The causes of speciation rate variation in nature
The project. Rates of species formation vary dramatically across the tree of life and contribute to profound differences in species richness among clades, regions and through time. Read more
GREENCDT Actinide Colloid behaviour in alkaline conditions: Implications for Radioactive Effluent Treatment Processes.
Supervisors. Prof. Sam Shaw. Prof. Kath Morris. Dr Tom Neill. Globally, engineered ‘ponds and silos’ are used for storage of spent nuclear fuels. Read more
Tritium removal from molten salt media in nuclear fusion and fission processes
Molten salt technologies are likely to be key components in future nuclear fuel cycles [1-3] and are of interest as coolants in fusion reactors as well as energy storage media to support solar power generation. Read more
Molten salt – metal interactions and their influence on thermomechanical properties of metals used in next generation molten salt energy systems
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Materials are critical for delivering low-carbon electricity from renewable and low carbon power that includes Solar and nuclear thermal energies; technologies that underpin the UK’s commitment to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Read more
Detection of Pathogens Using Bionanosensors combined with Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)
Rapid detection of bacteria is crucial for the health of the general public as the threat of infectious disease is dramatically increasing. Read more

Understanding radionuclide behaviour at the plant-soil interface to direct bioremediation strategies for contaminated land
This PhD project will use plant biology, microbiology, soil geochemistry, and radiochemistry approaches to investigate the role that plants and associated microorganisms can play in managing and potentially decontaminating radioactive contaminated land, such as by ‘phytoremediation’. Read more
The Characterisation of Carbon Deposits using Modern Surface Science and Bulk property Analytical Techniques.
Impact of the project. Your work will allow plant-derived fuels to be used to power heavy motor vehicles that cannot easily be run on electricity, massively reducing their CO2 emissions. . Read more
Synthetic transition metal catalysts for the treatment of cancer
Working the interfaces of chemical catalysis, analytical chemistry, cellular biology, pharmacology and medicine, this project provides unique interdisciplinary training in the skills required for the development of a pre-clinical metal-based therapy. Read more
Molecular genetic characterization of Drosophila reproductive behaviours for exploitation in insect population control
Research Group:
BBSRC MIBTP
Female reproductive behaviours in most insects profoundly change after mating leading to rejection of courting males and induction of egg laying. Read more
Evolution of ecological and species diversity in freshwater fishes
Ecological, morphological and evolutionary diversification among sympatric individuals often reflects divergent selective pressures along environmental gradients. Read more
