Understanding the physico-chemical evolution at the steel-cement interfaces in geological CO2 storage environments
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) refers to a number of technologies which involve capturing CO2 from large point sources (e.g. Read more
The Biosynthesis of Neurotransmitter Molecules: An evolutionary perspective
We research the evolutionary origins of the biosynthesis of biochemicals that are important to human health and wellbeing. Neurotransmission is in many ways the defining characteristic of animals, which are multicellular organisms that can sense changes in their environment and react quickly. Read more
Frequency-adaptive transceiver architectures for transmission diversity and spectrum sharing
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
In this project you will look at methods to make transceivers resistant to jamming and which allow them to operate in challenging environments. Read more
Developing high power, high efficiency terahertz sources using advanced semiconductor processing techniques
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
In this project, you will - as part of a larger team - develop high power, high temperature terahertz semiconductor lasers by investigating a number of advanced microfabrication and device packaging techniques, including flip-chip bonding, device planarization, and the integration of novel materials. Read more
Superselective targeting of cancer and neuronal cells using multivalent lectin-glycan interactions
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Are you keen to progress research in glycoscience, at the interface between chemistry, biology and physics, and interested in developing a new type of probes for diagnostics and targeted drug delivery? This project may be for you!. Read more
Intermediate dark fermentation as a platform technology for chemical recycling and biorefineries in the water sector PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD, with an enhanced stipend of £20,000 per annum, will investigate resource recovery opportunities from sewage sludge with dark fermentation as core enabling technology. Read more
Toward Easy Parallel Programming for Computational Fluid Dynamics
Research Group:
School of Computing
Computational scientists are typically not expert programmers and thus have to work with easy to use programming languages. However, they have very high-performance requirements due to their experimental setup and large datasets and have to rely on parallel computing machines for tasks like simulation runs. Read more
The physics of polymer glasses in confined geometries and in the bulk
The formation and behaviour of glassy disordered non-equilibrium solids is one of the deepest unsolved questions in physics, as demonstrated by the seminal contributions to the problem by the 2021 Nobel laureate in physics, Giorgio Parisi. Read more
Pollard Institute: Topological insulator plasmonics
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Topological insulators (TIs) are a recently discovered new type of material. Although their bulk is insulating, they have highly conductive surface states that are almost free from scattering even at room temperature, through a process known as topological protection. Read more
Pollard Institute: Terahertz imaging systems for medical robotic surgery
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
There is a pressing need to improve the precision, control and selectivity of surgical procedures addressing several high incidence cancers. Read more
Pollard Institute: Real-time gas sensing using terahertz quantum cascade lasers
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
This project will develop fast detection systems to provide the first real-time gas sensing and imaging in the terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Read more
Pollard Institute: Molecular beam epitaxial growth of terahertz quantum cascade lasers
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
