Assimilating satellite land surface temperature data to improve numerical weather prediction skill
Land surface temperature (LST) has been recently recognized by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) as an Essential Climate Variable (ECV), which… Read more
Polarised neutron spectroscopy for energy applications
Neutron spectroscopy can provide deep insight into the physics underpinning technologies necessary for the transition to net-zero. Read more
GREENCDT Evolution of properties of clay and mudstone rocks governing fluid flow in an Excavation Disturbed Zone around a geological disposal site for nuclear waste storage
The excavation disturbed zone (EDZ) is a zone of rock that has experienced enhanced stress relative to the ambient far-field stress field. Read more
Intermediate dark fermentation as a platform technology for chemical recycling and biorefineries in the water sector PhD
This exciting fully funded PhD, will investigate resource recovery opportunities from sewage sludge with dark fermentation as core enabling technology. Read more
Hydrodynamic methods for cell disruption
Supervisory Team. Gustavo de Almeida. Project description. The disruption of microorganisms (in particular, lysing of cell membranes) immersed in fluids has been the object of increasing attention among engineers and scientists. Read more
Developing an urban canopy model for improved weather forecasts in cities
Most of the world’s population now experiences an urban version of weather extremes and climate change. Accurate forecasting of weather and air quality in cities relies on correctly representing the physics of turbulent exchange of heat between the surface and the overlying atmosphere. Read more
Primary production and carbon export across the Flamborough frontal system: interaction with offshore wind energy
This PhD scholarship is offered by the Aura Centre for Doctoral Training in Offshore Wind Energy and the Environment; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Newcastle and Sheffield. Read more
Effect of Blade Surface Contamination on Wind Turbine Energy Production
This PhD scholarship is offered by the Aura Centre for Doctoral Training in Offshore Wind Energy and the Environment; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Newcastle and Sheffield. Read more
Developing a Sum-Frequency Generation (SFG) experiment at the HiLUX facility to study water at interfaces of energy materials
The behaviour of water at interfaces plays a critical role in many sustainable energy systems. For example understanding how water interacts with the electrodes and transports through the polymer membranes of an electrolyser is important in enabling the development of new materials for green hydrogen production.

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
Creating the hyperpolarization battery to magnify NMR signals and improve analysis
Summary. This project will involve the creation of a hyperpolarisation battery (HB) that delivers magnetism rather that electric current to improve the ability of NMR to characterise materials. Read more
High-power visible fibre lasers pumped by the down-conversion process
Supervisory Team. Prof Jayanta Sahu, Dr Bill Brocklesby, and Dr Arindam Halder. Project description. Visible lasers are indispensable for applications such as display, underwater communication, microscopy and bio-photonics, optical storage, and materials processing. Read more
Composite material optical fibres for active photonics
Supervisory Team. Dr Pier Sazio (ZI), Prof. Mike Zervas. Project description. Read more
Lung-deposited surface area deposition of airborne nanoparticles in different environments
Airborne nanoparticles (<100nm) are the smallest fraction of particulate matter, which can penetrate deep into the lungs, and have more severe health impacts than their larger counterparts. Read more
A dynamical systems theory approach to optimisation in fluid mechanics
Supervisory Team. Davide Lasagna. Project description. A PhD studentship is available in the area of numerical simulation, optimisation and stability analysis of turbulent flows. Read more
