Near-wall domain decomposition for turbulence modelling based on RANS-LES
For many years, the resolution of the near-wall turbulent layer has been a hot topic in fluid dynamics. Near-wall turbulence modelling is a computationally expensive problem. Read more
Advancing hyperpolarised solid-state NMR spectroscopy for materials science
This PhD project is open to a wide range of research directions, depending on the interests and abilities of the candidate. The main topic will concern the application and development of methods for advanced NMR investigations of hyperpolarised solids. Read more
Sensing technology for Net Zero – addressing the challenges of floating offshore electricity transmission
Offshore wind energy is central to UK’s ambition of transitioning to a sustainable future electricity grid. The growth in power generation from floating wind turbines is increasingly further away from shore and utilising the floating wind turbine support structures. 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
Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing
During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
Enhancing mixing and reaction in porous media with viscoelastic instabilities
Many industrial processes involve the mixing and reaction of non-Newtonian fluids in complex geometrical configurations. Often in such settings, the geometric confinement or high fluid viscosities suppresses inertial turbulence, and the mixing it promotes. Read more
Development of Graphene-enhanced Concrete for Real Life Construction Applications
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world with an annual consumption of over 10 billion cubic meters. Cement, which is the most carbon intensive constituent in concrete that contributes to about 80% of the total embodied carbon of concrete. Read more
Application of machine learning algorithms to medical images and clinical/DNA data
This project will develop an automated classifier or the estimation of prognosis of the illness using medical images of the human body, clinical data, and gene information. Read more
Catalytic cascade reactions for sustainable chemicals
A catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed, offering greater energy efficiency relative to non-catalytic pathways. Read more
Catalytic recycling of polyester plastics to monomers
Plastics are ubiquitous in modern society, finding widespread applications due to possessing optimal physical and chemical properties. Read more
