BuildZero: Circular economy for the UK’s buildings sector
This 3.5-year PhD project will explore the extent to which the circular economy could meet the UK’s building needs using zero new material extraction, zero emissions and zero waste. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim of project. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Read more
User-centred Assistance Control in Physical Human-Robot Collaboration: A Predictive Model-Based Approach
In the realm of human-robot collaboration, the precise recognition of human intentions is pivotal for robots to understand user needs and offer natural, effective assistance. Read more
Characterisation and Modelling of Veined Rocks: Integrity, Deformation, and Fluid Flow
The Faculty of Science and Engineering of the University of Manchester is looking for a highly motivated student to undertake an exciting PhD project on fractured/veined rocks. Read more
Advancing Sustainable Concrete Production through Industrial Solid Waste Utilization and Carbon Sequestration
This project will focus on the utilisation of industrial solid wastes in concrete formulations by implementing advanced carbonation techniques and further developing methods to enhance reaction mechanisms. Read more
Mechanical metamaterials for impact protection
Aim. Optimisation of mechanical metamaterials to reduce impact severity. Summary. Mechanical metamaterials are engineered to have properties that cannot be achieved with their unstructured, intrinsic constituents. 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
Skyrmionic Devices for Neuromorphic Computing
Future integrated systems will comprise considerably heterogeneous/hybrid technologies both for computing and (on-chip) data storage. Read more
Laser spectroscopy of isotopes for nuclear environments
Measurements of isotopes and isotope ratios are important in many areas of science and engineering including the nuclear industry, nuclear forensics, environmental sciences and also in medicine. Read more
Fuel Retention and Release Mechanisms in Breeder Blanket Materials for Nuclear Fusion Devices
With climate change driving a desire to move towards a low-carbon/carbon-free energy landscape, power generated from nuclear fusion offers a high-capacity, baseload electricity generation for the future. Read more
Advancement and Application of Microwave and Radar Techniques for Non-Destructive Testing
With the growing use of non-metallic structural materials, such as glass fibre-reinforced plastic in the marine and renewable energy sectors and polymers for instance, high-density polyethylene in pipelines, non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of these materials is becoming a growing and pressing challenge. Read more
Novel diagnostics to assess the impact of turbulent flow in cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Recently, turbulence in blood flow has been linked with cardiovascular disease progression, however the underlying turbulence-related mechanisms are not well understood. Read more
Metamaterials for catalysis
A meta-atom is an engineered sub-wavelength structure that, when periodically arranged like an atomic lattice, enable optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical functionalities not seen in conventional designs. Read more
Illegal water use: assessing the extent, drivers, and solutions in irrigated agriculture
Agriculture is the largest sectoral user of freshwater globally (UN, 2018). Yet, most countries do not monitor the amount of water used by farmers (Foster et al., 2020). Read more
