Discover the future of sustainability with a PhD at the world’s #1 university for Built Environment studies
Globally, we need to rise to the challenges of the climate crisis and create a more sustainable, equitable world. At the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, University College London (UCL), we believe a better future is possible. Read more
A novel low-energy technique for cleaning up radioactively contaminated soils
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy will play a key role in the UK’s strategy to achieve net zero carbon by 2050. However, the high cost and intergenerational burden of decommissioning and waste management remains high and there is a need to reduce the costs of decommissioning and clean-up. Read more
Waste to Energy and Renewable Energies – Design of Hybrid Energy Systems
The advancement and economic development of any nation depends mostly on its energy structure. As the world population keeps increasing, the demand for electricity also rises. Read more
Towards net zero: Materials characterisation to improve the chemical safety case for deep geological disposal of waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear energy is a clean energy source with one of the smallest carbon footprints which produces more electricity on less land than any other clean energy source, such as windfarms. Read more
Satellite-Based Assessment System for Climate-Resilient Sustainable Buildings
Buildings account for nearly 40% of global energy usage and associated carbon emissions, highlighting the crucial role of the building sector in addressing climate change. Read more
Assessing Effect of Greenhouse Gases Emission Reduction with Variable Renewable Energy Implementation in Marine Climate Islands
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The UK has set a Net Zero target by 2050, which means no longer adding to the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Read more
