The Biomedical and Astronomical Signal Processing (BASP) laboratory at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh (HWU), headed by Professor Yves Wiaux is recruiting a PhD student for research on computational imaging in low-resource settings. Read more

Fully-funded EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures

Our four year doctoral programme challenges our students to work on cutting-edge, innovative research projects that will address key challenges faced by industrial stakeholders. Read more

PhD Project: Could in service life concrete carbonation lead to negative emissions?

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Concrete is a fundamental building material essential to economic development and a substantial contributor to greenhouse gas emissions during its production. Read more

PhD project: Developing non-critical raw materials-based electrocatalysts for green hydrogen generation from wastewater

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
The project focuses on the development of cost-effective electrocatalysts derived from non-critical raw materials, aiming to replace expensive platinum group metals in the electrolysis process. Read more

PhD project: Deep removal of CO2 from industrial sources using innovative electrification concepts

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This project will explore deep removal of CO. 2. from industrial sources (i.e., CO. 2. capture rates higher than 95%) and will focus on the development and assessment of novel electrochemical-regeneration methods that can be coupled to amine-based carbon capture technologies. Read more

PhD project: Digital twin for decarbonising industry using hydrogen and low-carbon energy vectors

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
The candidate will work closely with industry to develop digital twin solutions for incorporating renewable energy options in industrial clusters, such as hydrogen, batteries, solar, wind and heat-pumps, for deep decarbonisation. Read more

PhD project: Integration of direct air capture into industrial clusters and renewable energy systems

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Large scale direct air CO. 2. capture may be needed to counter greenhouse gas emissions from so-called ‘hard to abate’ sectors (aviation, agriculture, certain industrial activities). Read more

PhD project: Sustainable production of chemicals and aviation fuels

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
Large scale deployments of carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) and integration with green hydrogen are a promising pathway to produce value-added chemicals and sustainable aviation fuels. Read more

PhD project: Hydrogen and carbon dioxide storage and transport for net-zero industrial clusters

  Research Group: CDT in Green Industrial Futures
This project focuses on establishing reliable, cost-effective, large hydrogen or carbon dioxide storage and distribution hubs. In collaboration with industrial partners, we aim to identify and reduce the hurdles for geological storage of hydrogen and carbon dioxide. Read more
