Formulation of layered silicate-polymer composite particles for the potential oral delivery of biologics
Oral administration for pharmaceutical actives is the most convenient and preferred method of drug administration but it is challenging to develop oral delivery systems for biologics such as recombinant proteins, peptides, and vaccines. Read more

Using Statistical Machine Learning to Design Particles for Drug Delivery
Loughborough University has seen 94% of our research impact rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
Generation of human cytomegalovirus-pseudotyped particles and development of systems for the study of viral cell entry mechanisms, neutralizing antibody responses to infection and vaccination, and testing of potential novel therapeutics
Overview. Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) establishes lifelong infections of the host with >60% infected across the globe. In healthy children and adults HCMV produces mild symptoms like influenza or mononucleosis. Read more

Modelling the Behaviour of Legacy radioactive particles.
University of the Highlands and Islands
Environmental Research Institute, North Highland College, Thurso
An opportunity has arisen to investigate the behaviour of legacy particles within the marine environment of the Pentland Firth. The successful candidate will undertake hydrodynamic modelling to understand how particles of varying compositions move under the combined forces of currents and waves. Read more
Active sticky particles
Active particles are a class of material that has been studied in detail in the past decade, in a wide range of contexts from the transport and collective behaviour of bacteria and algae to nanoengineering with artificial driven nanoparticles and colloids. Read more
Tuning materials from within: growing endo/exo-particles for energy conversion devices
The ability to disperse nanoparticles on the surface of materials has revolutionised surface science and catalysis, speeding up a wide range of chemical reactions of great practical importance. Read more
Radiative transfer for particles in high temperature environments
Heat transfer to solid-phase particles is an important phenomenon for many flows of practical interest. Modelling will play a key role in the design of optimisation of these systems, however there is a need to adapt currently adopted models for calculating the heat transfer to the solid phase particles.

Understanding ice formation mechanisms in convective clouds: secondary ice production during the freezing of supercooled drops.
Clouds are a major driver for much of the uncertainty in weather and climate models and span a wide range of temperatures between 30 ºC to –70 ºC. Read more
Reversible Assembly of Solid Patchy Particles
This PhD project will explore technological possibilities for colloidal self-assembly. The aim is to develop method(s) for reversible assembly of micrometer-scale solid colloidal particles into structures such as 3D porous matrices. Read more
Nanoscale boundaries: understanding size effects on the reactivity of ultra-small particles
Background. Nanoscience and nanotechnology explore the special properties and processes that occur in the nanoscale. the size range conventionally considered as 1-100nm. Read more
Searches for supersymmetry and dark matter particles with the ATLAS experiment
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
The student will work on the analysis of the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider to search for new particles that are postulated by Supersymmetry. Read more
Mapping pathogen transport and retention near ciliated surfaces. MRC GW4 BioMed DTP PhD studentship 2023/24 Entry, PhD in Mathematics
Summary. Cilia fulfil numerous physiological functions. From protists to mammals, cilia have highly conserved structure and function. Read more
Particle accelerator simulations for new particle physics experiments
Particle colliders are incredibly complex and expensive devices to design, construct, operate and maintain. There are multiple “frontiers” in particle physics – high energy, high intensity and low background. Read more
