Understanding the behaviour of infrastructure systems under extreme stress and subject to multiple shocks.
Background. In the face of rapid urbanisation and potentially severe climate change, infrastructure systems are exposed to increasingly unpredictable and severe failure events for which they have not been designed. Read more
Seismic Vulnerability of Adobe Structures in Developing Countries
Adobe buildings constitute a large proportion of residential stock in many underdeveloped and developing countries particularly in rural areas. Read more
Combining Finite Element Methods with Machine Learning for Efficient Wave Simulations
We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled candidate for a PhD position in the field of numerical solutions of wave problems. The successful candidate will work on developing an efficient numerical solver for wave problems using advanced finite element methods coupled with machine learning. Read more
Assembly and Robotics Innovation in Steel Building Erection (ARISE)
This exciting project unites economists, civil engineers, computer scientists, robotics experts and safety specialists across a number of countries to consider the development and introduction of a new type of structural steel connection that is designed for rapid assembly, disassembly, and robotic assembly.

Optimised additively-manufactured structural components for sustainable and resilient future infrastructure
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-GV. This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual to join our research group as a PhD candidate in the field of metal additive manufacturing. Read more
From shallow geothermal energy systems to our buildings: The role of thermal conductivity for heat transfer and energy efficiency
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-MS. Space heating and cooling currently makes up the world's largest energy sector, accounting for approximately 50% of the final energy consumption. This figure is expected to grow rapidly over the coming decades due to economic and population growth, and inevitable increase in urbanisation. Read more
Assessing the effect of various protective measures, including nature-based solutions, on the resilience of critical infrastructure systems in conditions of climate change
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-DV. The well-being of modern society heavily depends on the uninterrupted functioning of critical infrastructure systems (CIS) such as transport, electricity, water, etc. Read more
Greening the Grey: Creating Green Concrete Infrastructure using 3D Printing Technology
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-BS. Urban environments are generally packed with concrete structures and roads, with considerably less green space. Read more
Ultra-low NOx Hydrogen-Fuelled Gas Turbine Combustion Systems PhD
Current gas turbine engines use hydrocarbon fuels, such as kerosene, diesel and natural gas which inevitably produce CO2 and NOx emissions. Read more
Powering nationwide water resource systems with low-carbon electricity
A reliable water supply and a successful energy transition are two necessary conditions for a sustainable future. Yet we know little about how the switch to intermittent renewables (wind, solar) for our energy supply will affect the operation of our water infrastructure. Read more
