Computer vision in astronomical and manufacturing processes
The project revolves around the application of computer vision techniques developed for the analysis of astronomical images to the field of quality assurance within the inspection of jet engine components used for the aerospace industry. Read more
Novel materials for ankle ligament repair
Chronic ankle instability affects about 30% of patients who have experienced a severe ankle sprain. Around 60% of these will have degeneration of the ankle and develop osteoarthritis - a debilitating condition. Read more
PhD studentship in the development of coating technologies to fabricate perovskite solar cells
Solar cells are becoming an increasingly important part of the UK’s electricity generation network. Read more
Thin overlays to replace the need for conventional reinforcement in 3D-printed concrete structures
Three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) is one of the digital construction technologies, which eliminates the use of expensive formwork for building concrete structures with complex geometries via an additive manufacturing process. Read more
Population Based Structural Health Monitoring
The Dynamics Research Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering is recruiting for a PhD position associated with the EPSRC funded programme grant ROSEHIPS. Read more
Investigating the mechanisms underlying collective cell migration in vivo
Cell migration plays an important role in the normal development of multicellular organisms and also in cancer metastasis. While many kinds of individual cell movements have been characterised, we understand much less about how clusters of cells migrate in a coordinated fashion. Read more
Telecom-wavelength single-photon sources
Research Group:
Inorganic Semiconductors
Semiconductor quantum dots are considered to be one of the best candidates to serve as the quantum emitters in quantum communication networks. Read more
Engineering Doctorate (EngD): Predicting Performance of Intensified Carbon Capture Inside Rotating Packed Beds using CFD Modelling
Impact of the project: You will help to make CO2 capture both cheaper and more compact, meaning that it can be fitted on equipment which cannot be decarbonised by other means. Read more
Understanding the potential role of biofortified (nutrient enhanced) crops for improving UK diets
Micronutrient deficiencies are highly prevalent in UK populations and are associated with the dual burden of malnutrition. Food-based health inequalities have been exacerbated through prolonged austerity and the Covid-19 pandemic. Read more
Designing Cements for Martian and Lunar Construction
Human settlements on celestial bodies such as the Earth’s moon and Mars were imagined as early as the 17th century and have recently received increased attention because of NASA’s Artemis mission and “Journey to Mars” plan, as well as SpaceX’s Mars program. Read more
Rapid genomic testing in acutely unwell adults
Rapid exome sequencing has been shown to have a high diagnostic rate and impact clinical management in acutely unwell children. Read more
Understanding the Stability of Biologics Using Advanced Light Scattering Techniques
The biotherapeutics market was valued at approximately USD 325.17 billion in 2020. It is expected to witness a revenue of USD 496.71 billion in 2026, with a CAGR of 7.32% over the forecast period, 2021-2026. Read more
Enhancing the Biotechnological Potential of a Bioplastic Producer Cupriavidus Necator H16 Using a Combination of Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) and Synthetic Biology Approaches
Plastic, a lightweight, durable, and impact-resistant material, has transformed the way we live and made positive impacts across various economic sectors. Read more
Engineering Virus-Like Particles (VLPS) for the Next-Generation Vaccines
Virus-like particles (VLPs) are molecules that mimic viruses and will trigger immune response when introduced into body. As they do not contain any viral genetic material, they are not infectious. Read more
Advancing Adaptive Laboratory Evolution (ALE) for the Next-Generation Biomanufacturing
Future manufacturing of chemicals, fuels, energy, materials, and drug therapeutics will be circular, sustainable, and biological at its heart. Read more
