Creating novel sophorolipid structures via biological transformation
Research Group:
Biochemical and Bioprocess Engineering
This collaborative PhD project with Holiferm Limited will investigate the post fermentation transformation of the sophorolipid biosurfactant molecule, generating novel structures with interesting and useful properties. Read more
Sustainability assessment of biobased surfactants by fermentation and biomass transformation
Research Group:
Sustainable Industrial Engineering
This PhD project in collaboration with Holiferm Limited will assess the environmental impacts and techno-economic aspects of different types of biosurfactants, produced via a variety of pathways such as fermentation and biomass transformation, and compare these to traditional chemical surfactants in a consistent way – allowing for fair and even evaluation of the environmental profiles/benefits.

3D-printable fibre-reinforced low-carbon concrete for additive construction
3D concrete printing (3DCP) can allow freeform construction without the use of expensive formwork, but the current progress is limited by the range of printable concretes and reinforcing methods. Read more
Development of low-carbon and low-cost textile reinforced concrete
Textile Reinforced Concrete (TRC) is a cementitious composite material where textile materials (e.g., carbon or glass fabric) are embedded as reinforcement. Read more
Development of low-cost ultra-high performance low-carbon concrete
According to the Portland Cement Association (PCA), ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) is ‘‘a high-strength, ductile material formulated by combining Portland cement, silica fume, quartz flour, fine silica sand, high range water reducer, water, and steel or organic fibres. Read more
Strain-hardening geopolymer composites for sustainable and durable construction
Fiber-reinforced strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCC) are a unique class of fiber-reinforced concrete exhibiting a pseudo strain-hardening behavior in tension after first cracking, accompanied by multiple cracking up to relatively high strain levels. Read more
