Our Sun, the Astrophysical Particle Accelerator
Our Sun’s outer atmosphere is extremely unstable. Frequent explosions occur in the atmosphere of the Sun with enough energy to power the Earth for… Read more
Solar Orbiter: Studies of the Origins and Dynamics of the Solar Wind Charged Particle Populations
UCL/MSSL is the Principal Investigator (PI) Institute on an international consortium providing the Solar Wind Analyser suite (SWA) of instruments for the ESA Solar Orbiter mission. Using 3 scientific sensors, SWA is able to sample electron, proton, alpha particle and heavy ion populations at various distances down to 0.28 AU from the Sun (i.e. Read more
Virology: Sun exposure as a novel risk factor for Zika virus infection
Mosquito-borne disease is now receiving unprecedented attention due to major outbreaks in new geographic areas including Brazil, Mexico, India, China, the Middle East and SE Asia. Read more
Behaviour and design of aluminium alloy structural elements after exposure to fire
Aluminium alloys have been increasingly used in construction sector due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance and excellent appearance. Read more
Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere
The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.

Sunlight and skin type: exploring the vitamin D status of the black-skinned population in UK
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Vitamin D is necessary for calcium homeostasis, and thus a healthy musculoskeletal system. It is also implicated in contributing to defences against a range of other ailments including autoimmune diseases, respiratory tract infections and cancers. Read more
The Many Influences on Comets’ Tails
Comets’ icy nuclei, typically measuring only a few kilometres across, carry invaluable information on the origins of our Solar System. Read more
Observing the Sun as a star
The Sun is the only star we know for sure has no orbiting planets in the data - since we can remove them perfectly. That makes it the perfect star to study and eventually aid the search for small planets orbiting other stars. Read more
Observations and methods to characterise small planets around Sun-like stars
Finding and characterising planets like Earth are hindered by variable signals from the star itself. Especially in radial velocity data, essential to measure a planet's mass, these signals are often larger than the planet signals. Read more
Study on Treatment of onychomycosis with soluble microneedles loaded with Terbinafine nanogels
Supervisors. Principal supervisor. Professor/Dr Jie Sun (XJTLU). Co-supervisor. Professor/Dr Yongyou Li...(JITRI). Co-supervisor. Read more
Coronal genealogy: the evolution of high-energy emission from low-mass stars
This PhD project will use models and observations of forming low-mass stars to shed light on the history and evolution of Sun-like stars. Read more
Design and Synthesis of novel analogues of Hipposudoric Acid for therapeutic use
Research into novel antimicrobial agents has never been more pressing with the ever-increasing resistance towards traditional medications. Read more
Biomarker development for intervention studies in aging
Human longevity has increased through improved nutrition, sanitation and healthcare in the last century. Research for extending the human lifespan has recently sped up and the first drug candidates have entered clinical trials. Read more
Microstructural evolution and its relationship to properties of spray formed high performance aluminum alloys during thermomechanical process
The advanced spray forming is a type of fast solidification technology, resulting in uniform microstructure of the materials, which has some difference from the traditional melting solidification process. Read more
Asteroseismic probes of stellar activity cycles
Using data from the NASA Kepler and TESS missions, this project will use subtle changes to the properties of stellar oscillations to explore the stellar cycle properties of Sun-like stars and more evolved sub-giants. Read more
