(MRC NW-DMS) Electrographic and tear-fluid biomarkers of seizure risk after stroke with cerebral small vessel disease

Stroke is a leading cause of epilepsy in later life, but we cannot yet identify reliably who will develop seizures. Many people with a major stroke also have cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), a common condition linked to hypertension that damages small blood vessels throughout the brain. Read more

[FSE PhD President's Doctoral Scholarship] Geospatial foundation modelling to improve agricultural monitoring in smallholder farming systems

Satellite remote sensing is revolutionising agricultural monitoring. However, smallholder farms - which produce a third of the world's food - remain challenging to monitor using Earth Observation (EO) because fields are small and irregular, cropping diverse and mixed, cloud cover persistent, and reference data scarce.
