New flow chemistry methods to access energetic materials of hexaazaisowurtzitane structures
Within the proposed programme of research, alternative starting materials for the flow chemical synthesis of the hexaazaisowurtzitane structure will be explored. Read more
Novel Structured Surface Coatings for Protection from Chemical, Biological and Radiological Agents
This 4-year fully funded EPSRC PhD studentship offers the unique and exciting opportunity to work with the MOD (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory… Read more
Natural Product Synthesis
Project Summary. This PhD studentship will be focused on the biomimetic total synthesis of complex natural products. The chemical feasibility of proposed biosynthetic pathways towards biologically active diterpene structures will be investigated. Read more
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership
The Oxford Interdisciplinary Bioscience Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) programme is a 4-year DPhil*/PhD programme that aims to equip a new generation of researchers with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the most important challenges in bioscience research. Read more
“Staggarenes” – synthesis of new extended aromatic materials (CAMMIDGEA_U23SF)
Extended aromatic systems are crucial organic materials and the general class includes discrete materials such as fullerenes through to high order 2D (graphene) and curved (e.g. Read more
Brightness-enhancing solid-state technology for excitation application in masers (Advert Reference: RDF22-R/EE/MPEE/SATHIAN)
The MASER was preceded by the laser and works by Amplified Stimulated Emission of Radiation but at Microwave rather than optical frequencies. Read more
A mechanism-led approach to reaction prediction
Background. The ab initio prediction of chemical behaviour has long been a holy grail for synthetic chemists as it will allow the targeting of the most efficient pathways to prepare high value commodity compounds. Read more
Supramolecular sensors for neurotransmitters
Neurological diseases are a leading cause of disability worldwide. Neurotransmitters (e.g. dopamine) are key molecules in neuronal communication, making their detection and quantification vital for medical diagnostics and therapeutics. Read more
Topological molecules for semiconducting materials
Lightweight and flexible, organic semiconducting materials are integral to next-generation electronic devices, including wearable sensors and foldable displays. Read more
Using novel ferronucleosides to study and regulate DNA replication in cells
Background. Replication of nucleic acid polymers like DNA is an essential process for all known forms of life. Furthermore, dysregulation and errors in DNA-replication are strongly linked with human diseases including cancer, as well as the process of cellular ageing. Read more
Exploring bacterial enzymes as new targets for treating infectious disease
The Ferrier Institute has established a world-class reputation in nature-inspired synthetic carbohydrate chemistry and analysis and has extended its expertise into the areas of synthetic and chemical biology, chemical immunology, and natural product isolation. Read more
Development of manufacturing methods for scale up of novel structural battery architectures.
Current structural batteries research, as part of ongoing AAPS/GKN PhD projects, has identified that current state of the art carbon fibre structural battery architectures need to be revised as using a layered approach places too much physical distance between anode and cathode which slows ion transfer and reduces battery performance.

Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis for the Functionalisation of Complex Organic Molecules
A 3.5-year PhD studentship is currently available in the Silvi research group and the recruitment process is officially opened for to fill the vacant position as soon as possible. Read more
Mechanochemistry with mechanical bonds
Any force developed at the macroscopic scale can induce dramatic changes at the molecular scale, even breaking covalent bonds.[1] Indeed, mechanical force is a formidable source of energy that, with its ability to distort, bend and stretch chemical bonds, is unique in its ability to promote reaction pathways that are otherwise inaccessible to traditional methods of activation.

Computational Modelling of Organic Reaction Mechanisms
Loughborough University has seen 94% of our research impact rated as ‘world-leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
