Energy resolved-backscatter X-ray imaging for safety inspection and asset assessment in nuclear decommissioning
Globally there are many legacy nuclear estates – often built decades ago without consideration for their eventual fate – which are now undergoing nuclear decommissioning and remediation to return the sites to normal use. Read more
Construction of a prototype ultra-high-vacuum compatible compact X ray monochromator for use in X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy
X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is the primary technique employed to determine the chemical composition and chemical state of material surfaces, with an analysis depth of approximately 5 nm. Read more
Enhanced AM Processing Using Time Resolved 4D X-ray Computed Tomography
Supervisory Team: Mark Mavrogordato, Thomas Blumensath, Andrew Hamilton. Project description. Read more
Investigation of pharmaceutical crystallisation using small angle x-ray scattering
Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) offers various ways to characterize nanoscale structures of pharmaceutical crystal and large molecules. Read more
Clean energy – removing dependency on fossil fuels and improving the chemical safety case for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste.
Nuclear energy is a zero emission clean energy source with one of the smallest carbon footprints which produces more electricity on less land than any other clean energy source, such as windfarms. Read more
Mapping the climate systems and the evaporation of exoplanet atmospheres
We invite applications from outstanding and highly motivated students for the Warwick Prize Scholarships in Astrophysics. The successful applicant will work with Prof. Read more

Advanced characterisation of hydroceramics – Improving the safety case for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste
Nuclear energy provides almost a fifth of the UK’s electricity, generating waste that needs to be managed for safe, long term storage. Read more
PhD studentship in in situ imaging and diffraction of dual-phase zeolite composites for nuclear waste remediation.
Applications are sought for a PhD project under the supervision of Dr Phoebe Allan at the University of Birmingham, Dr Sharif Ahmed and Dr Joe Hriljac at Diamond Light Source, and Dr Tom Carey at the National Nuclear Laboratory. Read more
Fragment-Based Lead Generation of Small Molecule Inhibitors of the Nsp3 Macrodomain in SARS-CoV-2
Background. Coronaviruses (CoVs) are important human pathogens and SARS-CoV-2 is responsible for the current COVID-19 pandemic. Read more
New materials for solar cells
We have a vacancy for a PhD student to work on the synthesis and characterisation of new materials for solar cells. Hybrid lead halide perovskites are attracting considerable interest due to their potential as photovoltaic materials for solar cells with very high efficiencies. 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
