Chemistry in planet-forming regions revealed by ALMA
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) is a telescope in Chile that observes the universe at millimeter wavelengths. Read more
Silica Coated Gold Nanorods for Combined Photothermal Treatment
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
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
Probing Viral Receptor-Glycan Interactions using Polyvalent Multifunctional Glycan-Nanoparticle
Research Group:
School of Chemistry
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
Novel nanoparticle-loaded formulations to enhance the locoregional delivery of anticancer drugs to brain tumours
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the deadliest form of primary brain tumour with an extremely poor survival duration of less than 15 months. Read more
Reducing variation in hip replacement outcomes: understanding psoas tendon impingement
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Total hip replacement (THR) is a successful operation but the number of devices requiring revision is continuing to rise. Read more
Optimisation of loose ring oil lift using combined numerical experimental methods
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
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
Sustainable compostable packaging formed from all natural materials
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
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
Environmentally-Friendly Piezoelectric Materials
Research Group:
School of Chemical and Process Engineering
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
Low-carbon and reusable structural systems for sustainable infrastructures
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
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 emission factors measurement and modelling for macro-plastic waste
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
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
Next Generation High-Speed Fluorescence Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
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
Tribonanoprinting: Nano-manufacturing of functionalised structures by harnessing tribochemistry
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
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
Developing a tuneable ferroelectric nematic materials platform
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Nematic liquid crystals are ubiquitous in our lives; we encounter them constantly thanks to their widespread use in display technology. Read more
Design and Fabrication of Soft Robotics Cell Stretching Device for Tissue Engineering
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
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
Next Generation High-Speed Atomic Force Microscopy in the Wolfson Imaging Facility
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
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
