BBSRC White Rose DTP Studentship - How does S. pneumoniae acquire extracellular DNA from its natural environment to drive antibiotic resistance?
Understanding the flow of genetic information between individuals and communities is fundamental to our understanding of how biological systems function. Read more
Development of materials for back-contact perovskite solar cells
Research Group:
Biological Physics
Solar cells now make an increasingly important contribution to our energy generation. Read more
Using and developing atomic force microscopy (AFM) and nano-IR to understand the physics of bacterial growth and antimicrobial resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem in medicine as it could lead to common. infections causing serious illness or even death. Read more
Fabricating and characterising perovskite polariton devices
A polariton is a quasi-particle created by mixing a photon with an exciton in an optical cavity. These. part-light-part-matter particles form the foundation of the emerging science of polaritonics, and. Read more
Self Assembling Structural Colour
Structural Colour is everywhere in the natural world, from Bird feathers to Butterflies and even. Plants. In this PhD we would like to develop an understanding of how industrial-grade BCPs can be. Read more
Understanding the physics of up- and down-conversion in organic semiconductors.
Up/down conversion of energy using molecular semiconductors offers an enticing opportunity to. improve solar cell efficiency beyond the Shockley Queisser limit. Read more
Studying triplet excitons in the strong coupling regime.
Polariton chemistry is a rapidly emerging and exciting new research field where light is used to. control chemistry via quantum mechanical strong coupling between photons and electrons. Read more
Mapping Energy Transfer in Time and Space.
Research Group:
Biological Physics
In this project you will optimize and use a newly developed microscopy technique. called stroboSCAT to track excitonic energy transfer in space and time. Read more
Near-field Optical Spectroscopy with Sub-Diffraction Spatial Resolution
Research Group:
Inorganic Semiconductors
Many processes occurring on the nano-scale are fundamental for functional light-sensitive and light-driven systems that we encounter and apply in nano-materials, optoelectronics and quantum nano-photonics, artificial photosynthesis, antimicrobial resistance and many other cutting-edge areas from quantum technologies to healthcare. Read more
Nanoscale quantum physics and quantum information processing with electrons and atoms in semiconductor quantum dots
Research Group:
Inorganic Semiconductors
Nanoscale semiconductor structures are actively studied for potential applications in quantum. information processing, energy harvesting, and photonics. Read more
Properties of evolved hot luminous stars from large spectroscopic surveys
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Massive stars are rare, though dominate the radiative, mechanical and chemical feedback in star-forming galaxies. Historically spectroscopic studies of hot massive stars in the Milky Way and nearby galaxies have been restricted to small sample sizes. Read more
Physical and wind properties of hot luminous. stars with ULLYSES
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Massive stars are rare, though dominate the radiative, mechanical and chemical feedback in star-forming galaxies. Read more
Pathways to thermonuclear supernovae
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Thermonuclear supernovae are the result of the explosion of a white dwarf star in a binary system, the most well know of which are the cosmologically important Type Ia supernovae (SN Ia). Read more
The Japanese Long-Baseline Neutrino Programme (T2K, SuperKamiokande and HyperKamiokande)
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
The particle physics and particle astrophysics (PPPA) group at the University of Sheffield has a long-standing involvement in Japan’s long-baseline neutrino programme. Read more
Strong light-matter interaction in van der Waals 2D materials: discovery of novel quantum states of the matter
Research Group:
Inorganic Semiconductors
The isolation of single-atomic layer graphene has led to a surge of interest in a large family of layered crystals with strong in-plane bonds and weak van der Waals interlayer coupling. Read more
