Radiation effects on fatigue performance of high temperature steels
The aim of this PhD project is to assess the impact of local microstructure and radiation damage on the fatigue performance of advanced high-temperature fusion steels, potential candidates for the first wall and tritium breeder components. Read more
Identification of radiation belt drivers
The Van Allen radiation belts are comprised of energetic particles moving at relativistic velocities that are trapped by the Earth’s magnetic field. Read more
Comparative investigations into proton and photon radiation in chromosomal instability- and telomere spectrum disorders
Chromosomal instability- and telomere spectrum disorders (CITSDs), such as Bloom syndrome (BS), Fanconi anaemia (FA), or Dyskeratosis Congenita (DKC) are inherited conditions with congenital and developmental abnormalities and impaired ability to maintain chromosomal integrity. Read more
Optical Levitation in Hollow Core Fibres
This project will explore the radiation pressure of laser light, to levitate, guide and accelerate particles within novel hollow core fibres (HCFs), targeting both fundamental studies and new applications such as radiation sensing and hypervelocity particle acceleration. . Read more
Exploring single electron transistors for radiation detection
Single-electron quantum devices have potential use as radiation sensors for fundamental and applied science applications. We propose to develop arrays of graphene-based single-electron transistors that operate from deep cryogenic temperatures towards room temperature. Read more
Structural modifications in aged PuO2 - Saturn_Nuclear_CDT
This study aims at understanding radiation induced modifications in fluorite derived oxides that mimic the morphology, crystallography, phase stability similar to PuO. Read more
Funded PhD open to UK-domiciled, home fee applicants of Black African, Black Caribbean or other Black or mixed Black heritage - The evolution of habitat preference during cichlid fish adaptive radiation
Adaptive radiations — groups of closely related ecologically divergent species that have evolved from common ancestry — make up a high proportion of global species diversity. Read more
