Are you keen on conducting research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, deep learning and robot perception? This project will enable machines to imagine, control and leverage the auditory consequences of physical interactions with the environment.
Hydrogen will be the preferable energy carrier among synthetic fuels to address the spatial and temporal separation between energy production (renewable source) and consumption. It is carbon-free and well-suited for easy and inexpensive long-distance transport and long-term storage.
Tackle the real-world challenge of developing strategies to protect buildings and their occupants from explosions.
The key aim of this PhD is to investigate ionic liquid-based fuel and oxidiser propellants in a green bipropellant rocket engine. This will involve theoretical analysis and simulation of the complex combustion chemistry that will occur in such a thruster, and the experimental design and testing of such a large bipropellant rocket.
Join our bioinformatics PhD studentship and explore the complex interplay between Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and their tumour microenvironment. Develop advanced computational biology and informatics skills and work with cutting-edge single cell and spatial transcriptomics technologies to unravel the intricacies of GIST biology and drive innovation in cancer immunology research.
Saccharomyces yeast is an outstanding model eukaryote for research and a workhorse of fermentations. Advanced techniques in microbiology, genetics, ecology and analytical chemistry will be used to deepen our understanding of yeast’s coevolution and interactions with other organisms, how it benefits from these and could be tailored for various bioprocesses.
