Development of solar concentrator for hydrogen production in solar thermochemical water-splitting cycle
The UK has set an ambitious commitment of achieving net zero by 2050. Low carbon hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in the next few decades. Read more
Unravelling the global microbiome of crop plants to improve sustainability and food security
Plants live in close association with complex communities of microbes which together constitute their ‘microbiome’. The microbiome interacts with the plant in numerous ways; some microbes are beneficial and promote plant growth, while others are pathogens which reduce crop yields. Read more
System hardware modifications for high energy X-ray computed tomography scatter correction
This project will study hardware-based approaches to control X-ray scatter in high energy XCT systems assemblies using a novel beamstop array design to estimate the scattered signal. . Read more
Building resilient offshore infrastructure: centrifuge modelling of submarine landslides (C3.5-MAC-Leonardi)
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
Novel photoswitches for energy storage
This project will focus on the development of novel photoswitches for converting solar energy into heat storage with on-demand release. . Read more
Exploring Hardware Security for Approximate Computing
The growing demand for low-power, high-performance computing systems has accelerated the development of a new paradigm called ‘Approximate Computing’, which often surpasses traditional architectures in efficiency. Read more
Millennia of sea-level rise awaits: Quantifying spatial uncertainty
Background. Sea-level rise presents one of the greatest environmental challenges for the global community. However, there is deep uncertainty in future projections beyond 2100. Read more
Satellite assessment of coastal hazards: compound effects of wind, waves and sea level on the England South Coast.
