Stoichiometric and kinetic modelling of multiple chemical reactions from laboratory data
The fine chemical and pharmaceutical industries have always focussed on new product development as a means of growth, with time to market being a critical success factor. Read more
Scaling up next generation immortal catalysts for transforming the chemical industry.
Natural gas it is an abundant and versatile energy source, helping meet growing demand for energy globally. Up to 50% of natural gas is being used as feedstock for chemical synthesis of many important base chemicals such as ammonia and methanol. Read more
Techno-economic assessment of renewable hydrogen production via chemical-looping reforming of biogas
Clean and carbon-free hydrogen production is expected to play a vital role in future global energy transitions. Biogas is an interesting renewable biomass resource for hydrogen production due to its sustainable nature. . Read more
PhD Studentship in Chemical Engineering: Development of mixed ionic-electronic oxide ceramics for energy conversion and storage devices
Finding economically attractive, renewable, sustainable, and minimum carbon electrochemical devices, such as electrolysers to produce green hydrogen and fuel cells to generate electricity, is pivotal to meet our energy demand and thus essential to sustain our society today. Read more
Numerical investigation of conjugate heat transfer during interaction of high-Hydrogen content flames with cooled walls using Direct Numerical Simulations
Wall-bounded turbulent flows have been studied extensively under isothermal conditions and principally from the point of view of drag reduction. Read more
Development of a novel biocomposite-integrated thin film reactor for the intensification of biosolar energy-driven gas clean-up processing
This proposed project seeks to establish an entirely new, scalable, solar energy driven microbial gas absorber technology by a novel combination of advanced photoreactive biocomposite materials, experimental thin film absorber design and modelling approaches. Read more
Investigation of convective and conjugate heat transfer for different jet configurations using Direct Numerical Simulations
In this project, we propose to conduct Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of hot jets in turbulent flows, including channel cross flow at different friction Reynolds numbers and impinging jets, using different thermal wall boundary conditions along with conjugate heat transfer (CHT) wall boundary condition.

Developing a Suite of Models for Integrated Dynamic Simulation of Chemical Process Plant (Digital Twins)
The aim of this PhD is to develop a suite of dynamic models and associated configuration tools that can be integrated to mimic whole process plants. Read more
Functional Biopolymer-based Composite Materials
Natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides (e.g. chitin/chitosan, cellulose, starch, and alginate) and proteins are widely available, biodegradable, biocompatible, chemically versatile, and inherently functional and thus have huge potential in developing advanced functional materials. . Read more
Technoeconomic and environmental investigation of novel pathways to recover metals from lithium ion batteries
The PhD researcher joining this project will investigate chemical and biotechnology routes to recover metal ions from batteries. Bioleaching is a promising technology because it can be operated at ambient conditions and does not require addition of chemicals. Read more
Improving management of Parkinson’s disease with polymer-based wearable technologies
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an incurable and progressive neurological disorder, which is growing fast in prevalence due to an ageing population. Read more
Mobile gasification unit for pharmaceutical waste
A report by the Department of Health estimates that unused medicines cost the NHS around £300 million every year, with an estimated £110 million worth of medicine returned to pharmacies, £90 million worth of unused prescriptions being stored in homes and around £50 million worth of medicines disposed of by Care Homes. . Read more
FunPrint: Recipes for Functional 3D Printable resins for heat transfer
Many applications require cooling to function correctly. Read more
Real-time optimisation control of batch processes
Batch processes are widely used in the pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, and food industry for the responsive agile manufacturing of high value added products. Read more
Solution-Processed Organic Polymer for Energy Storage (RENU23-R/EE/MPEE/THUMMAVICHAI)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
