Understanding plant development and evolution in the context of environmental responses.
This PhD project aims to understand how plants have adapted to respond to environmental challenges throughout evolutionary time by investigating key plant transcriptional regulators. Read more
Modelling the respiratory microbiome in chronic lung disease and healthy ageing
The Respiratory Microbiome Group seeks to understand the interactions between complex communities of bacteria, fungi and viruses with the human respiratory tract in both disease (acute infections and chronic lung disease) and in health or healthy ageing. Read more
Optimizing Deep-Learning Solutions for Computational Imaging
The Statistics and Data Science group in the School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, is recruiting a PhD student working on the cutting-edge data-driven algorithms for solving imaging inverse problems. This research aims at improving the quality of imaging via advancing the state-of-the-art reconstruction algorithms. Read more
Nature-based Solutions for Climate Resilience
Our climate is changing. In the UK, winters are getting warmer, summers are experiencing higher temperatures, and extreme weather events, such as heavy rainfall or heatwaves are increasing in frequency and magnitude. Read more
Funded PhD Opportunity: Pioneering Time Series Analysis Through Self-Normalization
Techniques. In the intricate world of statistical analysis, accurately understanding the variance of temporally correlated data is crucial for reliable conclusions. Read more
Corrosion of reinforcing steel embedded within low carbon cement concretes made without Portland cement
Corrosion of reinforcing steel in conventional Portland Cement (PC)-based concretes exposed in challenging environments is a common problem, leading to cracking and spalling and its repair is a big cost to the UK economy. Read more
Development of a performance test method to evaluate effectiveness and service life of galvanic anodes used as part of repair systems and cathodic protection in reinforced concrete structures
One of the most challenging durability issues and causes of defects in reinforced concrete infrastructures is the corrosion of steel reinforcement, which leads to rust formation, cracking, spalling, delamination and degradation of structures (Popov, 2015 and Michael et al, 2016). Read more
How does the brain make decisions when faced with conflicting options?
Animals engage in daily activities that are essential for survival and reproduction, such as feeding, mating or fighting for resources. Read more
Understanding the impact of nutrition on cognitive and cerebral function during episodes of mental stress
The impact of diet on mental health and brain performance is a topic of growing focus and concern. diets rich in saturated fats have been associated with a significant risk for cognitive decline later in life (1,2), whilst healthier diets, rich in plant polyphenols are linked to reduced risk of dementia (3).
