Can biophotonics help prevent spontaneous pre-term birth?

Spontaneous pre-term birth (sPTB) costs the UK NHS over £1billion annually and is a major cause of disability in the young. Babies that are born before the normal 38 weeks of gestation must spend the first weeks or months of their lives being kept alive artificially in incubators. Read more

Search for new physics with LHC data and developing ultra-fast silicon detectors

We have one fully-funded place for a new PhD student to join our LHCb team, working in the particle physics group at the University of Birmingham, exploring the latest LHC data collected with the LHCb experiment. Read more

Searching for exotics signatures (Dark Matter/Extra Dimensions)

The long-established RHUL ATLAS group is renowned for its expertise in physics (Higgs, top quark and exotic signatures involving electrons), statistical methods and plays a leading role internationally in the ATLAS trigger and data acquisition systems. Read more

Social robots for Care: Exploring context awareness mechanisms for human-centred robot interactions

  Research Group: Cybersecurity, Privacy and HCC Research Section
About the Project. Unpaid carers provide non-medical care to people who suffer from long-term diseases or disabilities. This role is highly demanding, causing a multidimensional impact on the caregiver's life. Read more

Cardiotoxicity of Anticancer Drugs

Faculty of Pharmacy, Charles University, Department of Biochemical Sciences. The project fits into the field of cardio-oncology, which deals with the detection, prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases that occur as a side effect of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Read more

Investigating Nanoscale Network Polymer Degradation

  Research Group: Polymers and Composites
Network polymers are widely deployed as the matrix in structural composites and high-performance pigmented protective coatings. Surprisingly however, many fundamental aspects of how the properties and structure of these materials degrade upon exposure to the environment remains unknown. Read more

Unlocking the Future of High-Capacity Ground-to-Satellite Communications

Supervisory Team: Dr. Kyle Bottrill, Dr. Yongmin Jung, and Prof. Periklis Petropoulos . Project Description. High-capacity ground-to-satellite communications have long relied on microwaves for data transmission, as they have since the very first communications satellites were launched. Read more

Phased array fibre lasers with machine learning

Supervisory Team: Prof Johan Nilsson, Dr William Kerridge-Johns. Project description. This project combines state of the art optical fibre laser amplifiers with machine learning control to produce next-generation lasers. Read more

MSc by Research: Molecular Analysis of Nuclear Bodies and RNP Trafficking Pathways in the Cell Nucleus

Many important processes within mammalian cells are compartmentalised within specific subcellular structures. In the cell nucleus, Nuclear Bodies (NBs), such as nucleoli, provide specialised compartments that are not surrounded by membranes, but still concentrate specific proteins and RNAs. Read more

MSc by Research: Using genome editing to study the mechanisms of immune cell proliferation and differentiation

T lymphocytes mediate long-term adaptive immunity to viruses and tumour cells. T lymphocytes recognize foreign antigens via specific interactions with the T cell receptor (TCR) that is expressed on the cell surface. Read more

4-year PhD Studentship: Assessing long-lasting pain following hot-iron disbudding in dairy calves

Although freedom from pain is a key pillar of animal welfare, painful procedures are still common on most dairy farms. For instance, despite being painful1, hot-iron disbudding is still performed on the vast majority of calves. Read more

Wearable multimodal sensors at loaded body interfaces to assist remote healthcare

Supervisory Team.   Professor Liudi Jiang. Project description. Millions of people globally suffer from various physiological disorders and thus require long term sometimes lifelong rehabilitation and care. Read more

Integrated omics approach to psychiatric disorders

  Research Group: Chemistry and Biosciences
In psychiatry, the selection of antipsychotics and antidepressants is led by a trial-and-error approach. The prescribing of these medications is complicated by sub-optimal efficacy and high rates of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Read more

Searching for Lepton Flavour Violation using top quark events in the ATLAS detector at the LHC

The long-established RHUL ATLAS group is renowned for its expertise in physics (Higgs, top quark and exotic signatures involving electrons), statistical methods as well as trigger and data acquisition systems. Read more
