Exploring the impacts of human factors on carbon emissions in sustainable buildings (RDF25/EE/ABE/GOH)
The project will examine and explore the key human factors affecting the performance of sustainable buildings and assess how human factors impact the whole-life carbon emissions of sustainable buildings. Read more
A Biophilic design approach to UN SDG 3 and Trauma Informed Design
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This PhD will contrast the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal, 3 – Good Health and Wellbeing (UN SDG 3) with Biophilic, Trauma Informed Design (TID). Read more
AI for Sustainability Policy Appraisal
PhD opportunity to advance AI-driven sustainability policy. Analyse energy usage data to design adaptive incentives and effective policies promoting green energy adoption. Read more
Leverhulme Doctoral Programme for Regenerative Innovation (Regnr8-i): RENEW-AR – Regenerative Ecosystem Narratives and Education with Augmented Reality
This project will enhance public understanding of regenerative innovation and climate change adaptation by co-designing and developing an augmented reality platform that links geolocated plant data to interactive narratives about ecosystem regeneration. Read more
Hydrogen-Powered Heating: Achieving Net Zero with Safe and Sustainable Homes
Project ID. SS_12. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. Hydrogen is a zero-carbon alternative to natural gas and plays a key role in the UK government’s plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Read more
Operationalising Justice in Energy Infrastructure
This PhD project aims to design, apply and validate a tool to embed justice concepts into energy and energy-water infrastructure design. Read more
Next-generation low-carbon cement wasteforms for safe disposal of radioactive waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear power provides 20% of UK energy demand, and is central to UK Energy Security and Net Zero policies, however, it also generates significant amounts of radioactive waste. Read more
Reimagining Architecture in the Face of Climate Breakdown: A Critical Exploration of Sustainability Discourses and Extractive Practices (Ref: ABCE25/CG)
Climate change is no longer a distant threat; it is our present reality, demanding radical shifts in how we conceive and practice architecture. Read more
Towards a holistic understanding of carbonate mineralisation controls
Calcium-carbonates (CaCO. 3. ) are climate-controlling minerals, acting as long-term sinks in the biogeochemical carbon cycle, and playing the role of stable carbon stores in many carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies. Read more
World-Leading Scholarship in Geography, Earth Sciences and Computer Science: Unlocking Earth’s volcanic record with novel computer vision approaches
The University of St Andrews is pleased to offer a full 3.5 year PhD scholarship funded by St Leonard's Postgraduate College, to support an exceptional student to start in September/October 2025 or January 2026. Read more
AI for adaptive gene networks over plant evolution
Humanity will need to engineer plants to withstand climate change and boost yield to feed an ever-expanding population. Moreover, the process of engineering better crops needs to be done efficiently, given the rapid rate of climate change. Read more
Exploring the legitimacy of river health monitoring
Environmental monitoring programmes are at the heart of how we understand the health of river ecosystems. This PhD research project will apply a political ecology perspective to explore the legitimacy of river monitoring programmes among different communities. Read more
