Revolutionising Construction: Harnessing Digital Transformation for Sustainable Futures

The construction industry, known for its low profit margins, high energy consumption, significant greenhouse gas emissions, and extensive waste, urgently requires a transition towards more sustainable and efficient practices. Read more

Generative AI for the Next Generation of Manufacturing Automation Systems PhD

The application of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twin, blockchain, and the internet of things are growing fast, and their integration with complex manufacturing systems enables effective digitalisation and automation transition. Read more

Henry Royce Institute PhD Opportunities

Right now, our society faces huge, urgent challenges. From the imperative to achieve net-zero, to the need to build a resilient, circular economy in an uncertain world, to the drive for increased productivity as our fellow nations embrace the digital revolution. Read more

Development of a Wireless Sensor for Measuring Water Storage in Glaciers

PROJECT OVERVIEW. An exciting opportunity to develop a new instrument to study water storage in glaciers. You should have either a background in engineering or environmental science, but with a keen enthusiasm to design, build and field-test an instrument that will need to work in a harsh environment.

Pathogen Aerosolization and Detection in Building Wastewater System Fluid Dynamics

  Research Group: Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
The development of high-rise buildings is now at an unprecedented rate, with their number and scale rapidly and dramatically changing the landscape of global cities. The creation of these complex vertical communities poses major operational challenges for the systems relied upon for occupant safety and the responsible management of wastewater resources.

Transition Engineering Lab on the Housing Ecosystem. The Problem of Finding an Affordable, Decent Place to Live, within a Net Zero Community. A breakthrough in the accelerated transition of cities to net zero, thriving environments

  Research Group: Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
This project will be based at Heriot Watt Orkney campus. Rapid emissions reductions[1] require transition of personal transport and freight, and reduction of energy in buildings and embedded in vehicles, and construction in urban areas. Read more

Water Management-Desalination and Wastewater Treatment

  Research Group: Water Engineering and Natural Environment
Water management is very important in many countries in the world. Out of many aspects of water management, freshwater production by desalination technologies (thermal and membrane) and wastewater treatment by various technologies are the most important ones. Read more

Water Engineering: Complex Natural River Flow Modelling and Flood Analysis

  Research Group: Water Engineering and Natural Environment
The study on flooding, and identifying suitable ways to mitigate floods, have become a top priority for Government and the Environmental Agency, due to increasing flood frequency and intensity around the UK. Read more

Waste to Energy - Torrefaction of Biomass and Organic Residues to Produce Solid Fuel

An increasing world energy demand, the depletion of conventional fossil fuel sources and a growing awareness of their environmental impacts, highlights the importance of promoting the use of alternative fuels from renewable sources. Read more

Techno‐Economic Impact of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)

  Research Group: Mechanical and Process Engineering
The reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases is agreed in November 2016 in the Paris international agreement (IEA Dec. 2016). The agreement is expected to create a transformative change in the energy sector to combat climate change. Read more

Tackling the challenges towards the sustainable production of green hydrogen

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
Annual growth in World’s population results in a higher energy demand and a steady increase in CO. 2. emissions released into the environment, which are mainly originated from fossil fuel sources. Read more

Development of novel materials for acoustic, thermal and vibration applications

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
One of the main environmental problems of our time is elastomeric waste pollution. Due to mismanagement or inadequate recycling practices, up to 300 million tons of elastomeric waste ends up annually in landfill, or are discharged into ecosystems, posing potential threats to aquatic and terrestrial life. Read more

Construction and demolition waste disposal to energy generation: An exploratory study

  Research Group: Centre For Sustainable Environments
Globally, there is an alarming concern about the increasing statistics on the generation of construction and demolition waste. The waste hierarchy – prevent, reduce, recycle, recovery and disposal – which encourages the sustainable use of resources, unwittingly considers waste disposal. Read more
