Illuminating Membrane Protein Interactions with Advanced Mass Spectrometry
Description. Membrane proteins perform critical roles in cellular communication and transport, yet studying their interactions remains challenging due to their inherent instability outside lipid-rich environments. Read more
Novel Stabilisation and Delivery Materials for RNA-based Therapies
After nearly five decades of research and innovation, the first mRNA-based vaccines burst on to the world stage during the COVID-19 pandemic halting the spread of infections and heralding a new era in vaccine development and biotherapeutics. Read more
AI-Enhanced Sustainability: Driving Net-Zero Targets in Advanced Manufacturing Technology
This project is an exciting opportunity to undertake industrially linked research in partnership with the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC). Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] AI-Driven Robotics for Intelligent Construction: Optimising Human-Robot Collaboration through Digitalisation
Robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are transforming the construction industry, addressing pressing challenges such as workforce shortages, safety risks, and productivity demands. Read more
Advancing Satellite Operations in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)
The Space Environment and Radio Engineering Network (SERENE) at the University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD position focused on exploring and understanding the complex environment of Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO). Read more
Multifunctional microwave and millimetre-wave hardware for new space applications
Increasingly higher frequencies and wider bands are being used for space applications. For example, for high throughput telecommunication satellite systems, this goes from Ku/Ka to Q-band reaching out to W-band. Read more
Programmable and reconfigurable microwave devices and systems using new materials and smart structures
With the pervasive use of wireless communication systems from land to space, static communication hardware no longer meets the diverse deployment needs. Read more
Radiation effects on fatigue performance of high temperature steels
The aim of this PhD project is to assess the impact of local microstructure and radiation damage on the fatigue performance of advanced high-temperature fusion steels, potential candidates for the first wall and tritium breeder components. Read more
Exploring Novel Materials for High-Performance Proton-Conducting Electrolysis
Protonic ceramics represent an emergent class of materials that have potential utility in several intermediate-temperature electrochemical applications, including the production of “green” hydrogen. Read more
Transmutation effects on structural integrity in plasma-facing tungsten materials
Tungsten (W) is currently the frontrunner candidate as armour material for plasma-facing structural components in fusion tokamak technology. In particular, tungsten-based divertor components will experience high particle fluxes and steady-state heat loads ranging from ~8-20 MWm-2. Read more
Factors controlling near-road exposure to traffic-related air pollutants
For decades, road vehicles have had a considerable impact on urban air pollution and the wider environment. Read more
