EPSRC/BAE Systems INDUSTRIAL CASE PhD Studentship - “Mitigation of Reinforcement Learning Algorithms in Changing Environments”
The development of (deep) Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms to train agents within game environments is well known. Agent training is typically conducted against a known, simplified, or constrained environment. Read more
CRISPR-activation therapy for macular disease
Inherited macular dystrophies (MDs) are genetically heterogeneous making a single therapeutic approach difficult. Given the limited therapeutic options there is a critical need for additional therapies, especially ones that are widely applicable. Read more
MPhil Investigation of the factors that lead to variability in results when testing Antiviral disinfectants under European hygiene standards (EN 14476 & EN 16777).
As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic the desired performance of biocidal products for hygienic cleaning e.g. surfaces, hand disinfectants has shifted and claims that viruses are destroyed have become essential commercially. Read more
Integral valorisation of waste biomass to obtain bioactive compounds and furans
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
The project. The biorefinery concept has been gaining momentum in the last years as many countries have adopted policies and national strategies to steer towards a biobased economy. Read more
Enhancing Quality of Life through Behaviour Change: Design of an intervention
Quality of life (QoL) has been defined as “an individual's perception of their position in life in the context of the culture and value systems in which they live and in relation to their goals, expectations, standards and concerns.” (WHOQoL, 1994). Read more
Mechanisms of metabolic remodelling in obesogenic/diabetic cardiomyopathy
Obesity is a worldwide public health concern and is one of the co-morbidities associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. Read more
Computational modelling of children’s language development
The aim of this project is to build a cutting-edge but psychologically plausible computational model of children’s language acquisition and development, focussing on either syntax or morphology. Read more
Regulatory roles for ribosome-associated proteins in protein synthesis
Protein synthesis is a highly-conserved, dynamic and tightly controlled process that is central to the activity of all cells. All phases of translation can be controlled. Read more
Geological Fate and Impact of Isosaccharinic acid (Geo-FISA)
About the Project. The nuclear fuel cycle has generated higher-level radioactive wastes that will be disposed of in a deep geological facility (GDF) that will provide multiple barriers to the migration of radionuclides to the surface over prolonged timescales (tens of thousands of years). Read more
Towards particle design of pharmaceutical crystals
This project is being pursued in collaboration with AstraZeneca and the successful applicant will be part of a larger research group supervised by Dr Cruz-Cabeza and Dr Ashwin Rajagopalan. Read more
Modelling and Experiments on Subsurface Engineering Applications
Porous media research has a very wide range of applications such as subsurface energy. Read more
Membrane based technology to intensify the sustainable production of chemicals
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
Project Description. In the context of net-zero and the current scenario of depleting fossil resources, glycerol from biodiesel is a widely generated by-product. Read more
Hierarchical porous architectures for catalytic cascade reactions
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
Development of anti-permeation coatings for tritium facing materials for fusion (GREENCDT)
This project will primarily be based at The University of Sheffield. Commercial fusion devices will use radioactive tritium as a fuel source. Read more
