4D multiscale characterization of the hydromechanical behaviour of clay rich rocks – understating the engineered barrier-natural system interface for GDF
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Any GDF system will be located in a highly complex geological host lithology that will have multiple units each with different mechanical, thermal, compositional properties and different permeabilities. Read more
Valorisation of sewage sludge through phosphate-based geopolymer production (FES-PhD-2425-06)
Are you interested in contributing to net zero by creating environmentally friendly cementitious systems from unconventional materials? If yes, then why not consider this project?. Read more
Biological self-healing for sustainable construction
Biological processes, such as biomineralization, have been explored for consolidating porous materials and as a new class of self-healing cement-based building materials. Read more
Capturing and disseminating value: a design-based impact and evaluation playbook for community-based organisations
Community-based organisations play an important role in the development and regeneration of local places, helping deliver much-needed community services, and empowering local residents to take action to improve their lives and the quality of the places around them. Read more
Virtual Reality-based Decision Support System For Change Detection in Forest Environment Using Drone-based Digital Twin
Why is this research important?. Forests are vital natural resources for human life and wildlife, as they protect biodiversity, provide multiple pivotal ecosystem services, and help mitigate the impacts of global warming. Read more
