GREENCDT The design and simulation of micro-reactors for space propulsion, lunar surface power and planetary defence
There is increasing interest in enabling humans to explore further into space and for longer periods of time than has historically been achieved, including a permanent presence on the lunar surface and travel to Mars. Read more
(EPSRC DTG) Metal-Organic Frameworks for Clean Air: A comprehensive EPR study
Ammonia (NH. 3. ) and nitrogen dioxide (NO. 2. ) are harmful air pollutants due to their highly corrosive and toxic nature. One strategy to mitigate air pollution is to use porous materials that are capable to adsorb and further convert these atmospheric pollutants into useful chemicals for industry. Read more
Designing catalytic pyrolysis of biomass for green hydrogen production
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
We welcome applications for this fully funded PhD studentship project from highly motivated candidates interested in advancing technology towards Net Zero goals through development of green hydrogen production routes. Read more
Design and Engineering of Light-activated Enzymes for Chemicals Production
In this PhD studentship, we will pioneer generalized, rule-based design of photo-biocatalysts to open up new and high-energy catalytic reaction pathways. Read more
