Applying novel imaging methods and machine learning techniques to advance in-vivo knee biomechanics analysis

3 years full time start date July/October 2024. Project Summary. This is an opportunity to work on an exciting project focussed on machine learning applied to in-vivo knee biomechanics working with Cardiff University, Imperial College, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven and University of Florida. Read more

A 3D-Printed Blood-Brain-Barrier-on-a-Chip for Agrochemical Permeability Studies – CASE Studentship

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) tightly regulates the flow of material between the bloodstream and the brain. One of the big problems faced by a range of sectors, from pharmaceuticals to agrochemicals, is understanding how compounds interact with and cross this barrier. Read more

Design, synthesis and evaluation of novel polysialyltransferase inhibitors as anti- metastatic agents

  Research Group: Institute of Cancer Therapeutics
Polysialic acid plays an essential role in neuronal development, but by adulthood is absent from the human body. Its biosynthesis is regulated by two polysialyltransferases (polySTs). Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration). Read more

Non-linear cochlear mechanics: Models and measurements

Supervisory Team.   Ben Lineton. Project description. The mechanical response of the cochlea to sound exhibits an intriguing array of different non-linear phenomena, involving interactions across time and frequency. Read more

Enzyme-responsive peptide hydrogels as in situ forming long-acting drug delivery implants

One of the key issues in the treatment and prevention of disease is that patients struggle to adhere to the complex dosage regimens of therapies, which often require multiple dosing at very specific times each day. Read more

Developing an ingenious hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing route for producing biomedical implants via metal AM processes and laser post-processing

3 Year Self funded project. This PhD project will ignite an exciting new research area involving hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing (AM-SM) routes for the fabrication of biomedical implants economically to meet the growing demand of biomedical industries. Read more

Brain-inspired See-Think-Act Intelligent Machines

There is an ongoing revolution in developing autonomous intelligence machines to greatly improve the effectiveness and efficiency of sensory perception, decision-making, and active control. Read more

Adaptive Signal Processing for Dynamic Environments

In recent years the cost of many sensors has decreased, which combined with increased ease of use has led to a vast increase in the number of sensors being employed to measure increasingly complex environments. Read more
