Developing the next generation of pedestrian behaviour models for revival of high streets and sustainable transport [Self-Funded Students Only]
Research Group:
Data and Knowledge Engineering
Modelling the behaviour of pedestrians in city centres is of practical importance not only for sustainable transport (reducing reliance on motor vehicles addresses issues of carbon emissions, congestion and health) but also can help inform planning for town centres in a post-COVID world. Read more
Can car sharing schemes work in rural areas of Scotland and can this achieve sustainable transport?
Shared mobility practices such as. Car sharing systems (CSS) are intended to reduce car ownership, reduce the private car fleet, improve mobility, and traffic congestion while offering advantages for drivers such as total cost of ownership (TCO) and flexibility for drivers. Read more
Measuring the impact of Welsh universities sustainable travel plans
The implementation of sustainable transport plans by organisations and companies is one way to contribute to the climate targets set in Net Zero. Read more
Electric Vehicles as a Resilient Resource within Coupled Power and Transport Networks
The increasing penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs) is significantly impacting both power distribution networks and transport networks. Read more
Spatial decision support analysis for sustainable mobility policies.
This PhD project aims to develop a spatial framework to integrate sustainable mobility into current urban transport planning policies. Read more
An innovative energy storage system for micro-grids in developing countries (C3.5-ELE-Gladwin)
Access to reliable and affordable energy is crucial, especially in off-grid regions where conventional power infrastructure is limited. Read more
History, transportation and the marketing and development of Irish destination heritage
Research Group:
Business and Management Studies
Rail history, as linked to tourism, is a niche research field but one that has been under explored. Many destinations today developed as a result of being connected through past rail networks. Read more
Novel interphases for ceramic composites: a high-throughput approach
The Department of Materials at Imperial College London, as part of the new CDT in Materials 4.0, is looking for a candidate to undertake a PhD project in the field of Ceramic Matrix Composites for the next generation of aero-engines and fusion reactors. Read more
Innovative Biopolymer Electrolytes with Enhanced Sodium-Ion Conductivity for Sustainable Battery Solutions (ReNU+24/EE/MCE/XING)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities Plus (ReNU+)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Natural Polymer Textiles & Fibres for Sustainable Fashion Sector PhD
This project aims to manufacture sustainable textiles from renewable/natural polymers such as cellulose, chitin, alginate, chitosan which derived from most abundant natural resources like agricultural biomass and sea food waste (crab shell, shrimp shells etc.). Read more
Mechanisms of dynein-mediated transport of Marek’s Disease Virus
The sustainability of global food production is under threat from the increase in human population, reduced availability of natural resources and climate change. Read more
Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Mapping Hydromorphology and Hydraulic Habitat
Hydromorphology is synonymous with physical habitat in rivers and describes the combination of the morphological and hydrological / hydraulic components of river channels. Read more
Sustainable Fashion Products and Textiles Production Using Environmentally Benign Fibres Manufacturing Process PhD
In the fashion and clothing sector, there is a recent trend toward sustainable, environmental and socially responsible manufactured and grown fibres and materials. Read more
Investigation into the Impact of Material Properties on the Gas Transport Behaviour of Polyolefin Materials
The sustainable use of polymeric materials is underpinned by ensuring long service life in all industries and applications. Understanding durability requires research into the effects of both manufacturing methods and environmental storage conditions on the material properties and performance over time. Read more
Multi-scale material stock-flow modelling of UK rail infrastructure for evidence-informed strategic planning and sustainable asset management (S3.5-MAC-Gillot)
In the UK, heavy and light rail systems are central to national and local connectivity. This sees rail transport make an annual contribution of over £36bn to the UK economy and have significant influence over land use patterns. Read more
