Multifunctional hybrid porous silica nanoparticles for stimuli-responsive delivery of novel antimicrobial agents
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The rapid emergence of multidrug-resistant superbugs poses a serious global health and socioeconomic threat. This project builds upon our expertise in the facile and scalable synthesis of novel, highly uniform porous silica nanoparticles for drug delivery. Read more
Chemical Control of Silica Scaling in Geothermal Systems
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
This joint PhD project with Schlumberger Cambridge Research Centre will focus on the evaluation and optimisation of newly developed geothermal silica scaling inhibitors. Read more
Silica Coated Gold Nanorods for Combined Photothermal Treatment
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Gold nanoparticle exhibit strong optical absorption due to their localised surface plasmon resonance (SPR). All almost all the energy absorbed at the SPR is converted into heat. Read more
Meeting future net-zero carbon energy needs: Developing novel materials and methods for borehole sealing
Overview. This project will investigate new technologies for borehole sealing to prevent the upward leakage of fluids and gases that are stored at-depth in the ground. Read more
Development of low-cost ultra-high performance low-carbon concrete
According to the Portland Cement Association (PCA), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is ‘‘a high-strength, ductile material formulated by combining Portland cement, silica fume, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high range water reducer, water, and steel or organic fibres. Read more
Modelling and characterisation of chip formation and machining induced defects of nano-particle toughened Carbon Fibre Polymer Composites
Fibre reinforced composites with thermoset polymer matrix are replacing metallic engineering alloys due to their strength/weight ratio specially in the aerospace and automotive industries. Read more
Modelling and characterisation of chip formation and machining induced defects of nano-particle toughened Carbon Fibre Polymer Composites
Fibre reinforced composites with thermoset polymer matrix are replacing metallic engineering alloys due to their strength/weight ratio specially in the aerospace and automotive industries. Read more
Effect of chemical degradation and formulation stability on viscoelastic relaxation processes
Current accelerated stress relaxation tests indirectly show how a polymer network rearranges (viscoelastic considerations) to reduce the applied stress (thermodynamic considerations). Read more
Sustainable synthesis of nanoparticles in microfluidic devices
Nanotechnology and nanomaterials have greatly impacted the world of science and engineering. The last decades we have witnessed revolutionary developments that unlocked numerous applications in fields like medicine, electronics, aerospace, energy storage and automotive. Read more
Design and synthesis of chemical tools to interrogate G protein-coupled receptors
Research project. We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to join an interdisciplinary team at the University of Otago, to undertake research developing chemical probes for G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Read more
Novel nanoparticle-loaded formulations to enhance the locoregional delivery of anticancer drugs to brain tumours
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest form of primary brain tumour with an extremely poor survival duration of less than 15 months. Read more
Nanocomposites hyper-activity in heterogeneous non-catalytic and catalytic reactions
Understanding how to moderate and improve the performance of adsorbents and catalysts is critical for both basic and applied research. Read more
