PhD in Mathematics - Dissecting Neural Networks
Start date. 01 October 2025. Deep learning has shown promising applicability to real-world problems. However, our understanding of deep learning is currently still limited. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Paired meteorites: identical or nonidentical twins
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Aim: . The fundamental assumption underpinning the field of meteoritics is that all extraterrestrial rocks that are found in the same strewn field in the aftermath of a meteorite dropping fireball event are identical to each other. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Meteorite impact mass extinctions: Alkali feldspars as a record of impact energy, and an agent of environmental change
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Background and aims. The impact of a ~12 km diameter asteroid sixty-six million years ago caused one of the most devastating mass extinctions in Earth history. Read more
PhD in Mathematics and Statistics - Exploring double loop geometry
Start Date. 01 October 2025. This is a project in Representation Theory and Algebraic Geometry. Loop groups are infinite dimensional symmetry groups that have come to play a fundamental role in representation theory. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Viruses in fractured basalt aquifers: terrestrial analog for a potential Martian subsurface microbiome?
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Motivation. On Earth, viruses are the most abundant microorganism in seawater (Suttle 2007). The relative abundance of viruses in terrestrial groundwaters is not yet known, but recent studies point towards a large and highly novel subsurface virome (Wu et al. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - The geological evolution of C-complex asteroids and their role in the origins of life on Earth
Start date. 01 October 2025. This project asks whether the terrestrial planets including Earth were made habitable by carbonaceous chondrite meteorites delivering bio-essential ingredients including water, organic compounds, nitrogen and phosphorus. . Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Planetary Analogues – Exploring Earth to aid Mars Sample Return
Start Date. 01 October 2025. Aim. This research will identify similarities and differences between the rocks and sand collected on Mars by the NASA Perseverance rover, the associated NASA/ESA Mars sample return analogue materials, and Martian meteorites. Read more
PhD in Biomedical Engineering - Adaptive Soft Wearable Robots for Rehabilitation and Daily Life Assistance
Start Date. 2025 (any month). Robotic exoskeletons have been widely used to enhance human mobility, aiding individuals with physical or neurological disorders, improving dexterity, and reducing energy expenditure during demanding tasks. Read more
PhD in Engineering - Protection of high-temperature superconducting fusion magnets using RF technology and machine learning techniques

PhD in Computing Science - Optimal mechanism design and active inference for advanced human-computer interfaces to machine learning
This project will look at developing “mediating mechanisms” as a way to link machine learning to human-computer interaction in tightly-coupled control loops. Read more
PhD for IAPETUS2 DTP, NERC - The contribution of mesopelagic fish to the functioning of the Southern Ocean Ecosystem in a changing climate – an isotopic study.
Start Date. October 1st 2025. Myctophid fish comprise a high biomass in the Southern Ocean (Dornan et al. 2022), which plays a crucial role in food web operation and biogeochemical cycling (Murphy et al. Read more
PhD for NERC IAPETUS DTP - Coffee Grounds for an Equitable Transition
Start Date. October 2025. This project will provide the scientific foundation for a social enterprise based on repurposing spent coffee grounds (SCG) into growing media for profitable oyster mushrooms. Read more
PhD for IAPETUS2 DTP - Feathered Witnesses: Unravelling the Impact of Habitat Loss on Neotropical Avifauna with Stable Isotope Analysis
Start Date. October 1st 2025. The avian subfamily of Tachyphoninae are a group of Neotropical lowland Tanagers. Read more
PhD NERC IAPETUS DTP - Microbial degradation of glacial POPs
Start Date. October 2025. Project rationale: . Glaciers have been found to harbour anthropogenic pollutants. Read more
PhD in Mechanical Engineering - Performance of deep closed loop geothermal systems in unconventional settings
