Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are typically limited to tens of atoms due to the steep increase of the computational effort with the number of atoms. Recent developments have led to “linear-scaling” reformulations of DFT which allow calculations with thousands of atoms which are ideal for complex systems.
The project focusses on development of new metal complexes for radiofluorination for potential applications as next generation medical imaging agents via positron emission tomography (PET) – an important and widely used medical imaging technique used in hospitals and clinics for detection of diseases such as cancers.
The University is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.
In this PHD project we aim to provide insights into the potential large-scale deployment of Quantum Secure Direct Communication technology in real-life scenarios.
