Removing organic contaminants from drinking water; testing the effectiveness of a novel water treatment technology
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Although the United Nations General Assembly, through resolution 64/292, explicitly recognized the human right to water and acknowledged that clean drinking water is essential to the realisation of all human rights, still around 663 million people worldwide lack access to an improved water source, making this one of the biggest environmental problems of our time.

Cyber Digital Twin for Clean Water Treatment Systems
Most organisations/companies use bug bounty hunting programs to identify and then fix security vulnerabilities in their systems. Bounty hunters, in return for a reward, address cybersecurity flaws faced by organisations/companies before criminals/state-sponsored hackers exploit them. Read more
Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
A novel, secure, and cross platform Intrusion Detection System for protection of Critical National Infrastructure
Cyberattacks on Critical National Infrastructure (CNI) appear to be growing in occurrence and strength and Operational Technology (OT) networks have gradually become targets of attack for cyber criminals and state-sponsored hackers. Read more
Textile wastewater removal using nanoparticle embedded graphene oxide membrane
Graphene has remarkable hydrophobic properties which are ideal for wastewater treatment. Naturally, Graphene repels water, but allows permeation when there are narrow pores within it. Read more

Maximising resource recovery from wastewater sludge – developing biorefineries PhD
This prestigious EPSRC Doctoral Training Partnership award, co-funded by the industrial partner Severn Trent Water, provides a three-year fully-funded PhD studentship. Read more
Novel biosensors for the detection of the emerging pathogens in water
Research Group:
Engineering
Emerging pathogens in water and air are becoming the new Grand Challenges of our society, they include neglected pathogens like parasites, bacteria with antimicrobial resistance, and new viruses like Covid. Read more
Developing new techniques to identify fugitive methane emissions and their sources
Methane is a major greenhouse gas and so contributes to climate change. Cranfield and SLB are offering an iCASE PhD studentship, developing practical methods to monitor methane emissions from point source emissions such as oil and gas facilities. Read more
Regulation of water and nutrient cycles with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in a changing environment
Reference number. SCEBE-20-002-AGOSF. Aim & Scope. Climate change and population growth are threatening the quality and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems. Read more
Atmospheric transport and orographic rainfall of microplastics
Microplastics are transported in the natural environment by a wide range of processes and as a consequence are found in all environments, from the highest mountains to the deepest oceans, in urban environments and polar ice caps. Read more
Developing a Suite of Models for Integrated Dynamic Simulation of Chemical Process Plant (Digital Twins)
The aim of this PhD is to develop a suite of dynamic models and associated configuration tools that can be integrated to mimic whole process plants. Read more
