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
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
Reimagining Architecture in the Face of Climate Breakdown: A Critical Exploration of Sustainability Discourses and Extractive Practices (Ref: ABCE25/CG)
Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is our present reality, demanding radical shifts in how we conceive and practice architecture. Read more
Structural robust optimisation of tall timber buildings (Ref: ABCE25/AJ)
Environmental concerns, combined with modern manufacturing technologies and prefabrication allow to produce timber building components with exceptional mechanical capabilities, which have enabled engineers to design and build larger and taller buildings than ever before. Read more
Exploring the value of public health amenities and assets in creating healthy, sustainable, attractive built environments in addressing public health inequalities, social barriers and urban decline.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Public toilets play a key role in ensuring public health and wellbeing through infectious disease prevention and control. Read more
GenZ and GenAI : Assessing the potential benefits and limitations of using Generative AI tools in tertiary education in Built Environment courses.
Research Group:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is dramatically disrupting traditional patterns of teaching, learning and assessment in tertiary education. Read more
Fire Dynamics, Material Flammability and Computer Modelling of Fire Phenomena
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Fire dynamics and material flammability are important research areas within fire safety engineering (FSE) in identifying and understanding the mechanisms related to the degradation, ignition and burning of materials and subsequent the fire spread and development with the ultimate goal to improve fire safety (people and structure) in buildings and other spaces.

A Biophilic design approach to UN SDG 3 and Trauma Informed Design
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This PhD will contrast the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing (UN SDG 3) with Biophilic, Trauma Informed Design (TID). Read more
Revealing the potential of Hidden Heritage Architecure: An investigation of how the adaptive reuse of forgotten heritage buildings can catalyse urban regeneration and provide community benefit.
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This PhD investigates an important but fundamentally overlooked aspect of urban regeneration practice in Northern Ireland – the underuse and dilapidation of a plethora of historic buildings currently sitting beyond use. Read more
A Digital Human-Asset Twin of Twins architecture for Buildings
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
In Built Environment, Digital Twins (DTs) research show how the digital imitation of buildings and infrastructures can be used to simulate performance, test operational scenarios and remotely control the physical asset across its life cycle. Read more
