Development and Validation of Renewable Energy Plants for Harmonic Interaction
Overview. This research project will focus on the study of harmonic interactions between renewable energy plants and the power grid. Read more
Harnessing the power of plant social interactions to breed better rice
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
How do plants, mycorrhizal fungi and soil microbes interact to promote carbon and nutrient cycling?
Applications are invited for a fully funded, 42 month PhD studentship commencing in October 2022 at the University of Aberdeen, as part of The newly established. Read more
Enhancing Plants’ Responses to Environmental Stress
This project will discover how plants integrate light and temperature signals to respond to challenges induced by climate change. Read more
CO2 perception and responses in plants – building new connections
Land plants must constantly adjust and adapt to their environment. Environmental fluctuations often culminate in stress for plant growth, disrupt carbon and water balance, and affect crop productivity and fresh-water use. Read more
Global variation in the thermal tolerances of plants
Land plants have diversified into every major habitat globally, including on Antarctica and in the world’s harshest deserts. Read more
Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants
This project will primarily be based at The University of Manchester. The performance of nuclear power plants, including Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) can be affected by the formation of corrosion deposit. Read more
Dynamic simulation of load-following power plants integrated with CO2 capture technologies
Flexible operation of fossil fuel power plants is becoming a hot topic in the energy generation sector due to the expected increase of intrinsically intermittent renewable technologies in the energy mix in the near future. Read more

An Investigation into the Potential for the Development of a Fusion Fuel Production Industry to service Fusion Power Plants for Electricity and Industrial Heat Production
Fully funded PhD Studentship available with the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University. This PhD Studentship is funded by the UK AEA, Nuclear Fusion CDT (though the EPSRC) and Bangor University. Read more
Shedding light on the functioning of root-fungal symbioses with high resolution isotopic imaging
In this exciting multi-disciplinary project, you will work at the interface between physical and biological sciences, using the latest technologies in both to address key questions that underlie food security in the face of changing climates. Read more
Photoadapt: Light-switchable chameleonic molecules for controlled permeability in plants
Light is unsurpassed in its ability to control biological systems with high spatial and temporal resolution. It has the advantages of non-invasive and remote action, reversibility, speed, and facile modulation of the energies involved (through use of different wavelengths/colours). Read more
Investigation of a Novel Regulator of Plant Yield and Fitness in Plants
Autophagy is an incredibly important and highly conserved process across eukaryotes and involves the regulated destruction of unnecessary or damaged components within the cell. Read more
High resolution methods for assessment of heat loss from plants and arrays of buildings.
PROJECT SUMMARY. . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an array of buildings (or a set of heat sources in an industrial plant or in a power plant) with a cross flow (horizontal wind). Read more
Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
Live Plants Imaging: investigating signalling and response mechanisms
To achieve food security, we can improve the efficiency of food production while reducing the use and cost of pesticides. To tackle both challenges, efficiency and cost, we propose to select crop varieties that are more resilient against pests and diseases. Read more
