The expected remaining lifetime of the UK’s Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) will result in the generation of ~5,000t of AGR Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF). Read more
The UK has a substantial inventory of separated plutonium from its historical reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel. The Government’s preferred option for this is re-use as a Mixed uranium-plutonium OXide (MOX) fuel. Read more
The safe storage of the UK’s nuclear legacy is one of the key aims for Sellafield. Part of that legacy, Magnox reactors were fuelled using uranium metal rods clad in a magnesium-aluminium alloy. Read more
Background. The UK and the World are rapidly shifting towards multi-energy systems, such as districts and industrial parks with large amounts of renewable electricity, renewable heating & cooling, clean fuels (e.g. Read more
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a secure encryption key sharing protocol that addresses potential vulnerabilities in encryption key sharing and encrypted data storage. Read more
We propose designing a holistic synthetic aperture radar maritime target recognition optimisation using evolutionary algorithms as shown in the graphical abstract. Read more
This project will develop quantum light sources operating at room temperature by using nanophotonics to deliver a practical quantum technology. Read more
Metal-halide perovskite based solar cells have now achieved a light to electricity conversion efficiency of 26.1%, making them the leading emerging thin-film solar cell material. Read more
A 3.5 year EPSRC DTP-funded PhD studentship in the department of Engineering under the supervision of Professor Cyril Crua. Available for September 2024 entry. Read more
This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers.
