We have 18 Engineering (muscle) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Last chance to apply
Muscle-On-Chip Technologies for Space Flight Exploration (IDRT25/HLS/SPA/SIMOES)
Spaceflight is an extreme environment that causes premature ageing of skeletal muscle. Read more
Development of a new muscle mechanics model - mechanics of lower limb muscles during gait
The goal of this project is to build a new model of muscle contraction called the Active Spring Muscle Model (ASMM) and to verify the model in human gait mechanics. Read more
Understanding the Electric Field in Electrical Stimulation for Biomedical Applications
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. Read more
Exploring Sensorimotor Function and Developing Rehabilitation Strategies using Experimental and Computational Approaches
In collaboration with a multidisciplinary team consisting of biologists, clinicians, engineers, mathematicians, and computational biologists and startups around the globe, we aim to decipher the organizational principles of sensorimotor function in mammals. Read more
BBSRC NWD CASE: Selective breeding, morphological and functional disparity in domestic dogs: implications for welfare and veterinary healthcare technologies
Background & Rationale. Selective breeding by humans has made the domestic dog the most morphologically diverse species that has ever existed. Read more
Treating right-heart failure from an energetics perspective
Learn about this project and more at our upcoming webinar on January 23. Over the last decade particularly in recent pandemic years, there has been an increased focus on the diagnosis and treatment of right-ventricular disease and failure (RVF). Read more
Mathematical Signal Processing and Machine Learning approaches to understand and define the abnormal heart tissue responsible for fatal heart rhythms
Find out more and apply now. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for approximately 15-20% of reported deaths in the UK. Those most effected by SCA are people with structural and functional abnormalities of the heart. Read more
Computational Biomechanics for Next-Generation Orthopaedic Solutions and Device Design
Bodily movement results from the action of muscles exerting forces on our skeleton. The magnitude of these forces has a broad range from walking to high-speed movements during sporting activity. Read more
Unveiling molecular mechanisms of the beneficial impact of exercise on cancer metabolism (Ref: AACME-24-038)
Exercise and physical activity are known to impart beneficial effects throughout the different stages of cancer treatment, including reduced risk of primary disease and prevention of secondary metastasis, for various types of cancers. Read more
Enhancing personalised medicine via ecosystems of digital mirrors (S3.5-MAC-Dardeno)
Digital mirrors – mathematical refinements of digital twins – are predictive models that simulate real-time states of physical systems and are recognised as crucial for personalised healthcare in the UK. Read more
Using imaging spectroscopy to measure individual differences in facial expressivity in human and non-human primates
Project ID. HI_4. Theme. Health Innovation. Humans have evolved the most expressive faces of all mammals, with facial musculature capable of a wide range of subtle and complex movement (Waller et al., 2020). Read more
Modelling, simulations and machine learning of the dynamics of human swallowing
The project. A normal swallow is an impressively complex sequence of movements, requiring the coordination of muscles located within the oral cavity, pharynx, larynx and oesophagus. Read more
Advanced Proprioception for Robotic Legs
Humans are complex mechanical systems of interconnected bodies with a high degree of freedom (DOF). Our inner structures/bodies have naturally evolved with advanced proprioception and control, enabling us to perform a wide range of actions/movements, such as running, walking, sitting, and jumping. Read more
MonitoRing the Effect of TRAnscutaneous functional electrIcal stimulation of the common peroneal Nerve using the geko™ neuromuscular electro stimulator (NMES) on cerebral haemodynamics and neuroplasticity in patients with ischaemic strokes (The RETRAIN Trial)
We are seeking talented, motivated students with a passion for research in neural engineering led by Dr Anirban Dutta - Institute of Metabolism and Systems Research - University of Birmingham. 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
