De-novo palladium-containing enzymes
Background. This project will be carried out in collaboration with Johnson-Matthey. Metalloenzymes are critical for catalyzing a wide range of biochemical transformations, including biomass degradation. Read more
Harnessing Organometallic Catalysis to Optimise Clinical Diagnostics using Hyperpolarisation.
Background The use of magnetically aligned probes (hyperpolarisation) has become a widely-recognised approach for enhancing the detection of biochemical markers associated with diseases using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and offers significant potential to improve clinical diagnostics.

Unravelling past dryland hydroclimate (RS25/EE/GES/MARKOWSKA)
Our planet's drylands are at the centre of an intriguing climate mystery. These regions, which cover nearly half of Earth's land surface and support 2 billion people, are predicted to expand significantly as our planet warms. Read more
Developing novel materials for slow and zero-order release of insect pest attractants
Do you want to develop innovative solutions for horticultural pest control areas? We are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate in materials chemistry to join our project on developing novel materials for slow and zero-order release of insect pest attractants. Read more

Self-Sensing Substrates for High-Throughput Antibiotic Discovery
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the greatest threats facing humanity. In 2019, 5 million deaths were attributed to AMR, and it is projected to kill 10+ million per year by 2050. Read more

New advances in porous materials characterisation using low-field NMR
Porous materials are employed across chemical, energy and environmental applications as diverse as catalysis, separations, hydrogen storage and battery development; however, understanding – and hence optimising – the behaviour of fluids within these structures remains highly challenging due to their optically opaque nature, and through the dominance of buried solid-fluid interfaces.

Integrating CO2 capture and utilisation using dual functional materials and efficient induction heating
Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) and renewable energy utilisation are the two pillars for the decarbonisation of UK’s industrial clusters, which produce more than 36Mt CO2 per year, mostly through the flue gas from energy intensive sectors such as refining, cement, chemicals, etc. Read more
Photocatalytic Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Renewable Chemicals and Fuels
Achievement of Net Zero in chemicals and fuels industries is crucial for mitigation of climate change effect and it is dependent on development and implementation of efficient technologies for CO. Read more

Chemical modification of mRNA for enhanced translation
mRNA vaccines have emerged as a new modality for preventing infectious diseases and treating cancer. This is due to their ability to rapidly produce specific proteins inside cells in a programmable manner. Read more
Non-contact measurements of thin catalytic membranes with ultrasonics
Roll-to-roll (R2R) manufacturing is essential for large-scale production of thin membranes needed for green hydrogen and electric batteries. Read more
Towards in silico selection of interfacial actives: Discovery of new corrosion inhibitors for high value coating formulations
The goal is to discover new corrosion inhibitors that can be added to coatings for protection of metallic infrastructure. Initially, you will quantify two key performance indicators for candidate molecules, i.e., corrosion reduction and diffusion through the coating matrix. Read more
