This project will develop fast detection systems to provide the first real-time gas sensing and imaging in the terahertz (THz) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Read more
Pollard Institute: Control of terahertz lasers using sound
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Applicants are sought for a funded PhD position investigating the acoustic control of terahertz frequency quantum cascade lasers (THz QCLs). Read more
Pollard Institute: Topological insulator plasmonics
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Topological insulators (TIs) are a recently discovered new type of material. Although their bulk is insulating, they have highly conductive surface states that are almost free from scattering even at room temperature, through a process known as topological protection. Read more
Sustainable and reusable structural systems for infrastructures in a Net-Zero society
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
This project will develop sustainable structural systems for infrastructures that can effectively facilitate the transformation for the Net-zero target. Read more
Climate compatible decision making in the UK construction sector
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Global demand for concrete has grown 3-fold and steel 2-fold over the last 10 years. Both are responsible for approximately 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), 75% of which is associated with buildings and infrastructure. . Read more
BCAST/ Investigation of deformation modes in the development of manufacturing-induced property enhanced AA6xxx series Aluminium Alloys
Constellium are leading the way for automotive lightweighting of the future generations of sustainable vehicles by the development of high strength AA6xxx series aluminium extrusion alloys with tensile yield strength (Rp0.2) above 400MPa and >10% elongation. Read more
Leading infrastructure projects in the face of climate challenges
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The aim of this PhD project is to generate insights on project leadership in the face of global climate challenges. Infrastructure development and renewal projects are critical to the achievement of Net Zero targets and the creation of a resilient future. Read more
Manipulation of skyrmions with tailored acoustic potentials
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Magnetic skyrmions are nanoscale spin textures with a non-zero topological charge that appear in some condensed matter systems such as magnetic multilayers. … Read more
Incorporating Knowledge Management into the Planning of Infrastructure Projects
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
Infrastructure projects are typically complex and dynamic, in which the design of operations and construction methods can play a significant role in the successful delivery of such mega projects in terms of key objectives such as schedule, cost, environmental, and safety performance. Read more

Funding providers. Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Swansea University's Faculty of Science and Engineering. Read more
Single-Molecule Biophysics: Flow Molecular Dynamics simulation under shear condition for thrombosis and haemophilia study
Clotting and bleeding are two sides of a coin, leading to cardiovascular diseases such as stroke and haemophilia—the No.1 worldwide killer. Read more
Develop single-cell biomechanical nanotools for novel cardiovascular mechanobiology and cancer immunotherapy
In view of the high complexity and dynamics of protein complexes that perform important physiological functions, it is difficult to visualise and characterise their kinetic and signaling processes on single living cells using traditional biochemical and biophysical techniques. Read more
Develop point-of-care microfluidic and bioprinting technologies for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Excessive clotting (thrombosis) leads to the cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke—the No.1 world-wide killer, killing one Australian every 12 minutes. Read more
A novel computational biomechanics framework to model vascular mechanopropagation and single cell mechanosensing
The mechanical stimuli generated by body exercise can be transmitted from cortical bone into the deep bone marrow. A mechanosensitive perivascular stem cell niche is recently identified within the bone marrow for osteogenesis and lymphopoiesis. Read more
