Scalable, Multifunctional, Advanced, Reliable and Tuneable (SMART) Platforms for Novel Micro-nano Manufacturing
Scalable, Multifunctional, Advanced, Reliable and Tuneable (SMART) Platforms for Novel Micro-nano Manufacturing. UoB Supervisor and School. Read more
Radiation response of advanced nuclear fuel cladding materials coated with MAX phases
Project Introduction. Nuclear fuel cladding materials are the first containment of nuclear fuel (fissile material) and, as such, must demonstrate a reliable performance during in-reactor service. Read more
Bacterial biofilms, biocides and antibiofilm surfaces: Developing standardised methods to assess efficacy of antibiofilm surfaces in wet environments
Summary. Biofilm on surfaces is a widespread, multi-sector problem, with significant economic impact. Some industries, particularly those that use liquids containing nutrition for bacteria can have significant issues with formation of biofilm. Read more
Hydrogen Fuelled Internal Combustion Engines – Friction, Wear and Lubrication Challenges in a Hydrogen Environment.
Background. To help address climate change, improve air quality and meet increasingly stringent government regulations, the automotive industry is increasingly exploring the use of hydrogen as an alternative to conventional fossil fuels. Read more
Discovery of materials for enhanced PV performance (Ref NSGPVPS2023)
An opportunity for a 3.5 year PhD position supported by NSG Group towards the computational discovery of new materials to enhance the performance of PV devices and forms part of a larger collaboration with NSG around the discovery of new materials for the glass industry. 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
Responding to the cry-for-help: Exploiting disease suppressive microbes and signalling to control soil-borne crop disease
Plants and microbes have co-evolved over millions of years. Root exudates play an important role in this interaction by influencing the soil microbiome, especially the rhizobiome (those microbes that are closely associated with roots). Read more
Sustainable products & processes - help industry ditch the plastic and toxic chemicals
Material and energy used for making products can have significant adverse environmental, health and safety and or socioeconomic impacts. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Novel laser sources for deep-UV applications (Fraunhofer and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
The deep-ultraviolet remains one of the last untapped portions of the spectrum in terms of wide industrial applications. This is, in part, due to the severe lack of laser sources operating in this regime. Read more

EPSRC supported EngD: Reliable Edible Collagen Film Processing
Collagens are some of the most naturally abundant proteins and have been used for many years as edible films and coatings providing unique sensory properties where they are used. Read more
Design and development of sustainable coating for anticorrosion of metal pipes (FAC23/EE/MCE/GUO)
This is a directly and fully-funded studentship covering three years' stipend and full payment of tuition fees. The pollution from the heavy metal ions has caused serious threats to the ecobiology and human beings. Read more
GREENCDT Radiological decontamination using hydrogels
The UK faces a > 100 year, £ 140 bn challenge to decommission its historic nuclear facilities. Many of these facilities have contaminated surfaces, including both impermeable (glass, metal, paint) and permeable materials (brick, concrete) finishes. Read more
A 3-year PhD studentship in Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet Assisted Synthesis of Soft Materials
University College London
Centre for Doctoral Training in Molecular Modelling and Material Science, UCL
Supervisors. Prof. Daren Caruana (UCL), Dr. Albertus Denny Handoko (IMRE, A*STAR, Singapore). Application deadline. 15/04/2023 . Read more
GREENCDT Surface modification of alloys to reduce Hydrogen permeability in fusion alloys
It is imperative to reduce the loss of Tritium to provide safe and sustainable fusion energy. Hence, preventing accumulation and permeation of Tritium in reactor walls is critical. Read more
Topological insulator plasmonics
Research Group:
School of Electronic & Electrical Engineering
Topological insulators (TIs) are a new type of material that has recently been discovered. They have highly conductive surface states, while their bulk remains insulating. Read more
