Throughout the history of nature conservation there has been major conflicts of interest between different stakeholders, for instance, between national governments and local communities. Read more
Unlocking the secrets of nature's colour palette with machine learning
The natural world contains an awe-inspiring variety of colouration across plant and animal species, but the causes of this diversity are not well understood. Read more
Regulation of water and nutrient cycles with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in a changing environment
Reference number. SCEBE-20-002-AGOSF. Aim & Scope. Climate change and population growth are threatening the quality and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems. Read more

The nature of depression in men with prostate cancer (PCa): associations with inflammation, gut-function and fatty acids.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the UK. The high co-occurrence of depression in PCa adversely affects quality-of-life, disease course and survival. Read more
Nature-based solution to mitigate subsidence hazards
One of most important engineering challenges of our generation is to ensure our infrastructure network is resilient to today's natural hazards and prepared for the future changing climate. Read more
Causal Machine Learning in Aerospace PhD
This PhD project will investigate the recent field of study of Causal Machine Learning, which aims to modify and augment Machine Learning by using Causal Analysis techniques as a way to solve its limitations. Read more
Engineering Ice-Binding Proteins
Ice-binding proteins are produced by extremophiles to help them survive in the worlds coldest places. They have many potential applications, from the storage of cells/tissue to transport infrastructure. Read more
Develop single-cell biomechanical nanotools for novel cardiovascular mechanobiology and cancer immunotherapy
In view of the high complexity and dynamics of protein complexes that perform important physiological functions, it is difficult to visualise and characterise their kinetic and signaling processes on single living cells using traditional biochemical and biophysical techniques. Read more
Nanoscale quantum physics and quantum information processing with semiconductor quantum dots.
Semiconductor quantum dots, known as artificial atoms, are nanometer-sized semiconductor crystals capable of trapping individual electrons. Read more
