Graphene-enhanced bioplastics for sustainable packaging applications
This multidisciplinary project with industrial relevance and support aims to develop novel technologies, for the development of biodegradable plastics - Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs...
Learning to manipulate cloth-like objects
Manipulating objects such as cloth (and ropes) is challenging for robots due to the complexity of the dynamics of these objects. For instance, most such objects will exhibit phenom...
Thermochemical energy storage systems: mathematical modelling and experimental evaluation of materials and prototype systems performance
Thermochemical energy storage reactor systems for domestic and heat transport applications will be studied. Initially a detailed literature review in the area of materials, reactor...
Molecular probes for lysosomal accumulation, release and environmental sensing.
The project will operate in the EPSRC research theme of Healthcare Technologies, in the priority research area of Technology Touching Life, and the areas of Chemical Biology, Analy...
Subjective experience as a basis for reality monitoring over memory
'Reality monitoring' is the process of establishing whether our memories were externally generated (such as a memory of something we perceived), or internally generated (such as a...
Graphene and graphene-related materials for tissue engineering
Graphene and graphene-related materials for tissue engineering Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that strives to develop biological substitutes to restore, improv...
Investigating the relationship between emotional contagion, emotion regulation and social competence: a developmental and comparative investigation.
The ability to understand and connect with others underpins our social and mental wellbeing; it also enables uniquely human skills, including in communication and cooperation. A...
Large N limit of the stochastic Yang-Mills model
Recent developments in singular stochastic PDEs have allowed us to make rigorous sense of the Langevin dynamic associated to super-renormalisable quantum field theories. It is of c...
Lifting algebras via Hochschild cohomology
This project is concerned with the representation theory of groups and algebras, a branch of Pure Mathematics. Its aim is the study of lifts of finite-dimensional algebras over a f...
Fast ion physics studies on MAST Upgrade with a neutron diagnostic
In fusion plasmas, fast ions have energies much higher than the thermal plasma background. Fast ions are generated by external auxiliary heating such as Neutral Beam Injection (NBI...
Exploring the 'Copper's Nose' and the discourse surrounding its perceived existence, value and impact on policing in the UK
Within policing, there exists a discourse surrounding an orthodox phenomenon: that police officers have intuition beyond the comprehension of their non-police officer civilian coun...
Shrinking sea ice - reconstructions from ice cores
Sea ice plays a vital role in modulating climate. Satellite observations reveal that Antarctic sea ice is at its lowest in 40 years. In the Bellingshausen Sea, adjacent to the Anta...
Novel TiO2 nanomaterials as sonocatalytic agents for water-splitting
Sonochemistry is the use of ultrasound generated bubbles to enable chemical reactions. Sound waves will cause the formation of bubbles in liquids and the eventual collapse of bubbl...
Partition's Constitution: Law, Violence, Nation
Violence, manifested as war, civil strife, revolution, or colonial rule, often precedes the establishment of a new legal order. In India, constitution-making was inaugurated by the...

The drivers and consequences of community phenological cohesion
investigating the factors driving phenological cohesion within communities in response to climate change, and explore effects of phenologically-induced competitive shifts on commun...
Grow your own textiles: Fostering a circular economy through self sufficiency.
The purpose of this DTA is to (objectively) explore the impact of 'homegrown' natural cellulosic fibres across the entirety of the life-cycle. In 2020 the UKRI has announced a...
Noise reduction of Urban Air Mobility Vehicles using CFD
Excess land transport emissions result from congestion, under-occupied public transport and lack of door-to-door transport networks. Internal combustion engines are to be phased ou...
Studies of Double Perovskite Catalysts for Photo Water Splitting
We are at a crossroads in our history. The dramatic climate change arising from human activity such as the burning of fossil fuels has had a devasting impact on human lives, the ec...
Feasibility study investigating circulating peripheral mitochondrial DNA as a potential non-invasive biomarker for diagnosis and surveillance of high risk cutaneous melanoma
Background Cutaneous melanoma is the UK’s fifth commonest cancer and is the leading cause of death from skin malignancy. Our recent work highlights the phenomenon of tumour cells o...
