Rational design of heterogeneous catalysts for sustainable applications
This project aims to rationally design sustainable and cost-effective heterogeneous catalysts for fine chemical manufacturing by combining experimental and computational methods. Read more
Blowing in the wind. Tracing the transport of diatoms to Antarctic ice cores
Project overview . The Westerly Winds are among the main drivers of climate variability in the Southern Hemisphere. This PhD will contribute to the development of a novel Antarctic ice core proxy for reconstructing past westerly wind changes. Read more
Luminescent Sensing and Destruction of Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) using Lanthanide Complexes
Project overview. Polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), are a family of man-made substances known as ‘forever chemicals’, which persist for decades in nature. Read more
Removal of emerging micropollutants from wastewater in biofilm reactors
PhD Supervisor: Yongqiang Liu. Project description. Emerging micropollutants, encompassing a spectrum from pharmaceutical residues and personal care products to industrial chemicals, have been found in water sources worldwide. Read more
InSpiring the TRansition to a low carbon society Using Music (STRUM)
Supervisory Team. Prof Ian Williams, Dr Erin Johnson-Williams. Climate Change is one of the most pressing global challenges facing society today. Read more
Ocean’s Methane sensing using novel surface plasmon resonance technology
Supervisory Team: Rand Ismaeel, Matthew Mowlem. Project description. Ocean monitoring is a critical need, and it is closely related to human survival. Read more
Advanced sensors for planetary missions & astrophysics
Co-Supervisors. Professor Nathalie Wheeler, Professor Radan Slavik. Read more
Systems for effective and sustainable resource management at hospitals
Supervisory team. Prof Ian Williams, Prof Peter Shaw. Hospital waste management is an important environmental and public safety issue, due to the infectious, toxic or hazardous nature of the waste. 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
The effects of pollution on coral reef fishes
Project Overview. There are over 350,000 synthetic chemicals in production many with no environmental risk assessment for tropical fish species. Read more
Unravelling the Mystery of Mesopelagic Carbon Cycling by Microbes
Project overview. Marine microbes are key drivers of biogeochemical cycling. Assessment of their activities, so-far mostly done by shipboard incubations, are prone to artefacts from inevitable changes in incubation conditions. Read more
Keeping up with ocean change: Using robots to push the envelope in ocean carbon observing
Project overview. Ocean robots (sensors and vehicles) can offer the spatial and temporal coverage required to observe ocean acidification and the rapidly changing carbon cycle. Read more
Breaking Rhododendron: understanding the drivers of rhododendron success
Project overview . Rhododendron is destroying natural habitats across the UK and efforts are required to better control and manage its spread. Read more
The biogeochemical impacts and implications of seaweed deposition as a marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) approach
Project overview. This project will characterise the impacts of Sargassum degradation on deep-sea biogeochemical processes and determine the fate of products released into the environment to help evaluate the potential efficacy and effects of seaweed deposition as a marine Carbon Dioxide Removal (mCDR) technique. . Read more
A mechanistic understanding of how chemical contaminants affect marine invertebrates, using a common jellyfish as a model.
Project overview. Ecosystems are widely impacted by anthropogenic activities, including the release of chemicals. Scyphozoan jellyfish, in particular the common jellyfish Aurelia spp., are widespread in coastal environments subjected to a range of natural and anthropogenic stressors. Read more
