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
Multifunctional Chemical Probes for Molecular Mapping of Cellular and Subcellular Protein Networks
This project provides an annual stipend of £19,237. Project advert. Understanding the interactions between proteins and their neighbours within an unperturbed biological environment is a significant technical issue in drug discovery and fundamental disease research. 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
Targeting glycans on the outside of cells, as new therapeutics
Most drugs have intracellular targets (proteins etc). This creates a barrier to how to target a cell, and then get the drug inside the cell. Read more
Characterising human sebum using NMR approaches
We have recently shown that skin secretions in particular sebum, has a critical diagnostic role in other diseases unrelated directly to the skin. Read more
New Degradable Polymers for Biotechnology
Extremophiles have evolved to survive in the world’s coldest environments, through the production of specialised macromolecules, such as antifreeze proteins and ‘ice nucleating proteins. Read more
Development of ceramic thermal and environmental barrier coatings for high temperature applications
Research Group:
Coatings and Ceramics
Ceramic coatings are vital in high-temperature applications, especially in aero-engines and the power generation industry. These coatings increase the engine’s operating temperature to improve efficiency and reduce the engine’s environmental impact. Read more
Peptide controlled growth of photoactive lead halide perovskite materials for solar and photodetector applications
Lead halide perovskites have shown tremendous promise as materials for novel photovoltaics with exceptionally high efficiencies and low cost manufacture, but their application is limited due to the inherent stability of the materials. Read more
New optical techniques for non-destructive sensing and monitoring
Technical paints provide essential corrosion protection to our infrastructure, which is vital to ensure public safety and drive down the unacceptable economic and carbon cost associated with the replacement of metals. 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
Organic coatings microstructure: insights from molecular simulations
Watching paint dry can be fascinating. Painting a room can make it aesthetically pleasing, but paints can do much more than just please the eyes. Read more
Investigating Nanoscale Network Polymer Degradation
Research Group:
Polymers and Composites
Network polymers are widely deployed as the matrix in structural composites and high-performance pigmented protective coatings. Surprisingly however, many fundamental aspects of how the properties and structure of these materials degrade upon exposure to the environment remains unknown. Read more
Alumina based ceramic nanocomposites through lean electrolytic plasma processing of Al alloys
We welcome applications from candidates to work with our interdisciplinary and collaborative team on a project on research and development of innovative surface treatments of advanced engineering materials. Read more
