GREENCDT Evolution of properties of clay and mudstone rocks governing fluid flow in an Excavation Disturbed Zone around a geological disposal site for nuclear waste storage
The excavation disturbed zone (EDZ) is a zone of rock that has experienced enhanced stress relative to the ambient far-field stress field. Read more
Evolutionary Robotics: Generating diverse and functional robots by jointly optimising their body-plan and controllers.
Evolutionary Robotics is a field of research studying evolutionary algorithms (EA) to optimise both the controllers and the body-plan of robots. Read more
Optimised additively-manufactured structural components for sustainable and resilient future infrastructure
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-GV. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join our research group as a PhD candidate in the field of metal additive manufacturing. Read more
Measuring the elastic properties of single-crystal and composite materials
The elastic properties of solids are vital to understanding many physical phenomena, from the propagation of phonons to the dynamics of phase transitions. Read more
Representing dissipative processes in discrete models of materials
Solid materials have internal structures that appear as discrete collections of entities at any observable length scale. The engineering scale (macroscopic) behaviour of a material emerges from the interaction and evolution of these structures. Read more
Development of experimental and simulation capability for the analysis of thrust air foil bearing systems, including thermal studies
Oil-free turbomachinery (OFT) is an emerging technology defined as high speed rotating machinery operating without oil lubrication, relying instead on “air foil” bearings (AFBs, also known as gas foil bearings or foil air bearings). OFT research is motivated by technological and environmental benefits for diverse applications e.g. Read more
Improving the Material Point Method
Research Topic. The Material Point Method is a hybrid meshfree numerical method which is commonly used to solve challenging large deformation solid/fluids mechanics problems. Read more
Development of a parametric computational framework for the precise guidance and planning of radiofrequency ablation treatment of liver cancer
Project summary. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a thermal ablation therapy typically used in liver cancer treatment. It converts electrical energy into heat via the passing of electromagnetic waves in the radiofrequency range directly into the tumour. Read more
Modelling the Physics of Organ Growth
We are seeking a motivated candidate to join our biophysics group. The project will involve mechanical modeling (FEM) and 3D image analysis of growing plant organs. Read more
