Field Assisted Sintering of Nuclear Fuel Simulants
The expected remaining lifetime of the UK's Advanced Gas-cooled Reactors (AGRs) will result in the generation of ~5,000t of AGR Spent Nuclear Fuel (SNF). The UK Nuclear Decomm...
Understanding how pollutant aerosol particulates impact airway inflammation
Exposure to particulate matter (PM) contributes to respiratory diseases with major impacts from early life exposure yet we know little of the underlying immunological mechanisms. I...
Likelihood and impact of severe space weather events on the resilience of nuclear power and safeguards monitoring.
The project aim is to increase the capability and performance of ground level neutron monitors in differentiating between neutrons of differing origin. Thus, reducing the chances o...
Exploring and Improving Hearing by Cochlear Implant listeners
Cochlear implants (CIs) restore hearing to severely and profoundly deaf people by electrically stimulating the auditory nerve. Many CI patients understand speech well in quiet surr...
Understanding the interplay between the gut microbiome, behavior and urbanisation in wild birds
SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUNDBehaviour facilitates rapid, flexible responses to environmental change. Despite accumulating evidence that intestinal microbiota communities and their genes (...
Landscapes of Music: The more-than-human lives and politics of musical instruments
The landscapes surrounding the German violin-making town of Mittenwald have been strongly shaped by and for the making of bowed string instruments. Over centuries, trees have been...
3D Printing Proteins for Continuous Flow Biocatalysis and Bioabsorbtion
Using puSLA to print hydrogels incorporating enzymes for use in a permeable continuous flow bioreactor. This is in aid of developing the mechanical and flow characteristics of an o...
Distributed Electric Propulsion
This project around distributed electric propulsion aims to build an aerodynamic understanding of the optimal configurations for distributed electric propulsion.Distributed electri...
Tackling antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with protein engineering to produce novel yanuthone-based antimicrobial agents
The aim of this project is to produce and characterise a few of the proteins that play key roles in the biosynthetic production of the antimicrobial yanuthone D. Yanuthones are a n...
Optimal utility-based design of oncology clinical development programmes
This project aims at developing a probabilistic framework for comparing sequences of clinical trial designs in oncology.Its main objective is to provide a practical method for impr...
In-situ quality control of material extrusion-based 3D printing for personalised medicines
Advances in the field of pharmacogenomics have provided an impetus for the development and fabrication of personalised pharmaceutical formulations. For instance, three-dimensional...
Exploiting DNS in 3D Design
Research AimsCurrently, unsteady numerical studies with DNS still rely on time averaged quantities. This means that, even today, unsteady flows are still viewed from a fundamentall...
Development of self-assembly trimetallic cryptands as potential anti-cancer drugs
The successful student will join a multidisciplinary research team consisting of chemists (Rice and a PDRA funded by the EPSRC award), cell biologists (Allison) and cancer pharmaco...
(Im)politeness and conversational humour in a multicultural society: Exploring new media and real-life contexts
In an increasingly interconnected world, harmonious intercultural communication is imperative, particularly within multicultural societies.This project aims to investigate the intr...
Understanding how different condensin activities regulate mitotic chromosome folding in human cells
In human cells, the SMC complex condensin plays a significant and essential role in chromosome condensation, but there is conflicting data.Studies from other groups have suggested...
Women, Violence and the Control of Sexuality in Early Modern Western Mediterranean Armies
Women's presence in warfare and armies was commonplace in early modern Europe.Whether within armies, in transit areas, military lodgings, permanent military residences, or in...
Coupled Evolution of Ice Shelf and Ocean in the Amundsen Sea Sector of Antarctica
As our planet warms the ice cover shrinks, a process that transfers water from land to ocean and thereby raises sea level. The result, which could ultimately raise global sea level...
Building blocks of cognition: The co-development of brain function and cognition across the first 5 years of life
Early childhood is a dynamic and fast-changing period of life during which key skills and abilities develop, setting children up for later success or difficulties.By the time child...
CUBES, the Cassegrain U-Band Efficient Spectrograph for the VLT - This is part of the B3584203 submission
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research.This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because i...
Thermofluidic Engineering: Programmable Assembling Multicellular Structures (TE-PAMS) of biohybrid materials
The proposed research aims to develop an innovative biocompatible thermal tweezer (Bio-TT) technique for the design of multi-scale, hierarchical biomaterials, including cells, orga...
