Finite Element Modelling for Optimisation of Renewable packaging

Queen’s University Belfast
School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

Dr G Menary

Applications accepted all year round

This project aims at developing fundamental knowledge of the processing behaviour for a new bio sourced polymer that will transform the packaging industry (an industry worth 57 billion) by replacing petroleum based PET containers for the carbonated soft drink (CSD) and water industries.

Locally-adaptive Bayesian modelling for medical image reconstruction

University of Leeds
School of Mathematics

Dr R.G Aykroyd

Applications accepted all year round

The use of medical imaging techniques are critical in the early diagnosis and treatment of many serious conditions. Over the past 20-30 years there have been major advances in imaging speed and resolution along with equally dramatic decreases in cost.

Plasticiser in the UK terrestrial environment: Occurrence and bioaccumulation?

Centre for Ecology and Hydrology
CEH (Wallingford Site)

Dr D Spurgeon, Prof K C Jones, Dr M G Pereira

Application Deadline: 27 January 2019

Researchers and the public are aware of the potential issues of plastic pollution. Images of birds, mammals and other charismatic species entangled in and eating plastics have created great concern about our profligate plastic use.

Doctor of Engineering (EngD): Biomedical imaging and signal processing for the intra-operative detection of cancerous tissue (Lightpoint Medical)

Heriot-Watt University
School of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Prof D Reid

Application Deadline: 28 February 2019

The EngD is an alternative to a traditional PhD aimed at students wanting a career in industry. Students spend about 75% of their time working directly with a company in addition to receiving advanced-level training from a broad portfolio of technical and business courses.

Resolving the cortex with ultra-high resolution MRI to detect epileptic lesions

King’s College London
School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences

Prof C Prieto

Applications accepted all year round

Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in children and the most common cause is cortical malformations. We have been developing high quality quantitative structural Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to allow these to be more optimally detected.

Novel strategies for molecular imaging of the radiobiological tumour

University of Hull
Faculty of Science and Engineering

Dr S Archibald

Application Deadline: 23 January 2019

Adaptive Radiotherapy. Engineering the radiobiological tumour for improved radiation success. To celebrate the University's research successes, the University of Hull is offering a full-time UK/EU/International PhD Scholarship for candidates applying for each of the following projects as part of a new research cluster.

Development of Novel Imaging Technologies for Eye Disease

University of Liverpool
Institute of Ageing and Chronic Disease

Dr Y Zheng

Applications accepted all year round

Imaging techniques (e.g. optical, PET, MRI, CT, X-rays) play an ever-increasing role in healthcare. A large amount of imaging, clinical and demographic data in particular has been continuously generated in healthcare.

What Lies Beneath? – Imaging biomarkers of osteoarthritic cartilage disease

University of London
The Royal Veterinary College

Dr R Meeson, Prof A Pitsillides

Application Deadline: 10 February 2019

Osteoarthritis (OA), common in humans and dogs, is the painful and debilitating end-destination of diseased joints. OA is typified by articular cartilage degradation, subchondral cyst and bone marrow lesion (BML) formation, osteophytogenesis and significant modifications to bone mass and geometry.
