Comfort, control and safety: Developing a decarbonisation strategy for public CLASP buildings in Nottinghamshire
About the project. Nottinghamshire County Council (NottsCC) recently launched its 2024 Net Zero Framework, which sets out how the council will become net zero by 2030. Read more
Valorisation of sewage sludge through phosphate-based geopolymer production (FES-PhD-2425-06)
Are you interested in contributing to net zero by creating environmentally friendly cementitious systems from unconventional materials? If yes, then why not consider this project?. Read more
Ponds for Wildlife and People: Quantifying Opportunities for Wetland Creation in Agricultural Landscapes
The University of Manchester
Faculty of Humanities Doctoral Academy, School of Environment, Education and Development
Freshwater wetlands are the most biodiverse habitats on earth and are losing species faster than their marine or terrestrial counterparts. Read more
Dynamic facades and climate adaptive building envelopes
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Over 30% of global final energy consumption and CO2 emissions can be attributed to residential and commercial sector buildings. To achieve Net/Near-Zero Energy Building commitments, building envelopes using adaptive/dynamic technologies will be instrumental in reducing energy consumption. Read more
GIF CDT: Life cycle assessment of future low carbon, circular industrial products
This advert will close once a suitable candidate has been found. This PhD is one of a number of projects hosted by the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures (CDT-GIF). Read more
Investigating the cognitive ecology of the European nightjar
Background. This project aims to use new, state-of-the-art tracking technology to track at very high resolution the movements of first-time and experienced breeding nightjars from shortly after they arrive from migration. Read more
Leverhulme Trust funded PhD in Nature Inspired Acoustics 2025/2026
We are offering up to 7, 4-year PhD studentships in 2025/26 to talented, ambitious UK, EU and other International applicants. Studentships provide full tuitions fee, and a stipend of £19,795 per year. Read more
Single Electricity Market under net-zero energy system
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Are you driven to solve real-world energy challenges? Join this fully funded PhD project in collaboration with SONI Ltdand EirGrid plc, leading Transmission System Operators for Northern Ireland and Ireland. Read more
Data-Knowledge Integrated AI Decision Framework for Optimizing IoT Connected Building Assets
Research Group:
Computing
Climate change necessitates improved energy efficiency. Refrigeration in the retail sector and in building air conditioning systems is a major energy consumer. Read more
Assessing the potential for aerosol transmission of zoonoses within critical environments
Zoonoses with the potential to cause pandemics face two fundamental obstacles. The first is transfer between species boundaries, from reservoirs to immunologically naïve new hosts, and the second is efficient transmission between members of the new host population. Read more
Dynamic external shading for enhanced visual and thermal comfort in schools (Ref: ABCE25/SA)
School buildings must be adapted to provide an indoor environment conducive to learning for children in a warming climate. External shading is a cost-effective solution that can improve thermal comfort in buildings, but may reduce daylighting for children to study by or increase wintertime heating demand. Read more
Intelligent circularity prediction for building deconstruction (Ref: ABCE25/SY)
Buildings consume large amounts of resources and have high tendencies of producing waste at the end-of-life stage. With the rising demand for sustainable buildings, efficient resource utilization has been a key issue for the construction industry to slow and narrow resources used for buildings. Read more
Investigation of the maximum allowable mud pressure during Horizontal Directional Drilling (Ref: ABCE25/HL)
Excessive mud pressure can endanger stability of horizontal boreholes and the success of drilling and reaming processes during Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) which is one of most important pipe installation methods using in Trenchless Technology. Read more
Rapid strength assessment of re-used structural steel using laser speckle interferometry (Ref: ABCE25/FM)
Reusing structural steel reclaimed from demolition offers a significant opportunity to reduce carbon emissions, with potential savings of up to 95% compared to new steel production. Read more
Reconciling the Semiotics of Value in Construction as a New Axiological Foundation for Safe Project Management in the Post-Grenfell Era (Ref: ABCE25/CG)
The Grenfell Tower tragedy was a stark reminder of the consequences of a distorted understanding of value in the construction industry. Read more
