Mangroves are marine vascular plants that are found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. They are hotspots of ecosystem services including trapping carbon, providing nursery grounds to coastal fish, and acting as a buffer to storms and tsunamis. Read more
Air quality control relies on the simulation of aerosol dynamics. This research is to develop new theoretical model and simulation tools for these particle-laden flows. Read more
We offer a 3-year PhD position for a talented, proactive, and strongly motivated candidate who will contribute building a new setup with potential for ground breaking scientific research in the field of solid-state quantum memories for quantum communication applications. Read more
In this project we seek to develop a multi-mode microneedle sensor that can measure electrical properties and physical tissue changes concurrently. Read more
This experimental project will investigate photoelectron circular dichroism (PECD) in chiral molecules (i.e. molecules exhibiting distinct left- and right-handed forms that are non-superimposable mirror images). Read more
Combining 2D beam shaping elements (including refractive and diffractive elements) with bespoke focussing optics to shape a laser beam though the entire focal volume rather than in a single focal plane. Read more
Laser based manufacturing processes have become industry standard tools in a wide range of areas with scales as diverse as automotive and shipbuilding down to electronic circuits and micro medical devices. Read more
Biological tissue often has unique three-dimensional hierarchical microstructures and morphologies, constantly evolving through their development and patho-physiological stages. Read more
Heriot-Watt University and the University of Edinburgh are jointly offering an exciting opportunity to study a PhD through an innovative 4-year PhD training programme, drawing on our extensive experience with postgraduate teaching and research supervision in the area of Robotics and Autonomous Systems.
