Development of framework to promote model-drive practice that would enhance “collaborative costing” approach across value chain in construction.
Although collaboration has been recognised as a necessary component of success in the construction industry, concepts like building information modelling (BIM), integrated project delivery (IPD) and target value design (TVD) are still emerging. Read more
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more

Innovation systems for foundation industries
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
How can foundation industries collaborate to innovate towards a sustainable circular economy? This PhD project will take an innovation systems approach to support transformative change across industries such as cement, ceramics, metals, glass, paper and chemicals. Read more
Vegetation-based climate change adaptation measures for earth infrastructure
Climate change will affect the performance of existing earth infrastructure. Read more
Investigating the role of verified methods for enhancing trust in digital twins
The Strathclyde Centre for Doctoral Training (SCDT) in "Data-driven uncertainty-aware multiphysics simulations" (StrathDRUMS) is a new, multi-disciplinary centre of the University of Strathclyde, which will carry out cutting-edge research in data-driven modelling and uncertainty quantification for multiphysics engineering systems.

Modelling and Optimisation of Urban Evacuation Procedures
Background. Evacuation constitutes the most fundamental strategy in the response to a humanitarian disaster. Key among the factors impeding evacuation is the unique traffic patterns that arise due to the sudden surge in travel demand, which contravene nominal traveller behaviour. Read more
Use of Recovered Toner Powder to Enhance Durability, Engineering and Sustainability Performance of Structural Concrete Elements
The working life of reinforced/prestressed concrete elements is often determined by serviceability limit state which is governed by the movement of harmful moisture into the structure and propagating/initiating corrosion of steel reinforcement. Read more
Use of Fungi as a Means of Producing Concrete-Like Construction Materials
Concrete is one of the World’s most ubiquitous materials. It has achieved this through its versatility, durability and low cost. However, the manufacture of a key ingredient - Portland cement – contributes 4% of anthropogenic CO2 emissions. Read more
On Analysis and Design of Submerged Wave Energy Devices
We invite applications for a Ph.D. position in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The project aims in analyzing new generation of wave energy devices that are fully submerged, namely an Oscillating Submerged Disc, and a Wave Carpet. Read more
Modelling blood motion in deformable vessels
This project aims to introduce a novel approach in studying blood flow in deformable vessels by simultaneously considering both the fluid (blood) and the structure (vessel) through analytical and numerical approaches. Read more
Micro-Bio-Mechanical Modelling of root growth in soils
The extent and the way roots grow in the ground is known to have a fundamental impact on the growth of crop plants as well as on the resistance to lodging induced by storms. Read more
Improving the Reliability and Economy of Anchors for Floating Offshore Wind Energy
Offshore wind power is crucial for achieving the net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and improving local energy security. Read more
Development of a computational tool for design and analysis of floating offshore wind turbines
In recent years, significant attention has been given to the development of marine renewable energy. The offshore wind energy, in particular, has experienced remarkable growth and continues to expand world-wide. Read more
