This project will investigate the early age cracking behaviour of Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC). Large scale experiments are planned to investigate the cracking behaviour of restrained slab elements containing various amount of fibre reinforcement. Read more
Fibre reinforced concrete is characterised by its post cracking strength. Determining these properties can be subject to a high degree of scatter which may otherwise lead to low characteristic values which may be adopted in design. Read more
Granular materials, dense suspensions and slurries play a critical role in nearly all aspects of the clean energy transition. This includes the mining and processing of the raw materials (e.g. Read more
A PhD student position is potentially available (depending on funding availability) in as early as Spring 2025 or Fall 2025 semester at the City College of New York (CCNY) of the City University of New York (CUNY). Read more
Description. Background – Water will likely become the gold of the 21st century due to its central role to life, health, and economic growth and its increasing scarcity. Read more
Overview. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD scholarship that will advance the field of operational contrail mitigation by combining the latest science on contrails with state-of-the-art contrail forecasting tools, ATC procedures and systems to produce an end-to-end concept of operations (CONOPS).

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
Supervisory Team. Dr. Jie Yuan, Dr. David Toal. Project description. Robust design is crucial to ensure the durability and reliability of aerospace components throughout their entire life cycle due to the variations arising from geometry, material properties and loads during the long-term operation.
