Understanding deformation of 3D printed cement-based composites involving alternative binders
To ensure the practical viability of 3D printed structures in engineering applications, the mitigation of crack formation under diverse loads and environmental conditions is imperative. Read more
Modelling and Analysis Methods for Satellite Aerodynamics in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)
Operation of spacecraft in very low Earth orbits (VLEO), those below 450 km in altitude, is becoming more commonplace. Read more
Waste Utilisation for Sustainable Resource Recovery and Carbon Capture
This project will involve the development of a novel approach that combines waste utilization and carbon capture technologies to address pressing environmental concerns and promote sustainable resource management. Read more
Fur and Feathers: colour, structure and flow control
The objective in this exciting cross-disciplinary project is to investigate the potential of a bio-inspired coating of flexible devices to passively modify energetic modes of an unsteady crossflow and to assess, for the first time, the role of colour in determining mechanical properties. Read more
Analysis of the evolution of cementitious materials
The chemical reactions within the binder component, and the changes in microstructure and phase composition during this process, are important factors that affect the performance of concrete. Read more
Assessment of Soft Magnetic Properties in Amorphous/Nanocrystalline High-Entropy Alloys through Magnetic Mechanism Modulation aimed at Next-Generation Electrical Machines
A key priority of the UK’s sustainability agenda is zero carbon emissions by 2050. To reach this objective, projections suggest that by 2030, 43% of cars on UK roads need to be electrically powered. Read more
System Engineering and Mathematical Programming
Distillation is one of the most commonly applied unit operations in the process industry, with significant capital and operation costs. Read more
Distributed active reinforcement learning for multi-agent planning and control
With the rapid development of network-connected systems, coordination and cooperation among the subsystems/agents have become increasingly important and powerful in many control and robotics applications. Read more

PhD in Soundscapes, Environmental or Neighbour Noise
Research Group:
Acoustics Research Centre
Noise is the second most harmful environmental pollutant according to the World Health Organisation. It is also “neglected” and in need of more research according to a 2023 House of Lords Report. Read more
Thermal hydraulics modelling of low-pressure, light water-cooled Small Modular Reactors
The Low-Pressure Water Reactor (LPWR) is a 300MW(e) pool-type water-cooled Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design in which the nuclear core is located at the bottom of a deep underground shaft instead of inside a pressure vessel. Read more
Simulation of tissue regeneration processes by lattice Boltzmann method
Summary. Wound healing is a fundamental biological process essential for the maintenance of tissue integrity and overall health. However, the mechanisms underlying wound healing remain complex and multifaceted. Read more
