Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Sheffield

We have 51 Chemistry PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Sheffield

Computational modelling of mineral-organic binding in soil

Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). there is three times as much carbon stored in soil than in the atmosphere as CO. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr N Martsinovich
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Computational modelling of two-dimensional graphene-based materials

Graphene is a novel material with outstanding electronic and mechanical properties. Chemical modification of graphene gives rise to new materials, such as graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide, with properties very distinct from graphene and with possible applications in photocatalysis and batteries. Read more

New macro-ligands for protein binding, and drug delivery.

Proteins bind and recognise each other using large surface areas. This recognition process is vital for a variety of biological applications. Read more

Computational modelling of chemical interactions in soil

This project will use atomic-scale computational modelling to understand chemical processes in soil. Soils contain large amounts of organic matter (also called “soil organic carbon”). Read more

Dendrimers for Drug delivery

We have worked with a number of water soluble polymer systems capable of encapsulating and solubilising various hydrophobic drug moieties. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr L Twyman
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Magnetic Nano-particles for the separation and purification of proteins

When proteins are synthesised (using a natural or cell-based method), they are contaminated with hundreds of other proteins, nucleic acids and numerous other small molecules. Read more

Synthesis of Artificial blood

Inspired by Nature, we have developed a number of porphyrin containing biomimetic macromolecules. These have included a porphyrin cored polymer capable of reversibly binding oxygen. Read more

Development of new Gaussian basis sets for the lanthanides

Molecules containing lanthanide elements are currently of strong interest due to their use in fields such as catalysis, magnets, imaging, battery technologies and ultra-cold chemistry. Read more

Synthesis of Artificial blood

Inspired by Nature, we have developed a number of porphyrin containing biomimetic macromolecules. These have included a porphyrin cored polymer capable of reversibly binding oxygen. As such, these molecules have the potential to be applied as a plastic or artificial blood product. Read more

Dendrimers for Drug delivery

We have worked with a number of water soluble polymer systems capable of encapsulating and solubilising various hydrophobic drug moieties. Despite the formation of stable complexes, we have demonstrated that encapsulated drug can also be released. Read more

Synthesis of Peptidomimetics Based on Functionalizable Freidinger Lactams

Despite mediating a plethora of vital biological processes in living organisms, peptides remain a challenging class of drug targets due to their poor cell penetration, proteolytic instability and unfavourable pharmacokinetics. Read more
