Development of a mobile urban cement plant
One issue for reusing construction/demolition waste (CDW) in cement clinker manufacture is establishing the supply chains and the associated transportation costs from urban areas to cement plants. Read more
Low-carbon cements! Can they work under pressure?
The challenges facing clean economic growth in the UK include industrial decarbonisation and improving resource efficiency. Read more
Lung-deposited surface area deposition of airborne nanoparticles in different environments
Airborne nanoparticles (<100nm) are the smallest fraction of particulate matter, which can penetrate deep into the lungs, and have more severe health impacts than their larger counterparts. Read more
Modelling and Analysis of Opposed Piston Composite Cycle Aero Engine Concepts PhD
Building a sustainable and climate neutral future for aviation is an inevitable requirement for a society with increasing mobility needs. Read more
Recruitment of 15 Faraday Institution PhD researchers for October 2022 start
The Faraday Institution is funding a number of its partner universities to recruit 15 talented individuals to become part of its PhD training programme in October 2022 and join the existing 56-strong PhD researcher group. Read more

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - Distributed gamma dosimetry with fibre-optic cables (Cavendish Nuclear and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
This project will develop fibre-optic sensors for remote, distributed gamma dosimetry. The aim is to use state-of-the-art approaches in sensor hardware and software development to produce a measurement system which can distinguish between gamma ray energies over a high measurement range. Read more
Education for Sustainability and Environmental Impact: The River Garry, a river lost?
This research project adopts an ecosystem services approach to the environment thereby recognising the different services afforded in terms of productivity, ecological support, environmental regulation, and cultural services, including human well-being. Read more
Micro-Bio-Mechanical Modelling of root growth in soils
The extent and the way roots grow in the ground is known to have a fundamental impact on the growth of crop plants as well as on the resistance to lodging induced by storms. Read more
Educating for sustainability through outdoor learning
This research focuses on sustainability as a means of avoiding the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance. Read more
Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements
The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement. Read more
Fingerprinting storm and tsunami sediment signatures: Assessing future coastal resilience challenges from extreme events
The number of deaths attributed to natural hazards continues to rise, despite progress in implementing disaster risk reduction strategies. Read more
Understanding tree anchorage to make forests more resilient to climate change
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Flood Propagation modelling
The mathematical modelling of flood propagation in rural and urban areas is typically carried out using numerical codes that solve with different approaches the so-called Shallow Water Equations (SWE), i.e. Read more
MINIMAL - Smoothed particle hydrodynamics for multiphase flow
Multiphase flows are encountered in most physical processes and engineering applications. The present project will look at the physics of the wave breaking at the beach, where the wave energy is dissipated generating air entrapment, and significant sediment transport. Read more
