Efficient In Silico Trials for Bone Diseases
The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering at the University of Sheffield is recruiting for a PhD position associated with the EPSRC funded New Investigator Award BONESFE. Read more
Biomechanics of internal fixation methods for ankle fusion
Ankle fusion is a common treatment for advanced ankle arthritis to relieve pain and improve functional outcomes. However, there is a reported non-union rate of 5-37%, requiring further surgery or an ankle replacement. Read more
Implementing a new locomotion controller for robots with wheels and legs
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In most robot applications robots are entirely built with one method of locomotion either wheels or joints. However, for the most complex environments, more than one method of locomotion is required for a robot to transverse that environment. Read more
Real-Time Brain Injury Prediction and Protection Framework for Intelligent Vehicles
The advancement of intelligent vehicles (IVs) has significantly improved their collision avoidance capabilities under normal driving conditions, yet the complete prevention of accidents remains elusive. Read more
SELF-FUNDED 3.5-YEAR PHD – Automatic segmentation of femur using deep learning combined with phantomless calibration for rapid personalised fracture risk predictions in clinical applications
We are excited to announce a new PhD opportunity in the areas of modelling, biomechanics & deep learning. The project is in collaboration with multiple NHS Trusts including the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Read more
Interaction between medical materials and skin
This project will build on previous research within the department to characterise and understand the interaction between medical materials and skin such as gloves, incontinence pads, masks and dressings. Read more
Engineered Timber In Fire
Engineered timber construction is being pioneered as a key alternative to the environmentally unsustainable dependence of the construction industry on concrete and steel. Read more
Cold-formed Steel In Fire
Nowadays, light-gauge structures, made of cold-formed steel, have become increasingly popular due to factors such as cost and weight economy, sustainability, processes, the growth of powerful methods of analysis, etc. Read more
Sustainable Concrete In Fire
The development of waste-based concrete is urgently needed to improve the sustainability of concrete construction, as well as to reduce waste. Read more
Low carbon hybrid timber-steel structures in fire
The built environment is one of the largest producers of carbon emissions, responsible for around 38% of global emissions. Hybrid timber-steel structures utilise a traditional steel frame but use Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for floor slabs which have the potential to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment.

Slope Instability in Tropical Soils
Globally, the effects of climate change and rapid urbanisation have dramatically increased the risk of landslide occurrences (Ozturk et al., 2022). Read more

Hydrogen production impacts for drought resilience planning
A reliable water supply and a successful energy transition are two necessary conditions for a sustainable future. Yet we know little about how the switch to intermittent renewables (wind, solar) for our energy supply will affect the future operation of our water infrastructure. Read more
