Self-funded research project: Quality-distance trade-offs in resource-sharing networks of wood ants
Self-funded MSc by Research. Quality-distance trade-offs in resource-sharing networks of wood ants. Background. Many animals collect resources and defend them from others; peaceful sharing of resources between groups is very rare. Read more
Membrane protein misfolding and disease: quality control pathways
Misfolded proteins represent a continuous threat to cell viability, and if allowed to accumulate, can disrupt cellular function and induce cell death. Read more
Influence of listener movement on tonality and spatial quality in adaptive immersive surround sound systems
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Whilst there is a significant body of work that focuses on the spatial quality and tonality of immersive surround sound systems for a sweet spot position, these qualities under a dynamic listening scenario (i.e. Read more
A novel tool to assess quality of life and aid ethical decision making in kennelled dogs
Project summary. The project will develop a novel instrument for routine use in rescue kennels to provide a valid and reliable measure of quality of life (QOL) of kennelled dogs on a continuum from poor to good. Read more
The impact of peat free compost alternatives on the physical, nutritional and sensory quality of kale
Peat is a finite resource that has been exploited by the horticulture industry, leading to damage of peatland habitats. Peat products are being phased out in the UK and Ireland and replaced with peat-free alternatives, such as biochar, coir, and bark composts. Read more

Improving indoor air quality through behaviour change
Air pollution is considered to be responsible for more than 28,000 deaths each year in the UK alone, and long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with higher rates of cardiovascular and respiratory illness, birth-defects and neuro-degenerative disorders (Laverge et al., 2015). Read more
SERS-based lateral flow assays for human embryo quality assessment
In the past decades, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has been widely used for infertility treatment. However, multiple pregnancies/twin gestation remains an issue because of the implantation of multiple fertilized eggs (embryos) in one IVF cycle for enhancing the pregnancy success rate. Read more
