Systems and risk analysis of end-of-life options for hygiene products
Title. Systems and risk analysis of end-of-life options for hygiene products. The University of Queensland. 4 weeks. Location. Brisbane Australia. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Wind turbines now generate more than a quarter of UK electricity. Read more
Environmental pollution caused by tire and brake wear
The project covers the environmental pollution caused by automobile tire and brake wear and emphasizes the generation and environmental fate of micro and nano particulate originated from wearing across typical tire and brake life cycles. Read more
A new generation of sustainable structures through holistic optimisation
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The built environment is responsible for a significant proportion of global carbon emissions. This can be partly attributed to inefficiencies in structural behaviour. Read more
Thermal energy from embedded retaining walls in challenging ground conditions
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Heating and cooling of buildings is a key priority for decarbonisation due to the scale of the demand and the tendency for direct use of fossil fuels. Read more
Infrastructures for a sustainable future
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Recent events linked to climate change have drawn attention to the criticality of infrastructure for the social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of societies. Read more
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more
The Uncertain Life of a Space System
Space sustainability is an emerging area of research that combines the sustainable use of space with the sustainable use of resources on Earth to develop space systems. Read more
Sustainable recycling of end-of-life electric vehicle batteries
Project: The age of the electric car is all but upon us. Billions of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) are reaching their lifetime along with the widespread application of electric vehicles. Read more
Vegetation-based climate change adaptation measures for earth infrastructure
Climate change will affect the performance of existing earth infrastructure. Read more

Advanced characterisation of hydroceramics – Improving the safety case for deep geological disposal of radioactive waste
Nuclear energy provides almost a fifth of the UK’s electricity, generating waste that needs to be managed for safe, long term storage. Read more
Optical monitor for gas leaks in renewable energy transportation and storage PhD
Be part of the energy revolution by joining our PhD programme in optical sensors. As the market for renewable energy increases, energy storage and transport will make increasing use of a new generation of liquefied gases. Read more
Decarbonising global supply chains: tools for trade-off decision-making
Context. The energy transition for a low carbon future requires a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel usage along global supply chains (GSCs). Read more
