Normative modelling of resting-state EEG across the lifespan for application in the early diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease

With a rapidly aging human population worldwide, neurodegenerative diseases represent a pressing medical and societal concern. Given the increase in life expectancy, dementia is expected to affect almost 152 million people by 2050 (Alzheimer’s Disease International, 2018). Read more

Inspection of nuclear fusion components in high temperature using laser induced ultrasound phase arrays

This PhD project will face the challenges of ultrasonic imaging of nuclear fusion components using lasers to generate and detect ultrasound, remotely and in a series of environmental conditions with respect to temperature for the first time. Read more

Mobile EEG: memory and attention in the wild.

What neural systems and processes support cognitive processes like attending and remembering? How do we use cognitive abilities like memory and attention… Read more

Using ultrasound thalamotomy as an opportunity to understand the contributions of the human thalamus to decision making and learning

The contribution of the human thalamic nuclei to decision making are poorly understood and a focus of considerable interest given their routine use as safe targets for functional neurosurgery in tremor and Parkinson's disease. Read more

Combining laser and ultrasound based molecular delivery strategies for enhanced drug delivery

Overview. This project addresses the critical area of delivering therapeutics to the skin. If successful, the approach will have direct and positive consequences for the treatment of a range of skin diseases, but may also be viewed as a more generic means of drug delivery for treating a much wider range of disease. Read more

Ultrasound Based Technology for Removal of Scale from Downhole Production Tubing

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Mental Workload Detection from Brain Signals

Are you intrigued by the complexities of human cognition and its intersection with technology? Are you passionate about leveraging neuroscience to enhance human-computer interaction? We invite applications for a PhD position in the fascinating realm of mental workload detection from brain signals. Read more

Turst Detection from Brain Signals in Human-AI Teaming

Are you passionate about the future of human-AI collaboration? Do you want to explore the intricate dynamics of trust between humans and artificial intelligence systems? We invite applications for a PhD position in the exciting field of trust detection from brain signals in human-AI teaming. Read more

Exploring cardio-renal-metabolic interactions in patients with heart failure

Recent years have highlighted the connections and shared pathophysiology between heart failure, renal impairment, diabetes and obesity, particularly with the evidence of benefit in all of these areas with SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP1-receptor agonists. Read more

Enhanced Cements for Nuclear Waste Encapsulation

Blended cements are formed from a mix of ordinary cement and another cementitious material, known as clinker substitute. These alternative materials are frequently used in the cement and concrete industries to. Read more

The effect of early-life stress on cardiac function in later life

Stressful experiences in early childhood can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. How early-life stress (ELS) influences susceptibility to CVD onset remains largely unknown. Read more

Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Image capture and multimodal AI for interactive radiology assistance (Canon Medical and University of Edinburgh)

  Research Group: CDT in Applied Photonics
The EngD is an alternative to a traditional PhD aimed at students wanting a career in industry. Students spend about 75% of their time working directly with a company in addition to receiving advanced-level training from a broad portfolio of technical and business courses. Read more

Engineering Mineral Layers for Decommissionable Concrete

Nuclear sites contain large volumes of radioactively contaminated concrete. Prior to decommissioning, these concrete structures must be surface decontaminated to minimise the requirement for waste disposal. Read more

Sustainable bio-hydrogen production via engineered microbial metabolism (4-year fully funded PhD studentship with Dstl)

  Research Group: Institute of Quantitative Biology, Biochemistry and Biotechnology
Background and the project. In 2022, carbon emissions from the chemical industry peaked at 935 M ton, making this industry the third largest sector by emissions and responsible for 2.5% of total greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. Read more

Neuro-cognitive mechanisms of goal-oriented reading

Reading in everyday life is a context-sensitive and goal-sensitive process. Reading a textbook for an exam is very different from reading your favourite novel. Read more

Characterization of Technologically Relevant Point Defects in Piezoelectric Oxide Materials

Oxide materials with a perovskite, or related, structure remain of primary importance as piezoelectric materials. They are used in applications ranging from medical ultrasound transducers to fuel injectors for diesel engines. Read more

Advanced computational modelling of nanobubble cavitation dynamics

Rapid changes in pressure, such as in high-frequency ultrasound, can stimulate bubbles to nucleate, oscillate, and collapse violently, in a phenomenon known as cavitation. Read more
