Hidden black holes and the search for self-lensing binaries

Supervisory Team: Dr Matthew Middleton. Project description. Binary systems containing high mass stars evolve through a number of stages, and in many cases can appear as a black hole or neutron star orbiting at a large distance from a ‘normal’ companion star. Read more

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD. In this PhD project you will integrate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with an LFI platform for POC diagnostics using size-controlled Raman reporter-tagged gold nanoparticle clusters. Read more

Fundamental Electromagnetics: Foundational Theories of Electricity and Magnetism relating to Charged Particle Interactions

Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD. Charged particle dynamics (also known as charged particle optics) is concerned with the interactions of charged particles (e.g., electrons, protons, ions) within an electric and/or magnetic field. Read more

Bio-inspired Systems, Neuromorphic Hardware, Unconventional Computing

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Applicants are invited in one, or a combination of, the following areas. Bio-inspired Systems. Wonders in Nature, including our own brains, have fascinated scientists and en- gineers for decades if not centuries. Read more

Fully funded PhD Scholarship in Memristive Technologies

Duration of study. Full time - 4 years fixed term. Starting date. Flexible, available from December 2023. Application deadline. No closing date, the position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found. Read more

Computational Light Microscopy — Making the Invisible Visible

Light is a most versatile tool to study life. Optical microscopy opens a unique window into the inner workings of biological development without interfering with its delicate processes. Read more

Understanding how electrical communication can regulate metabolic cycles in bacteria biofilms

Project Overview. A biofilm is a robust form of bacteria colony resistant to antibiotics. They have significant impacts on a multitude of industries impacting health and industrial processes such as in food production and water security. Read more

Plasma-based gas conversion into value-added chemicals

  Research Group: Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasmas are promising technology for the conversion of gases such as CO2, CH4 or N2 into more valuable ones, e.g. CO (starting material for alcohols and hydrocarbons), H2 (clean fuel applications) and NH3 (fertilisers). Read more

Super-optical resolution imaging using a phonon probe microscope - (ENG 1758)

This exciting opportunity is based within the Optics and Photonics Research Group at the Faculty of Engineering (FoE), University of Nottingham which conducts cutting-edge research into the development of imaging technology for biomedical applications. Read more

Cancer cell diagnostics using biomechanics and artificial intelligence - (ENG 1759)

This exciting opportunity is based within the Optics and Photonics Research Group at the Faculty of Engineering (FoE), University of Nottingham which conducts cutting-edge research into the development of technology for biomedical applications. Read more

Miniature Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry (MS) and ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) are versatile analytical techniques that allow general-purpose chemical detection and measurement. Read more

Studying strong interaction with polarised probes

  Research Group: Nuclear Physics
The focus of this project is to exploit the world’s leading electromagnetic (EM) beam facility (MAMI) to elucidate the fundamental nature of hadrons, nuclei and nuclear matter. Read more

In Situ Multimodal Imaging of Crystallisation

  Research Group: Condensed matter and materials physics
This project will use advanced electron and X-ray microscopy in situ liquid cell techniques to gain new insights into the mineralisation process of biomimetic model systems. Read more

Exploring medical isotopes production with the photon beams

  Research Group: Healthcare Engineering
There is a growing demand for radioactive isotopes to be employed both in treatment and diagnostics. Suitable isotopes need to be producable in sufficiently large quantities and at affordable price. Read more

Altermagnetism. A new phase for Spin

  Research Group: Condensed matter and materials physics
Recently, there have been observations in which phenomena typical of ferromagnets are accompanied by order that would normally be associated with antiferromagnets. Read more

Understanding the evolution of gene regulatory networks through biophysical modelling and machine learning

The ability to coordinate the expression of genes within a cell is at the heart of life. When and how much of a specific gene is turned into a protein is essential for organisms to respond to their environment and to manage resources. Read more

Developing a Systematic Food Texture Characterisation Methodology for Advanced Manufacturing

Food texture is related to the way our senses perceive and feel the rheological and mechanical properties of edible substances. For example, a potato chip is crispy; an apple is crunchy; butter is soft; bread is firm; candy is hard; yogurt is smooth; cream is thick; cake is moist, and honey is sticky. Read more
