[School of Engineering PhD Scholarships] Integrated Climate-Impact Design and Lifecycle Assessment of Next-Generation Technologies for Net-Zero Aviation by 2050

The University of Manchester
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
Aviation currently contributes around 3.5% of human-caused radiative forcing, and non-CO2 effects – including contrails, nitrogen oxides, soot and water vapour – account for roughly two-thirds of that impact. Read more

Investigating neurodevelopmental disorders caused by defects in the protein synthesis machinery

The University of Manchester
Division of Neuroscience
  Research Group: Division of Neuroscience
Background. Translation of mRNA into proteins is a critical cellular process for normal development and function. An increasing number of genetic disorders caused by variants in genes encoding translation factors are now known. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Complex dynamics: Dynamics of analytic finite-type maps

The University of Manchester
Department of Mathematics
A dynamical system is a system that changes over time. Such a system may be described by a set of possible states of the system, together with a transition rule, which determines how the system changes from one state to the next. Read more

(MCRC Clinical) Tissue mechanics as regulator of therapy resistance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)

The University of Manchester
Division of Cancer Sciences
Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma is a treatment recalcitrant tumour, driven by activation of the proto-oncogene KRAS. Recent development and clinical testing of KRAS inhibitors has demonstrated clinical benefits in second-line pre-treated patients, however development of resistance and disease progression is inevitable.

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Geophysical fluid mechanics: Modelling debris flows

The University of Manchester
Department of Mathematics
Debris flows are complex mixtures of water, boulders, rock, soil, wood, etc, that develop on steep slopes and travel long distances, destroying houses, roads, railways and other infrastructure, as well as killing people that are caught up in them. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] The influence of nonlinear behaviour between different models of fluid flows

The University of Manchester
Department of Mathematics
Many problems in fluid mechanics can be investigated by using reduced models. In recent years, the trend has been to use neural networks or other model reduction techniques to learn solutions from high-resolution computations of the full-field equations, e.g. Read more
