Thin film - perovskite tandem structures (RENU23-R/EE/MPEE/BARRIOZ)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
Development of a novel biocomposite-integrated thin film reactor for the intensification of biosolar energy-driven gas clean-up processing
This proposed project seeks to establish an entirely new, scalable, solar energy driven microbial gas absorber technology by a novel combination of advanced photoreactive biocomposite materials, experimental thin film absorber design and modelling approaches. Read more
Deposition of novel transparent conducting thin films with unusual optoelectronic properties
Supervisory Team. Dr Geoffrey Hyett, Professor Gill Reid. Project description. A fully-funded 3.5 year PhD studentship in materials chemistry at the University of Southampton is available under the supervision of Dr Geoffrey Hyett and Prof Gill Reid is a collaboration with Pilkington NSG. Read more
Automated control system for sample preparation
Project Code. EPSRC_2023_11. Project Introduction. Cryoelectron microscopy is a technique for investigating biological and other unstable samples by immobilising them in a thin film of ice for electron microscopic imaging and analysis. Read more
The physics of polymer glasses in confined geometries and in the bulk
The formation and behaviour of glassy disordered non-equilibrium solids is one of the deepest unsolved questions in physics, as demonstrated by the seminal contributions to the problem by the 2021 Nobel laureate in physics, Giorgio Parisi. Read more

Discovery of new optoelectronic materials for coatings on glass towards net zero technologies.
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the discovery of new materials as coatings on glass. This project aims to develop new materials for optoelectronic applications on glass to contribute to the net zero agenda. Read more
Discovery of new oxide ceramic materials
New inorganic materials are needed to advance technology and to develop our basic scientific understanding of the connection between chemical composition, crystal structure and physical properties. Read more
Experimental Discovery of New Inorganic Materials with Unique Crystal Structures
The properties of inorganic materials are determined by their crystal structures, and there are often a select few structural families which dominate the application areas for particular properties which can limit performance development. Read more
Toward Li Metal Battery: Operando Observation on Solid-state Electrolyte and High-Voltage Cathode
This project is part of a 4 year Dual PhD degree programme between the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan and the University of Liverpool in England. Read more
Detection of Environmental Pollutants Produced by Petrochemical Plants
Common environmental pollutants produced by petrochemical plants include volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene. Read more
Strong light-matter interaction in van der Waals 2D materials: discovery of novel quantum states of the matter
The isolation of single-atomic layer graphene has led to a surge of interest in a large family of layered crystals with strong in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interlayer coupling. Read more
Pollard Institute: Topological insulator plasmonics
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Topological insulators (TIs) are a recently discovered new type of material. Although their bulk is insulating, they have highly conductive surface states that are almost free from scattering even at room temperature, through a process known as topological protection. Read more
Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) for manufacture of miniature bespoke metallic structures for micro-surgical applications
Within the Applied Optics and Photonics Group at Heriot-Watt there is ongoing research focused on the manufacture of functionally graded shape memory alloys, using Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT), a flexible “direct write” process that allows materials to be controllably deposited at the microscale. Read more
Optical nano-imaging and nano-spectroscopy in quantum materials
Many processes occurring on the nanoscale are fundamental for functional light-sensitive and light-driven systems that we encounter and apply in nanomaterials, optoelectronics and quantum nanophotonics, artificial photosynthesis, antimicrobial resistance and many other cutting-edge areas from quantum technologies to healthcare.
