Impacts of floating offshore wind Infrastructure on the distribution and behaviour of fish & marine mammals: IFLOW
University of the Highlands and Islands
Environmental Research Institute, North Highland College, Thurso
Moored floating structures associated with offshore wind turbines will expand significantly in scope and extent, including increasing depths and distances from shore. Read more
A compact acoustic system for extracting, size-sorting and identifying microplastics to improve our understanding of their impact on Scottish seas. (EPS2022/47)
Marine microplastic pollution is emerging as a global and critical environmental problem. It is estimated that more than 150 million tonnes have already accumulated in the world’s oceans with more than 12 million tonnes being added each year. Read more
Fully Funded KAUST Discovery Doctoral Fellowship
The King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) with support from the European Science Foundation (ESF) has launched a competitive doctoral fellowship scheme for students from Europe and North America commencing their program of study in 2022. Read more
Aerodynamics and aeroacoustics of multi-rotor propulsion systems
Supervisory Team. Chaitanya Paruchuri, Phillip Joseph and Bharathram Ganapathisubramani. Project description. The PhD student will address directly the major gap in understanding aimed at enabling the design and development of efficient and quiet future multi-rotor propulsion systems. Read more
Data-driven modelling to predict EV kinetic behaviour in disease progression
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are nanoscale particles produced and released by almost all cells to carry a cargo of proteins, metabolites and nucleic acids (Figure). Read more
Aerodynamics and Noise of Next-Generation Distributed Propulsion System
PhD Topic Background/Description. The transportation technology has greatly advanced in the past two decades, leading to rapid development in the area of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), which sees the unmanned aerial vehicles and short-haul electric aircrafts to gradually become an integral part of our daily life.
