Why do cells need peroxisomes? In this project we will use a combination of molecular and cell biological techniques to understand the role that peroxisomes play in neuronal development and stress response. We will establish tools to investigate peroxisome formation and function based on the peroxisomal probes developed in the lab.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, with a complex biology. We aim to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathology in the absence or presence of systemic inflammation. The results may lead to improved understanding of the biological mechanism underlying spreading of Tau in the AD-affected brain.

This project aims to combine passive acoustic noise interferometry and distributed acoustic sensing of seafloor cables embedded with machine learning. This novel, coherent combination will sustainably enable at low-cost, spatially resolved high-resolution real-time insights into physical attributes such as temperature, water-velocity or pressure of the water column and the cryosphere.
In low-lying coastal regions, flooding often arises from more than one drive such as oceanographic, fluvial or pluvial, a phenomenon that is known as ‘compound flooding’. This PhD will use a new km-scale system coupling atmosphere, land, waves and ocean. Modelling experiments across weather and climate timescales will further our understanding and improve the prediction of compound events and their potential changes in the future.
