Plasma-based gas conversion into value-added chemicals
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasmas are promising technology for the conversion of gases such as CO2, CH4 or N2 into more valuable ones, e.g. CO (starting material for alcohols and hydrocarbons), H2 (clean fuel applications) and NH3 (fertilisers). Read more
Controlling plasma chemistry of cold atmospheric-pressure air plasmas
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasma technologies already form a key part of many of today’s multi-billion pound industries such as the nanoscale fabrication of microprocessors, production of solar cells and the deposition of advanced functional coatings. Read more
Precision agriculture by robotic data collection and knowledge based analysis
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Robots are becoming increasingly essential in the practice of precision agriculture due to labor shortages, higher productivity needs, and the demand for sustainable farming practices. Read more
Autonomous Robotic Management of York Institute for Safe Autonomy Solar Farm
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
With the commissioning of a new solar power farm for research at York's institute for Safe Autonomy, we are looking for enthusiastic students with an interest in creating robots that can move between solar panel arrays to autonomously perform cleaning, inspection, mapping, and site maintenance tasks. Read more
Self-organizing reconfigurable cellular robots created with semantically-aware autonomic elements
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Machines created by humans, even state-of-the-art space systems, are mostly monolithic centralized entities that are designed for a specific purpose and to embody specific components. Read more
Unravelling the physico-chemical mechanisms behind collagen formation and the process of collagen mineralisation
Research Group:
Condensed matter and materials physics
Collagen is a key protein in mammals providing the basis for connective tissue, bone, teeth and other important components of the body. Read more
Generative AI of grant free massive access for 6G unmanned robotic networks
In 6G and beyond, the number of machine-type communication (MTC) devices—such as environmental sensors, wearable devices, autonomous pods, and smart robots—is expected to grow exponentially. Read more
How can DNA condensate despite its negative charge? Implications in genome regulation, antibiotic resistance and gene therapy.
DNA molecules repel each other due to their negative charge. However, in the presence of multivalent ions and some proteins, DNA can condensate into a highly compact structure. Read more
