Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more
Compact and responsive sorption thermal energy storages: material development, experimental characterisation and modelling
Thermal energy storages (TES) can be used in a wide range of applications including space heating & cooling and industrial processes. Read more
Thermal Energy Storage for Sustainable Agri-Food Systems
Post-harvest food loss diminishes agricultural productivity, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and is a major threat to national food security. Read more

PhD Studentship in Development of Light-Responsive Materials for Sustainable Urban Design
Lancaster University’s new institute focusing on sustainability welcomes applications for two 3.5-year PhD studentships, funded by EPSRC (current stipend at £17668 per year). Read more
Material degradation study of energy storage materials for renewable technologies PhD
This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation details in extreme environments. Read more
From shallow geothermal energy systems to our buildings: The role of thermal conductivity for heat transfer and energy efficiency
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-MS. Space heating and cooling currently makes up the world's largest energy sector, accounting for approximately 50% of the final energy consumption. This figure is expected to grow rapidly over the coming decades due to economic and population growth, and inevitable increase in urbanisation. Read more
Laser Imaging of Potassium in Biomass Thermal Processing
Biomass is increasingly important as a source of renewable energy and in chemical synthesis. Biomass includes agricultural and forestry waste. Read more
Heat transfer performance of nanocomposite energy material in the presence of thermal radiation.
The British Net Zero Strategy published in 2021 states that 'By 2035, the UK will be powered entirely by clean energy.' The 2050 ambition of the UK government's British Energy Security Strategy published in April 2022 is as follows. Read more
