Shape the Future of a Non-Toxic Environment: Join the NERC-funded ECOSOLUTIONS PhD Programme
Are you passionate about solving complex environmental challenges? Interested in creating non-toxic urban spaces that benefit society and nature alike? The NERC-funded ECOSOLUTIONS PhD Training Programme is your opportunity to make a difference!. Read more
Autogenous diagenesis of limestone waste (FES-PhD-2425-01)
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Read more
Gut Reactions and Ground Rules: The Microbial and Environmental Drivers of Zoonotic Hookworm Hatching
Zoonotic hookworm infections, caused by parasites such as Ancylostoma brasiliense, Ancylostoma caninum, and Uncinaria stenocephala, pose a significant health threat to humans, primarily transmitted from companion animals like cats and dogs. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Reduced nitrogen in the atmosphere – how changes in agriculture and energy supply could future impact air quality and ecosystems
Reduced nitrogen is used extensively as a fertilizer. It is applied either as ammonium or urea, which is rapidly hydrolysed biologically by naturally… Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Conversion of Methane to Value-Added Chemicals and Fuels over Metal-Organic Framework Catalysts
Methane is an abundant energy source, but it is a very active greenhouse gas (84 times more potent than CO2). Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Bioremediation through enzymatic dehalogenation
The production of organohalides is fundamental to a variety of industrial applications, including their use as solvents, degreasing agents, pesticides, and flame retardants. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Computational Studies of Catalytic Dinitrogen Reduction by d and f Element Complexes
The worldwide industrial catalytic conversion of N. 2. to millions of tons of ammonia per annum is a starting point for the production of pharmaceuticals, plastics, fine chemicals and fertiliser. Read more
Advanced sensors for planetary missions & astrophysics
Co-Supervisors. Professor Nathalie Wheeler, Professor Radan Slavik. Read more
Systems for effective and sustainable resource management at hospitals
Supervisory team. Prof Ian Williams, Prof Peter Shaw. Hospital waste management is an important environmental and public safety issue, due to the infectious, toxic or hazardous nature of the waste. Read more
InSpiring the TRansition to a low carbon society Using Music (STRUM)
Supervisory Team. Prof Ian Williams, Dr Erin Johnson-Williams. Climate Change is one of the most pressing global challenges facing society today. Read more
Metamaterials for catalysis
A meta-atom is an engineered sub-wavelength structure that, when periodically arranged like an atomic lattice, enable optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical functionalities not seen in conventional designs. Read more
Reimagining Waste: Upcycling Polymers into High Performance Gas Storage Materials (S3.5-MPS-Dawson)
Every year, an estimated 400 million tonnes of plastic waste gets dumped into the environment our planet. This plastic pollution doesn't just look bad, it poses a serious threat to our environment. Read more
Fate of microplastics in waste waters and sewage sludge used in agriculture – impacts on the terrestrial environment
Microplastics and fibres are widespread in the environment with significant work undertaken in marine environments looking at the fate and uptake of microplastics through the food chain. Read more
Removal of emerging micropollutants from wastewater in biofilm reactors
PhD Supervisor: Yongqiang Liu. Project description. Emerging micropollutants, encompassing a spectrum from pharmaceutical residues and personal care products to industrial chemicals, have been found in water sources worldwide. Read more
The population consequences of excess fine sediment for Atlantic salmon
Primary Supervisor: Prof John Iwan Jones. Co-Supervisor(s): Prof Mark Trimmer and Dr Sophie Elliot (Game and WIldlife Conservation Trust). Read more
