Unravelling the Mechanism of Turbulence Suppression in Magneto-convection Pipe Flow (S3.5-MAC-Marensi)
The project combines state-of-the-art advanced mathematical tools and numerical simulations to better understand, model and predict turbulent flows for applications to fusion technology and the clean-energy sector. Read more
Finding and measuring growing black holes in the next generation of astronomical surveys
Finding and measuring growing black holes in the next generation of astronomical surveys. Dr James Mullaney j.mullaney@sheffield.ac.uk . Read more
The Japanese Long-Baseline Neutrino Programme (T2K, Super-Kamiokande and Hyper-Kamiokande)
The particle physics and particle astrophysics (PPPA) group at the University of Sheffield has a long-standing involvement in Japan’s long-baseline neutrino programme. Read more
New concepts and advanced materials for quantum nanophotonics
After the discovery of two-dimensional (2D) atomically thin carbon crystal, graphene, a very large family of layered 2D “van der Waals materials” came to light, called after the van der Waals forces holding together their atomic planes. Read more
Photoevaporation of discs around binary stars, by binary stars.
Most stars form in binary or multiple systems, and furthermore, they form in clusters with tens, to thousands of other stars. Read more
Mid-infrared spectroscopy of massive stars
Massive stars are rare, but nevertheless influence the evolution of galaxies through their mechanical, chemical and radiative feedback. Read more
How accreting white dwarfs evolve
How accreting white dwarfs evolve. Accreting white dwarfs are some of the most dynamic objects in the Universe, changing their brightness drastically on all timescales from seconds to thousands of years. Read more
Simulation of particle physics experiments on graphical processing units
In this project you will combine state of the art software development approaches for GPU programming with the study of interactions of high-energy particles with detectors at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Read more
Development of new tools and technologies for the analysis of mRNA medicines
mRNA therapeutics currently have a market value of >$40 billion, which is estimated to grow to over $100 billion by 2026. Read more

Harnessing the Power of Time Delays in Dynamical Systems
Time delays are often seen as a source of frustration — missed connections due to delayed flights, disrupted online gaming due to communication lags, or instability of dynamical systems due to tiny control loop delays. Read more
Dark Matter Search with ADMX and the Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector Collaboration
This Ph.D. project involves searches for hidden sector dark matter, including QCD axions and axion like particles (ALPs). Our group at Sheffield leads the 'Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector' collaboration, and collaborates with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) collaboration in the USA. Read more
Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more
