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
[UoM / IISc Joint Award] 3D Printed Bone Scaffolds Based on Collagen and Hydroxyapatite by Powder Bed Printing
This innovative project proposes to develop ideal bone mimicking scaffolds using two principal components, collagen and hydroxyapatite (HA). Read more
[UoM / IISc Joint Award] Aqueous hydroxyapatite coatings for next generation 3D metal implants
This project aims to develop calcium apatite coatings on metallic implants using novel aqueous electrolytic plasma oxidation towards aqueous hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings for next generation 3D metal implants that bond to bone. Read more
Investigation of microstructure, micro-residual stress and strain evolution in novel bioinspired biocomposites using time-resolved 3D micro-X-ray diffraction tomography
Tooth decay is a major healthcare challenge that affects over 40% of the world’s population. Over time, around 30% of dentate adults in England have oral disease such as tooth decay. Read more
Fully-funded PhD by Research Studentship in : Predictive modelling of radiation damage in REBCO superconductor magnets in fusion environments
Fusion energy has the potential to be a clean and abundant source of energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions or long-lived radioactive waste. Read more
In situ imaging & diffraction of new composite zeolites for nuclear waste remediation.
Applications are sought for a PhD project under the supervision of Dr Phoebe Allan at the University of Birmingham, Dr Sharif Ahmed and Dr Joe Hriljac at Diamond Light Source, and Dr Tom Carey at the National Nuclear Laboratory. Read more

Advanced manufacturing of ‘Beyond-Li’ batteries
Overview. Batteries have been regarded as non-dynamic systems due to the complexity of requirements that each component must individually satisfy to achieve competitive performance. Read more
Synthesis and real time observation of radiation damage and corrosion of engineered ceramic nuclear waste forms
Background. Owing to large scale reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel there is a significant inventory of plutonium in the UK. Storage and final disposal of plutonium is one of the most complex challenges facing the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) in dealing with the UK’s nuclear legacy. Read more
Understanding and Controlling Defects in Emerging Photovoltaic Materials
This is a fully-funded 3.5 year PhD position in the School of Chemistry, University of Birmingham, to work on a Computational project in the group of Professor David O. Read more
Negative capacitance in boracites: a structure-properties study
Boracites are a family of crystals of chemical formula M3B7O13X, with a structure composed of a framework of boron-oxygen tetrahedra, within which M and X ions are intercalated. Read more
Liquid metals embrittlement behaviour of fusion materials under radiation environment
Fusion power is one of the reliable energy sources that is clean. Energy was harnessed from the fusion reactions of two hydrogen isotopes, i.e. Read more
Hybrid coatings for corrosion protection of light alloys
We welcome applications from candidates to work with our interdisciplinary and collaborative team on a project on the development of hybrid coatings for active corrosion protection of light alloys. Read more
GREENCDT The Management of Used Nuclear Fuel: Irradiation of Fuel in Pond Storage Environments
The expected remaining lifetime of the UK’s Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) will result in the generation of ~5,000t of AGR Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF). Read more
GREENCDT Time-Temperature Transformation Phase Diagrams for Developing Advanced Glass Ceramic Nuclear Waste forms
The purpose of this project is to understand nucleation and growth of ceramic phases in UK’s waste glasses in order to develop monolith glass-ceramic (GC) wasteforms to immobilize critical fission products (FP) that otherwise phase segregate out of the glass matrix. Read more
