The project focuses on advancing quantum photonics through the development of scalable, on-chip single-photon sources using nitrogen rich silicon nitride (N rich SiN).
The aim of this project is to design, develop, and translate 3D nanoscale metamaterials for real-world applications. In this work, nanoscale particles can be assembled into macroscopic structures, creating a new class of materials where the desired properties are enhanced and scaled to a device level.
Additive manufacturing enables the fabrication of engineering components with a high degree of geometric complexity. This geometric complexity makes the measurement and inspection of metal AM components very difficult. In this project, You will develop new methods for measuring and inspecting complex AM components.
The main goal of this project is to investigate and design novel electrodes for minimally invasive brain sensing.
This PhD project explores the use of Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) to solve environmental flow problems, including the 2D Shallow Water Equations. Combining advanced artificial intelligence (AI) with fluid mechanics, the research aims to develop fast, accurate, and robust simulations for applications like flood modelling and water management.
Fully funded PhD investigating novel design methods to improve submerged infrastructure resilience against currents and waves. Utilize world-class hydraulic labs and supercomputing facilities to develop sustainable, carbon-efficient solutions.
This project explores quantum computing to enhance large-scale stochastic optimisation for energy system planning, addressing uncertainty in renewables. By integrating quantum and classical methods, it aims to solve large-scale models, advancing methodologies and supporting the energy transition.
