Vision-Language Foundation Models for Coral Reef Visual Understanding
*Please note that this PhD will be hosted at the University of Reading*. Over the last two decades, ecological monitoring of coral reefs has transitioned from traditional in-situ surveys to photographic transects and, more recently, to full 3-dimensional digital twins created through Structure-from-Motion.

Why diatoms produce palmitvaccenic acid?
Palmitvaccenic acid (16:1Δ11, PVA) is a fatty acid produced by organisms belonging to three distinct phylogenetic groups. microalgae, insects, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. Read more
Viral infection capacity across crustaceans of economic importance
Crustacean diseases cause economic damage to industry and the environment. Billions are lost on a yearly basis due to disease in crustacean aquaculture and, in wild systems, crustaceans commonly introduce disease-causing microbes as biological invaders. Read more
Conservation and restoration strategies for chalk streams in Cambridgeshire
PhD Studentship (Fee waiver and Bursary). School of Life Sciences. Cambridge Campus. Fixed term contract for 3 years, commencing September 2025. Read more
Enhancing Marine Biodiversity Through Repurposing Manmade Structures with Secondary Coastal Flood Defence Benefits
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. Manmade marine structures, such as decommissioned cooling water intake tunnels from power stations, represent significant infrastructural assets that can be repurposed to address pressing environmental challenges. Read more
Sensory and bioengineering approaches to predict hearing abilities in fish
This project aims to understand the factors responsible for the extraordinary diversity in the shape and size of fish ears and why some fishes are more sensitive to sound than others, which is poorly understood. Read more

Project at Aberystwyth University: Chronobiological changes in behaviour, development and immunity of salmon lice larvae (ChronoLice)
Background. The exciting PhD research project will help us understand the biology of sea lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis), a pervasive and damaging fish parasite that causes substantial animal welfare, environmental and economic damage by impacting aquaculture of salmon. Read more
Project at Brunel University of London: Antimicrobial Resistant Genes (ARG) & Pollutants – from Seabed to Seafood Platter
Project description. Municipal discharges and antibiotic use in aquaculture can lead to the enrichment of antimicrobial resistance genes (ARG) in aquatic ecosystems leading to contaminated fish entering the human food chain. Read more
