In situ characterisation of liquids in decommissioning environments by LIBS
This project is fully-funded by the EPSRC and the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL) as an industrial case studentship and is primarily based at NNL Workington in West Cumbria. Read more
Creating novel sophorolipid structures via biological transformation
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
This collaborative PhD project with Holiferm Limited will investigate the post fermentation transformation of the sophorolipid biosurfactant molecule, generating novel structures with interesting and useful properties. Read more
Sustainability assessment of biobased surfactants by fermentation and biomass transformation
Research Group:
Sustainable Industrial Engineering
This PhD project in collaboration with Holiferm Limited will assess the environmental impacts and techno-economic aspects of different types of biosurfactants, produced via a variety of pathways such as fermentation and biomass transformation, and compare these to traditional chemical surfactants in a consistent way – allowing for fair and even evaluation of the environmental profiles/benefits.

Process Development for Size and Shape Manipulation of Elongated Crystals
What is the PhD Project About?. This project will address one of the key challenges in crystallization process development. Crystallization is a separation and purification technique that is widely employed in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and fine chemical industries. Read more
Application of deep learning to characterise transport of waste-derived gas in Lower Strength Sedimentary Rocks (LSSRs)
This is a 4-year PhD project funded by Nuclear Waste Services after a competitive call for PhD bursary. The topic of research is on use of machine learning for characterising the complex transport of gas in LSSRs. Read more
Engineering Downstream Processes to Enhance Processability of Crystallized Products
What is the PhD Project About?. This project, performed in collaboration with AstraZeneca, will address one of the key challenges in processing pharmaceutical products. Read more
2D materials based-membranes for biomedical applications
Chemical separations are critical to many aspects of our daily lives, from the energy we use and the water we drink, to the medications we take. Read more
Membrane based technology to intensify the sustainable production of chemicals
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
Project Description. In the context of net-zero and the current scenario of depleting fossil resources, glycerol from biodiesel is a widely generated by-product. Read more
Numerical modelling and design of geothermal heat recovery from subsurface systems
Research Group:
Multiscale Modelling
Sedimentary basins are ubiquitous, naturally porous and permeable, and the geothermal heat in these basins can be extracted with geologic water or CO. Read more
Novel hybrid modelling approach and solution algorithms for optimal synthesis and design of industrial CO2 utilisation processes
The increase of anthropogenic CO. 2. emissions from the utilization and conversion of fossil fuel has been a global concern as it led to unintended consequences on global warming and climate change. Read more
Modelling and Experiments on Subsurface Engineering Applications
Porous media research has a very wide range of applications such as subsurface energy. Read more
Modelling the swelling of graphene-oxide membranes
Graphene-oxide membranes (GOM) are promising materials for contemporary separation challenges, including desalination, due to the nanoscale size of its pore structure. Read more
Predicting interfacial pH in micellar solutions: linking morphology with reactivity in aqueous surfactant systems
The pH at the surface of a micelle (local pH) can be markedly different (several pH units) to the bulk pH resulting in ionisable surfactants, such as CAPB being protonated while its pKa would suggest it was fully deprotonated. Read more

Towards particle design of pharmaceutical crystals
This project is being pursued in collaboration with AstraZeneca and the successful applicant will be part of a larger research group supervised by Dr Cruz-Cabeza and Dr Ashwin Rajagopalan. Read more
Hierarchical porous architectures for catalytic cascade reactions
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
