EPSRC - Light-coupled NMR to design novel photo-driven chemistry and materials
Over the last decade, visible light-driven chemistry has come to the forefront of modern organic synthesis, chemical biology, and materials science, providing a powerful platform through which to rapidly construct new and complex molecules. Read more
Modelling and Computation for Radiation Chemistry at Interfaces
This project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between Mathematics and Chemistry. Real-world applications include safe radioactive wate disposal, plutonium stewardship and radiation based cancer care. Read more
Biocatalytic Synthesis and Degradation of Organosilicon Compounds
In synthetic chemistry, there has been increasing prominence in the use of engineered enzymes to execute chemical transformations. Read more
Developing novel light-induced in-situ Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) methods
Light-induced in-situ Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) studies are a growing field in both continuous wave and pulsed EPR. It can be used to monitor photoactivated chemical and biochemical reactions involving radical reagents, projects or intermediates. Read more
Plasma-coupled Electro-catalysis
This is a unique and cutting-edge PhD research opportunity in the multidisciplinary field of materials chemistry and electro-catalysis for a student with… Read more
Electro-catalysis over 2D material
This is a unique and cutting-edge PhD research opportunity in the multidisciplinary field of materials chemistry and electro-catalysis for a student with a strong background in chemistry / electrochemistry interested in applying knowledge and developing innovative 2D electro-catalysts for carbon dioxide utilization and ammonia electrosynthesis. Read more
Optimising the delivery of light into Electron Paramagnetic Resonance samples
Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) is a magnetic resonance method that can be used to study any systems containing unpaired electrons. Read more
Rational design of photo/electrocatalysts towards Green Nitrogen Fixation and Ammonia Production
In an era marked by the urgent need for sustainable solutions, this project stands at the forefront of innovation in catalysis, focusing on the rational design of photo/electrocatalysts for nitrogen fixation and ammonia production. Read more
Functional Antifouling Electroactive Interfaces for Electrochemical Biosensing
Information on this PhD research area can be found further down this page under the details about the Widening Participation Scholarship given immediately below. Read more
Selective Extraction of Radiotherapeutic Metals for Targeted Alpha Cancer Therapy
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Nuclear fission produces radioactive isotopes that are considered as waste and are currently disposed. Read more
Synthetic and Mechanistic Studies into Enzymatic Degradation of Waste Plastics
Plastics are a broad range of solid polymeric materials that have found widespread application globally. However, there has been a steady accumulation of discarded plastics and there is now growing awareness that they present a significant hazard to the natural environment and human health. Read more
Antimicrobial dressings that use invisible light to fight wound infection
Complex wounds (e.g. leg ulcers) are a common condition that produces high levels of morbidity. With >1.6 per 1000 of the UK population affected by complex wounds at any one time, the estimated annual cost to the NHS is >£5 billion. Read more
Understanding biomolecule controls on mineral transformations and biogeochemical cycles
Project overview. Minerals play a pivotal role in shaping Earth's biogeochemical cycles, exerting control over the mobility, speciation and (bio)availability of key nutrients, pollutants and technology-critical elements. Read more
Investigating the cardio-pulmonary impact of airborne nanoplastics
There is growing evidence that humans are exposed to incidental microplastics and nanoplastics (MNPL) particles through inhalation and that the small size of these particles may allow for bioaccumulation and retention in the body. Read more
Using Natural Language Processing and molecular simulations to build polymer databases
A fully funded PhD position in multiscale modelling of polymer composites is available in the group of Professor Carbone at the University of Manchester from October 2024. Read more
