Net-Zero vertical farming
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that food production will need to increase by 70% to feed an expected global population of 9 billion in 2050. Read more
MScR: Understanding the consequences of unpredictable cold stress events on a beneficial insect and the implications for natural pest control in agricultural landscapes
The earth is currently experiencing rapid changes in climate. As ectotherms, insects are highly susceptible to temperature change, with temperature impacting all aspects of their fitness. Read more

Greenhouse gas dynamics in upland agricultural systems
Research Group:
Geography and Environmental Studies
Upland agricultural systems for sheep and beef enterprises cover approximately 141,000ha, or 14%, of agricultural land in Northern Ireland. Read more
Exploring a unique predator-prey relationship to uncover vulnerabilities in tuberculosis
Diseases caused by mycobacteria account for more deaths than any other infectious agent in the world. Sadly, rates of drug resistant infections are increasing, at a time where our diagnostic capacity has been hindered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Read more
Artificial Intelligence in Farms: AI-based Crop Disease Monitoring and Detection
Research Group:
Computing
Plant diseases may affect the root, steam and leaves of plants resulting in a sizable drop of revenue for farmers as crop’s quality is affected and may lead to food shortage and food chain disruption [1]. Read more
A selection index to identify clover varieties of enhanced agronomic value
Project theme. The key objective is to identify elite clover varieties capable of enhancing the economic and environmental efficiency of grass-based ruminant production. . Read more
Use of Deep Learning for Image-Based Fruit Trees Disease Detection on Edge Devices.
PROJECT REFERENCE NUMBER. Please select SCEBE-22SF-DLIB-Enemali from the drop-down list, or refer to this project number in your project proposal. Read more
Crop Type Classification Using Optical Remote Sensing
Crop type mapping at the field level is necessary for a variety of applications in agricultural monitoring and food security. In this thesis, the goal is to develop a suitable deep neural network architecture that could detect different crop types in remote sensing images. Read more
Conservation of pollinator biodiversity and sustainable management of pollination services in agroecosystems
Wild and managed pollinators provide a wide range of benefits to society in terms of contributions to food security, farmer and beekeeper livelihoods, social and cultural values, as well as the maintenance of wider biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Read more
Long-term navigation for agriculture robots in changing environments
Project details. This PhD project aims to develop fundamental methods and practical solutions for agriculture robots to navigate various agricultural environments, including crop fields, orchards and polytunnels safely and reliably, and operate across different growing seasons. Read more
Fit to adapt - Extreme climate change compatible residential energy retrofit
The UK has enacted one of the most ambitious carbon reduction targets striving for net zero emissions by 2050. A major challenge to achieving this is decarbonizing heating demand with almost 25m homes in need of retrofit. Read more
Resilient Meristems: A systems biology approach to understanding the effects of stress on meristem form and function
Fluctuations in environmental conditions impact plant developmental programmes, stunting growth and reducing yields. Climate change is likely to seriously increase this problem. Read more
Linking phytoremediation to energy crops for sustainable bioenergy and land restoration
This PhD project will investigate the potential of using energy crop species grown on contaminated land to combine sustainable bioenergy production with land restoration and pollution mitigation. Read more
Mapping the resilience of green transport corridors to strong winds effects
Managing trees and plants alongside railways for the safety of passengers and railway workers whilst achieving a respectful balance to protect our lineside habitats is essential. Read more
Shedding light on the functioning of root-fungal symbioses with high resolution isotopic imaging
In this exciting multi-disciplinary project, you will work at the interface between physical and biological sciences, using the latest technologies in both to address key questions that underlie food security in the face of changing climates. Read more
