Textile Reinforced Concretes for structural or repair applications
PhD applications are invited to the University of Birmingham to conduct research in the field of Textile Reinforced Concrete. Read more
Using the metabolome to study aging and geroprotectors in 3D cell models (Ref: UF-AS-2024-2)
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
Rapid Diagnostics for Antimicrobial Resistance
Supervisory Team: Hywel Morgan, Dan Spencer and Franklin Nobrega (Biological Sciences). PhD Supervisor: Hywel Morgan. Project description. Read more
PhD Studentship in Development of FEA models for estimating fatigue life of high performance running shoes
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Mechanics of Materials leading to the award of a PhD degree. The aim of this research is to develop FEA simulations that can answer the question of how long a running shoe will last. Read more
Scaling up next generation immortal catalysts for transforming the chemical industry
Natural gas it is an abundant and versatile energy source, helping meet growing demand for energy globally. Up to 50% of natural gas is being used as feedstock for chemical synthesis of many important base chemicals such as ammonia and methanol. Read more
Illegal water use: assessing the extent, drivers, and solutions in irrigated agriculture
Agriculture is the largest sectoral user of freshwater globally (UN, 2018). Yet, most countries do not monitor the amount of water used by farmers (Foster et al., 2020). 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
Improvements in headphone based 3-D audio using adaptive binaural signal processing and robust head-tracking
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Design of immersive binaural surround systems requires an understanding of the perceptual cues for sound source localisation. Any source at a given angle of incidence to the head will create subtle time and level difference cues at the ears and is subject to spectral shaping due to the pinnae. Read more
Optoelectronic chromatic dispersion in photodiodes: Physics and applications in optical sensing and spectroscopy
We are developing a new class of miniaturized optical sensors based on a groundbreaking technology that we have developed. We have discovered that standard PN-junction photodiodes possess huge effective chromatic dispersion, which we call optoelectronic chromatic dispersion (OED). Read more
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
Improving patient outcomes following mandibular reconstruction after oral cancer: novel finite element methods for better surgical design
Within Cheshire & Merseyside over 1,000 individuals a year are diagnosed with head and neck cancer, with some central city wards having 4 times the UK average. Read more
Modelling the formation & recycling of plastic composites
Polymer composites are used in a wide variety of applications including electronic devices, aerospace and automotive components, wind turbines and plastic packaging. Read more
Modelling exsolution: materials design for sustainable energy
One of the primary challenges for the global community is the supply of plentiful and affordable energy, moving the world away from dependence on fossil fuels by providing green alternatives. 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
Exploiting the digital thread - investigate the effects of machine tool interpolator and closed-loop control systems on surface integrity in micro machining
Metal cutting operations are used to generate parts to a design intent. Read more
