Pushing the Resolution Limits of High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Understanding the structural dynamics of complex molecules is vital to advancing our knowledge of materials, medicine and diseases, yet there are few techniques which can capture motions at high enough speeds or resolution to understand the underlying behaviour. Read more
PHD position in aquatic photosynthesis: time-resolved spectroscopy and structural biology
Are you interested to learn the secrets of the aquatic world? This project aims to resolve photoregulation in aquatic photosynthesis using time-resolved spectroscopy and structural biology. Read more
Data-driven structural health monitoring through AI-enhanced stochastic model updating and parametrisation
The department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project (for international students it will be partially funded), expected to commence in October 2022. Read more
Last chance to apply
(EPSRC DTP) A novel HDX-MS platform to investigate the functional dynamics of human solute carriers in native conditions
Solute carriers (SLCs) are the second largest class of membrane-embedded proteins with over 400 members organised into 66 families. Read more
Understanding the structural consequences of ribosome specialisation
Protein synthesis by ribosomes (translation) and its regulation is essential to life. While it has been traditionally thought that ribosomes were not involved in the regulation of translation, it is now becoming clear that they do contribute. Read more
Next Generation High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring at single molecule level. Read more
Kirigami-based energy dissipating devices for seismic protection of structures
Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, can be used to generate complex morphing 3D shapes from a 2D sheet. Children’s pop-up books are a familiar example. Read more
Enhancing the performance, condition, safety and reliability of offshore wind energy infrastructure systems using optimal design, inspections, structural health monitoring and structural control
. Wind turbines are exposed to frequent structural damage increasing the cost of wind energy generation. To drive these costs down, this project will develop new automated methods for detection of structural damage to wind turbines by examining vibration responses measured by sensors attached to the structure. Read more
Artificial intelligence for structural health monitoring of tidal turbines
Tidal turbines could provide over 10% of the UK’s electricity, but issues with reliability and cost are hampering their commercial viability. Read more
Stochastic model updating with novel quantification approaches for multi-source uncertainties in aerospace engineering
The department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project, expected to commence in October 2022. Read more
Seeing photosynthesis at the nanoscale: mapping the properties of light-harvesting membranes by video-speed atomic force and fluorescence microscopy
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Understanding photosynthesis could provide valuable clues for future solar technology and help our understanding of food crops. Read more
Testing a dynamic model of radicalisation in individual and society
The project seeks to address radicalisation, an important societal issue which undermines public safety, wellbeing, and the effective functioning of a society. Read more
The Biophysics of Force Sensing Membrane Proteins by High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
High-speed atomic force microscopy (HS AFM) captures 3D videos of molecules on the nanoscale at rates of up to 20 frames per second in liquid. Read more
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering Methodology Development for Unibody Die Casting of Aluminum Alloy
Unibody die casting of aluminum alloy has attracted considerable attention among the automotive industry recently. To gain wide applications, there are several topics in which further research is needed, such as new alloy development, part geometry distortion, local properties variation, etc. Read more
