Identifying host genetic factors shaping rhizosphere microbiome during root disease (ARORA_J23CASE)
Legumes play an important role in the diversification and sustainability of agriculture. Peas are a valuable legume crop as they contribute to meeting the growing demand for plant protein worldwide. Read more
From structure and dynamics to controlled gel formation of sustainable food proteins from plant seeds
Research Project. The PhD project targets the question of how to best exploit the potential for tunable structure formation from plant proteins. Read more
Evolving the adjacent possible for engineering design
The power of natural evolution is all around us in the major branches of life that fill our world, underpinned by a genetic code that describes all creatures from bacteria to bananas to baboons. Read more
5G & Edge computing technologies to unlock compelling immersive multiuser experiences for mobile XR applications
There is an ever-increasing demand for immersive xR (mixed reality) applications across many sectors – sport, retail, gaming and healthcare. Read more
The cellular response to stress: roles in disease and ageing
All living organisms need to adapt to their environment in order to survive and reproduce. They are subjected to many stresses including altered oxygen levels, heat or cold, irradiation, infection and injury. Read more
Heat shapes plant growth - unravelling crosstalk between temperature and hormone signalling pathways in the control of leaf development
Ambient temperature has profound effects on almost all aspects of plant development, from the onset of seed germination and seedling establishment to flower and fruit production, and thereby also impacts crop quality and yield. Read more
General Applicability and Quantitative Predictability of Complex Population-Based Crystallization Models
This project performed in collaboration with Bayer AG (Leverkusen, Germany) will address key challenges in developing experimentally validated process models to aid in the production of crystalline pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals at different scales (lab-pilot-plant). Read more
Engineering Crystalline Microstructures through Laser Ultrasonic Imaging - (ENG 1607)
Background. To determine the mechanical performance of a manufactured structure, the material properties at the nanoscale (chemical composition), microscale (microstructure) and macroscale (geometric shape) all need to be considered. Read more
The relationship between vegetation and morphology in saltmarsh restoration schemes
Managed realignment, where coastal flood defences are breached or lowered to introduce tidal inundation to the coastal hinterland, is becoming an increasingly popular approach to coastal management to restore saltmarsh environments and compensate for habitat and ecosystem service loss elsewhere.

MScR: Seeing forest recovery through the dung: post-disturbance trajectories in Amazonian dung beetles
The climate and biodiversity crisis are the two most pressing societal challenges we currently face. While tropical forests house most of the global biodiversity, insects constitute most of all known terrestrial animals and play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning. Read more
Dissecting the cell intrinsic and external signals regulating re-epithelisation
Metastasis is a complex multistep process where cancer cells escape from the primary tumour, disseminate thoughout the body, and seed secondary growths at distant sites. Read more
Continuous separation of conglomerate forming enantiomers using crystallization process
Enantiomers are the results of chirality or handedness of molecules which are the non-superimposable mirror images of each other. Read more
