Current research degree projects

In this project, you'll investigate how hybrid stainless steel/carbon steel joints can improve structural performance and resilience under extreme loading conditions.

Would you like to help the UK eliminate leakage-related water loss? We’re offering a 3.5-year fully funded PhD, developing contact underground sound guides to overcome the limitations of closely spaced access points.

Would you like to help the UK eliminate leakage-related water loss? We’re offering a 3.5-year fully funded PhD to investigate the dynamics of hydrants to enhance acoustic-based water leak detection.

In this PhD, you'll investigate how energy can be optimally transferred between subsystems within a nonlinear system. The impact of this project will be significant for vibration mitigation, vibration isolation, and vibration energy harvesting.

This project will use a mouse model to investigate the epigenetic mechanisms through which early life stress causes vulnerability to neurological disease.

This PhD project explores the electrical, thermal and economic modelling of a range of electrical energy storage types. For example, lithium-ion and lead-acid batteries, flow cells and fuel cells. We also investigate the potential to operate and manage direct parallel hybrids of combinations of these energy storage types.

In this fully funded PhD project, you’ll develop novel microfluidic technologies for early diagnosis of sepsis.  

In this fully funded PhD project, you will investigate the ability of older people with complex care needs to adapt to an increasingly digitalised health care landscape.

In this PhD project, you'll investigate how to advance data-sharing and data marketplaces with a PhD opportunity led by Dr George Konstantinidis.
