Sustainable products & processes - help industry ditch the plastic and toxic chemicals
Material and energy used for making products can have significant adverse environmental, health and safety and or socioeconomic impacts. Read more
Deep learning assisted imaging analysis and upscaling (Digital Rock Manchester)
Multi-scale and dynamic imaging techniques have been demonstrated to be one of the powerful tools in materials characterisation. However, the images cannot always satisfy the scientific of industrial requirement. Read more
Multi-scale characterisation of the subsurface system for decarbonation energy (Digital Rock Manchester)
The subsurface system can act as a large-scale, low-cost and safe system for huge storage for either energy or waste, which provides provide important solutions to carbon management in order to tackle the global climate crisis and meet the Net-Zero target. Read more
Linking phytoremediation to energy crops for sustainable bioenergy and land restoration
This PhD project will investigate the potential of using energy crop species grown on contaminated land to combine sustainable bioenergy production with land restoration and pollution mitigation. Read more
Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more
Construction Quality Management in the Digital Age
The field of project management is fast-changing due to climate change and the widespread deployment of varying technologies. Construction projects nowadays face many more difficulties than they did over the past decades. Read more
Flood mitigation schemes in rural communities in the south west of England
There have been several severe flood events in southwest England in recent years, including Boscastle in 2004, Dawlish in 2014 and Coverack in 2014 and July 2017. Read more
Numerical simulation of Deflagration, Detonation and DDT in large scale inhomogeneous reactive mixtures
Demand for energy and petrochemical products has been on the raise in recent decades leading to huge production, transportation and storage infrastructures all around the world. Read more
3-year PhD studentship: “Techno-economic feasibility and life-cycle assessments of chemical recycling of plastic waste” - (ENG 1564)
Applications are invited for a fully funded 3-year PhD project in the area of chemical recycling of plastic waste in the Low Carbon Energy and Resources Technologies (LCERT) research group at the University of Nottingham. Read more
Mapping the resilience of green transport corridors to strong winds effects
Managing trees and plants alongside railways for the safety of passengers and railway workers whilst achieving a respectful balance to protect our lineside habitats is essential. Read more
Membrane based technology to intensify the sustainable production of chemicals
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
Project Description. In the context of net-zero and the current scenario of depleting fossil resources, glycerol from biodiesel is a widely generated by-product. Read more
Integral valorisation of waste biomass to obtain bioactive compounds and furans
Research Group:
Catalysis and Porous Materials
The project. The biorefinery concept has been gaining momentum in the last years as many countries have adopted policies and national strategies to steer towards a biobased economy. Read more
Development of Recovered Fly Ash and Ternary Cements for Low Carbon Concrete Infrastructure
This fully funded industry/Scottish Research Partnership in Engineering project aims to develop practical and economic low carbon concrete. Read more
