Water Engineering: Complex Natural River Flow Modelling and Flood Analysis
Research Group:
Water Engineering and Natural Environment
The study on flooding, and identifying suitable ways to mitigate floods, have become a top priority for Government and the Environmental Agency, due to increasing flood frequency and intensity around the UK. Read more
Circular Economy of Mineral-Based Construction Materials
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
As part of the Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-Based Construction Materials (ICEC-MCM), we have a PhD scholarship to investigate technical aspects of circular economy applied to construction materials. Read more
Construction and demolition waste disposal to energy generation: An exploratory study
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Globally, there is an alarming concern about the increasing statistics on the generation of construction and demolition waste. The waste hierarchy – prevent, reduce, recycle, recovery and disposal – which encourages the sustainable use of resources, unwittingly considers waste disposal. Read more
A new generation of sustainable structures through holistic optimisation
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The built environment is responsible for a significant proportion of global carbon emissions. This can be partly attributed to inefficiencies in structural behaviour. Read more
Thermal energy from embedded retaining walls in challenging ground conditions
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Heating and cooling of buildings is a key priority for decarbonisation due to the scale of the demand and the tendency for direct use of fossil fuels. Read more
Infrastructures for a sustainable future
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Recent events linked to climate change have drawn attention to the criticality of infrastructure for the social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of societies. Read more
Investigating the effectiveness of ‘Drinking Water Safety Planning’ for future smart water systems
Technology is developing at a rapid pace, providing significant opportunities to improve how we live and work in the world. The development of IoT, cloud data and analytics, and machine learning/AI, have significant potential to help in the monitoring and management of drinking water and wastewater systems. Read more
Advancing Inclusive Urban Design through Systems Thinking
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
In architecture and urbanism studies, participatory approaches have been proven effective in improving cities' development and shaping the built environment, contributing to a better quality of life. Read more
Innovation systems for foundation industries
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
How can foundation industries collaborate to innovate towards a sustainable circular economy? This PhD project will take an innovation systems approach to support transformative change across industries such as cement, ceramics, metals, glass, paper and chemicals. Read more
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
Geopolymer reinforced concrete structural elements
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Geopolymers is an alkali-activated amorphous aluminosilicious cementitious material exhibiting the ideal properties of rock-forming minerals. Read more
Self Sensing reinforced concrete structural elements
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
Self-sensing concrete has recently attracted major research attention and significant commercial interests, aiming to produce smart infrastructures with elegantly integrated health monitoring abilities. Read more
Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Stay In Place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements
Research Group:
Centre For Sustainable Environments
The concept of using FRP composites for structurally integrated stay-in-place (SIP) formwork for structural concrete elements maximizes the advantages of both FRP and concrete; not only can the high strength of FRP be utilized effectively, but also FRP profiles can serve as permanent formwork. Read more
Effect of bed slope and roughness on the spreading and dilution of gravity currents
Research Group:
Water Engineering and Natural Environment
Gravity current is frequently encountered in natural (e.g. saltwater intrusion in an estuary) and man-made environments (e.g. mining solution; desalination). Read more
Techno‐Economic Impact of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS)
Research Group:
Mechanical and Process Engineering
The reduction of emissions of greenhouse gases is agreed in November 2016 in the Paris international agreement (IEA Dec. 2016). The agreement is expected to create a transformative change in the energy sector to combat climate change. Read more
