Revealing the subsurface - Creation of real-time gravity maps for engineering targets
In 1500 Leonardo Da Vinci stated that we know more about the stars above us than the ground beneath our feet. That is as true today as it was then. Read more
Understanding tree anchorage to make forests more resilient to climate change
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Understanding and improving the assessment of wind risk to Irish forests
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Digital twin for integration of thermal minewater resources into engineering systems
To meet our national Net Zero emission targets, it is essential that we accelerate the decarbonisation of energy production. More than 50% of Scotland’s energy demand is for heating. Read more
Data-driven structural health monitoring through AI-enhanced stochastic model updating and parametrisation
The department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Strathclyde is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project (for international students it will be partially funded), expected to commence in October 2022. Read more
Modular and industrialised solutions for building retrofit
More than 85% of the 2050 building stock is already built and almost all will require some form of retrofit/renovation in order to meet global carbon emissions reductions goals. Read more
Novel heated permeable concrete infrastructure for the built environment
Primary supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. Alalea Kia. Co-supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. David M G Taborda. Overview. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunity: A novel ventilation-pollution nexus framework for offsetting carbon by smart indoor spaces
The considerable time people spend indoors has made indoor air quality (IAQ) more important than ever before. The biggest challenge is understanding the ventilation-pollution nexus as airtight buildings preserve energy but worsen the IAQ due to limited ventilation and vice-versa. Read more
Non-exhaust emissions of airborne nano/ultrafine particles from road vehicles
This project will focus on building the understanding of non-exhaust emissions of airborne particles from road vehicles. Read more
Effects of self-cementing properties on the performance of a sustainable capillary barrier cover system by using recycled concrete aggregates
In supporting the UK Government to fulfil its targets on carbon emissions and environmental protection, there is an increasingly strong emphasis on recycling and reuse of construction waste in civil engineering. Read more
Integrating industrial material flows in the digital age (industry enhanced stipend)
Cement and metal are the backbone of our infrastructure and economy. The aim of this project is to develop novel ways to integrate manufacturing and wastes recoveries in these foundation industries. Read more
Lightweight Façade Systems Designed for Deconstruction and Reuse
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The current linear approach to construction of design-build-use-demolish is unsustainable leading to material consumption, embodied carbon and waste, and we need to move to a circular model of design-build-use-reuse. Read more
Pyrolysis to improve bio-based building materials
The. Centre for Sustainable & Circular Technologies. at the University of Bath is inviting applications for the following funded PhD project commencing in October 2022. Read more
Design, Analysis, and Development of Bio-inspired Mechanical Metatructures and Metamaterials
This project is part of a 4-year Dual PhD degree programme between the National Tsing Hua University (NTHU) in Taiwan and the University of Liverpool in England. Read more
Composite Materials with integrated ‘‘massless’’ energy storage for use in civil and mobile applications such as electric vehicles, drones, and composite planes
Nowadays in electric cars, batteries, contribute a large part of the vehicle's weight, which means additional footprinting and load bearing function. Read more
