Explainable AI

Artificial intelligence is making huge strides in what it can achieve. However one of the drawbacks of current techniques is their inability to explain how it did this. Read more

Novel Sampling, Synthesis, and Capture of Organophosphate Nerve Agent Stimulants in Critical Environments

This project will explore new integrated approaches for enhanced security applications. Our aim is to develop a comprehensive study of organophosphate nerve agent stimulants and their potential degradants in critical environments. Read more

Nijenhuis Geometry

This PhD project is a part of long-term research programme “Nijenhuis Geometry”, a new challenging area in Differential Geometry that studies local and global properties of geometric structures given by a field of endomorphisms with vanishing Nijenhuis torsion. Read more

Quantum dynamics of electrons in emerging 2D devices

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are at the forefront of research in quantum phenomena in condensed matter, with many research groups worldwide currently exploring their fundamental properties and applications. Read more

Dispersionless integrable systems in 2+1 dimensions

Dispersionless integrable systems occur in a wide range of applications in various areas of pure and applied mathematics. In 2+1 dimensions, there exists an efficient approach to the classification of integrable systems of this kind based on the method of hydrodynamic reductions pioneered by the Loughborough group [1]. Read more

Analytical and computational studies of complex liquid-film flows

In this project, we plan to investigate numerically and analytically interfacial dynamics of liquid films in the presence of additional complexities such as surfactants, evaporation and externally applied electric fields. Read more

Eigenvalues of functional difference operators associated to mirror curves

Toric Calabi–Yau manifolds play an important role in mathematical physics. Their mirror manifolds can be described by algebraic curves and recently it was observed that quantisation of these curves leads to functional-difference operators. Read more

Theory and applications of quantum memristors

Quantum technologies 2.0, including but not limited to quantum computing, are taking the increasingly important place both in research and industry. Read more

Novel Molecules for Pancreatic Cancer Treatment

At present there are no effective drugs for pancreatic cancer treatment. Several molecules have been shown to be a promising anti-austerity agents, able to suppress pancreatic cancer cell lines to tolerate conditions of nutrient deprivation. Read more

Novel Polycyclic Beta-lactams: New Antibiotics?

The quest for novel antibiotics is an important challenge for organic chemists. Novel modifications of old bioactive cores is a central part of this quest. Read more

Nanofabrication of novel materials for spintronics and energy harvesting

Society has benefitted from the continued miniaturisation of electronic components to the extent that we now take the availability of portable personal devices such as smart watches, phones, tablets and lighter, faster laptops for granted. Read more

British Weird Fiction Since 1850

This is an opportunity to research aspects of weird, gothic, and supernatural fiction in British and Irish writing from the 1850s to the present. Read more

Characterisation of High Shear Mixers for process Intensification

High shear mixers such as rotor-stators, ultrasonicators, and high-pressure jets, are used for dispersion processes during the manufacture of numerous high-value products. Read more

Start-up strategies for battery electric vehicles and aircraft in cold climates

The battery electric vehicle (BEV) has the potential to decarbonise the transport sector through the use of renewable electricity and zero tailpipe emissions, however, limited vehicle range remains a significant issue. Read more

Novel High-Performance Coatings- Product and Process Development

Coatings are used for a wide range of applications with formulations developed or adapted according to the needs specific to the surfaces they are used on- smoothness, brightness, scratch resistance are among these. Read more

Funded PhD Studentships at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience

 . The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience supports exceptional graduates into exciting research projects that aid the sustainable growth of the offshore wind industry. Read more

Funded Vice Chancellors Scholarships in Inclusive Engineering; People to Products (2 PhDs available)

Engineering is potentially the most important career in the world, influencing the lives of billions of people worldwide due to the enormous range of tools, equipment and products designed or created by engineers. Read more
