Polar liquid crystal nematic phases
The nematic phase (N) is the least ordered liquid crystal phase, and in which the long axes of the rod-like molecules are more or less aligned in the same direction, known as the director, whereas their centres of mass are randomly distributed. Read more
Developing a tuneable ferroelectric nematic materials platform
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Nematic liquid crystals are ubiquitous in our lives; we encounter them constantly thanks to their widespread use in display technology. Read more
Climate change, marine fisheries and conservation in West Greenland
We are looking for a candidate with an interest in climate change and polar marine ecosystem issues, and strong numerical and computer coding skills. Read more
Investigating solar protection during plant growth
Research Group:
CENTA - Central England NERC Training Alliance
Project Highlights. Acquire diverse skills set centred on understanding of the ‘Biophysics of Life’ by working with Life Scientists and Chemists at Warwick University. Read more
Including the Aurora in Spacecraft Orbit Prediction
Supervisory Team. Hugh Lewis (SoE), Daniel Whiter (P&A), Robert Fear (P&A). Project description. Read more
Nanomaterials as White Light Emitters for Low Cost Lighting
Research Group:
Chemistry and Biosciences
White-light emission (WLE) from semiconductor nanostructures is presently a research area of intense interest especially where the primary objective is to replace conventional light sources by environmentally friendly materials in order to minimize energy costs and therefore the global energy consumption for lighting.

Atmospheric transport and orographic rainfall of microplastics
Microplastics are transported in the natural environment by a wide range of processes and as a consequence are found in all environments, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, in urban environments and polar ice caps. Read more
Development of DNA repair therapeutics to overcome cancer resistance to chemotherapy
Research Group:
Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Reduced oxygen supply (hypoxia) is a common feature of cells distant to blood vessels in most solid cancers. It reduces the effectiveness of chemotherapy and promotes cancer aggressiveness and spread. Read more

Tracking Greenland’s Elusive Glaciers from Space
Project Description. This project offers the exciting opportunity to advance understanding of the contribution of Greenlandic glaciers to global sea-level rise. Read more
Polarisation diversity and ultra-wideband antenna for feature extraction
This is a fully funded PhD project which is offered funded by the Defence Science Technology (DST) Missile Defence Centre (MDC), conducting low technology readiness level research. Read more
Understanding the role of microorganisms in the formation of iron sulfides in the sedimentary record
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
The iron sulfide mineral greigite, Fe. 3. S. 4. , is found widely in nature, especially in sulfate-reducing diagenetic sedimentary environments. Read more
Understanding gene regulation by HDAC1 complexes in development and cancer
Packaging DNA into nucleosomes helps protect the long fragile genomes of eukaryotic species. However, in doing so it becomes an ever-present physical barrier to the machinery required for its replication, repair and transcription. Read more
Microbial activity on glaciers and ice sheets: an integrated modelling and empirical approach.
Research Group:
Earth Surface Science
Glaciers and ice sheets are important microbe-dominated ecosystems, that are undergoing rapid changes due to climate change. Supraglacial (glacier surface) ecosystems contain organisms from all three domains of life, which drive carbon and nutrient cycling, and cause ice darkening, thus enhancing ice mass loss. Read more
PhD in snow microphysics
The formation and evolution of ice particles (snowflakes) in clouds is an important problem in atmospheric physics. Ice particles in clouds influence the radiation budget of the earth. Read more
