Understanding the biological role of the i-motif

University of Reading
School of Pharmacy
The DNA i-motif is an important biological target which has recently been shown to form inside the nucleus of human cells.

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach

University of Birmingham
School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

Understanding and intervening in young driver road safety

University of Sheffield
School of Psychology
Newly-qualified drivers are the most likely drivers on the road to be involved in crashes. This is likely to reflect a combination of insufficient driving skill and deliberately choosing a risky driving style (e.g., speeding, dangerous overtaking). Read more
