Imaging Approaches to Monitor and Optimise Solid Phase Oligonucleotide Synthesis
Overview. Your PhD project presents the opportunity to focus your postgraduate research towards addressing the lack of process analytical technology (PAT) available to monitor solid phase oligonucleotide synthesis (SPOS). Read more
Intensified biochemical and hydrothermal biorefinery for lignocellulosic biomass valorisation: A circular economy approach (BioTherm)
Fermentation is a key upstream process in the food, feed, beverage, brewing, biopharmaceutical, and biotech sectors. It is a metabolic process in which microorganisms perform chemical reactions to transform specific carbohydrates into diverse compounds. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: Studies in heterogeneous catalysts
The Max Planck Centre for fundamental studies on heterogeneous catalyst was established in 2019 and has two themes operating on experimental heterogeneous catalysis; namely catalyst design and acetylene chemistry. Read more
PhD in Chemistry: New catalysts for acetylene processes enabling a sustainable future
Chemical industry produces tens of thousands of chemical intermediates and products that are essential components of polymers, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, fragrances, paints, and more, elevating the overall quality and length of human life across the globe. Read more
Driving polymer mechanochemistry via processing techniques
Conventionally, chemical transformations are driven by inputs such as light, heat or electricity. However, the exciting field of polymer mechanochemistry is adding to these conventions by developing the use of mechanical force to drive chemical changes. Read more
Deep Learning-based mechanistic elucidation of processes mediated by heterogeneous catalysts
Heterogeneous catalysis is essential in the chemical industry, but understanding its mechanisms is complex due to the limitations of traditional kinetic analysis, which often relies on simplifying approximations. Read more
Advancing the Thermal Treatment of Radioactive Graphite Waste
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. There are approximately 100’000 tonnes of irradiated nuclear graphite in the UK that will eventually require suitable disposal. Read more
PhD Studentship - Systematic investigation of pyrolysis process and products for sustainable biochar production
This PhD project is part of the CDT in Process Industries: Net Zero. The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University. Read more
P4. Green Polymers from Sugars towards Polyethylene-Like Materials (CSHP CDT)
Polymers are widespread in modern society as they produce light, strong, and cheap plastic materials, with an ever-increasing demand, which are critical to many technologies from consumer goods, electronics to healthcare. Read more
P27. An exploration of “greener” alternatives for oligonucleotide synthesis (CSHP CDT)
The solid phase synthesis of oligonucleotides, historically conducted on controlled pore glass, but more recently on polystyrene, typically proceeds in a 3′ to 5′ direction by a four-step synthesis cycle with each step followed by a solvent wash. Read more
P26. Metal-free catalysis to make and break C-F bonds (CSHP CDT)
Fluorine-containing molecules are essential in a wide range of applications, including in many pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Read more
Transforming CO2 into Sustainable Fuels for Marine Transportation
About the Project. Project Summary. This project, funded by the Southampton Marine and Maritime Institute, aims to revolutionize maritime fuel production by developing a single-step catalytic process to convert CO2 into Dimethyl Ether. Read more
Next-generation printing inks
We are seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated person to join our research team, BonLab (https://bonlab.info), at the University of Warwick as a PhD researcher to work on a fully funded (home fees + stipend) 4-year project in the area of sustainable polymer and colloid science. Read more
Biobased Monomers for a Defossilised Speciality Polymer Industry
Modern life is impossible to imagine without polymers providing solutions to many critical functions and as part of everyday products, (e.g. Read more
Catalytic Reaction Mechanisms at the Push of a Button
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
