Gold nanoparticle exhibit strong optical absorption due to their localised surface plasmon resonance (SPR). All almost all the energy absorbed at the SPR is converted into heat. Read more
Multivalent viral receptor-glycan interactions are central to viral infection and immune response regulation. However, the underpinning structural mechanisms are often poorly understood, due to a lack of effective probes for such complex, multimeric and flexible proteins. Read more
Due to the environmental and economic limitations, low friction polymer materials able to withstand high loadings and many years of continuous operation are to be used in many applications such as industrial pumps. Read more
We live in a throw-away society in which we make, use, and dispose with detrimental effects to our environment and health, such as plastic contaminants in oceans and food chains. Read more

This is an exciting opportunity to undertake an experimental materials science project in collaboration with an established University of Leeds spin-out company, aimed at developing new, environmentally-friendly piezoelectric materials for use in industrial applications at temperatures up to 600°C. Read more
This PhD project will focus on the development of eco-friendly and easy-to-reuse structural systems for the next generation infrastructures in a circular economy. Read more
Plastic pollution is now recognised as one of the major global sustainability challenges of our times. The United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) have recently agreed on a landmark resolution for a global treaty to “. Read more
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring from the whole cell down to the single-molecule level. Read more
As part of an international research collaboration on ‘Tribology as an Enabling Technology’, this PhD focuses on a new idea for manufacturing surface nanostructures with novel optical/electronic/magnetic properties for application in MEMS/NEMS and semiconductor industry. Read more
The process of mechano-transduction is the means through which cells sense and respond to their mechanical environment. This process can be observed to affect all manner of biochemical and higher order biological processes from organogenesis to tissue repair. Read more
To better understand diseases and to develop new treatment options, we need to understand very fast biological processes occurring at single molecule level. Read more
