Embodiment of Robotic tail - Can we walk like a T-Rex?
Project Overview. Individuals skilled in using tools for sports, arts, and culinary activities might experience notable alterations in their bodily self-perception. Read more
Assessment of phototherapy with model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Project Overview. . Saccharomyces cerevisiae is extensively used as model organism and is well understood from a sequencing perspective so up-regulation or down-regulation of gene expression is tractable. Read more
3D printing spinal cords
Project Overview. This project offers an exciting opportunity to use hydrogels and 3D printing to engineer a segment of the spinal cord, which could be further developed into a transplant for patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Read more
Machine learning to predict blood function – towards better haematology analysis
Blood represents a complex mixture of blood cells, plasma proteins, hormones, lipids, salts and water. Blood is good indicator of health, and clinically, blood samples are taken frequently to monitor health, risk of disease or success of treatments. Read more
A chemical engine to produce mechanical force: towards a physio-chemical model of heart cells
Living systems are complex, and are based on the basic building blocks of genes, proteins, chemical reactions, and physical forces. Read more
Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms
Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more
Biomechanics and wearable sensors
Project Overview. Movement analysis and recording in humans has been confined to dedicated gait and motion capture facilities, but this only records movements for a single part of one day in an unusual environment. Read more
Development of a collaborative robot – human-robot collaboration
Robots work effectively in factories. For example, in car factories, huge robotic arms pick up car parts and join them to the skeleton of the car, working at less than millimetre and millisecond precision. Read more
Effect of dietary vitamin B supplementation on brain synaptic activity
Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of B vitamins (e.g., B6, B12 and folate) for optimal physiological and neurological functioning. Read more
Machine learning for affective manipulation in music brain computer interfaces
At the University of Reading, we have created one of the first music brain computer interfaces (BCI). Read more
Animats - neural culture-controlled robots for closed-loop neuroscience
The project will continue research started at the University of Reading on animats - robotic platforms controlled in real time by activity of biological neuron cultures - and will investigate the methods for implementing efficient conditioning protocols. Read more
Designing Technology for Personalised Nutrition
This PhD investigates the design of technology to provide personalised nutrition advice. Non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease are major challenges globally, and can be addressed, in part, by eating a healthier diet. Read more
Delivering Sustainable Energy Solutions to Ports
Ports are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions as they commonly move up to 10,000 containers a day from ship to road or rail transport and correspondingly in the reverse direction from land transport onto ships. Read more
