PhD in Chemistry: Electrolyzers Implemented with Particle-Stabilized Foams for Green Hydrogen Production by Electrolysis of Contaminated Waters and Wastewaters: EPSRC competitive funded post
Water electrolysis is an effective method to produce green H2 with zero-carbon emission. However, commercial electrolysers use only freshwater that may strain the drinking water supply. Read more
Effects of loneliness on cognition in adolescence
Research Group:
Cognitive Neuroscience
Adolescence (recently defined as the age range between 10-24years) is a particularly sensitive period for development of higher-level cognitive and social skills (Blakemore 2019) and adolescents have been shown to be hypersensitive to social stimuli, both positive and negative (Foulkes 2016).
