Targeting cellular diversity and interactivity in paediatric diffuse glioma
Background Paediatric-type diffuse high-grade glioma is a biologically and clinically diverse group of brain tumours, different to those that arise in adults; for the vast majority...
Anti-cancer potential of PI 3-kinase overactivation: a proof-of-concept investigation
BACKGROUND: The aberrant activation of PI 3-kinase (PI3K) signalling in cancer and inflammation has driven extensive PI3K pathway inhibitor drug development efforts. In unpublished...
Improving plastic pyrolysis oil upgrading using EC process
This project will evaluate the extent to which electrochemistry can be used to improve the pyrolysis oil quality and processing in feedstock recycling plants. If successful, the ou...
A metric approach to the topology of Bridgeland stability spaces
This thesis concerns the topology of spaces of Bridgeland stability conditions on triangulated categories. These are interesting, if difficult to compute, geometric invariants of t...
Ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like proteins in the immune system
The posttranslational modification of proteins is a fundamental process in all organisms. For instance, ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like protein modifications play critical roles in vi...
Immune regulation of the secreted matrix barrier: Defining the control and function of goblet cells and mucins following helminth infection
Mucus is an essential protective hydrogel that overlays the body’s mucosal surfaces, composed of gel-forming mucins and various other associated proteins. When its quantity and qua...
Incorporating self- and world-models in neural networks for flexible robot learning and control
Established methods for robotic control are inflexible in adapting to new tasks. Recently, deep neural network based methods for interactive control, termed reinforcement learning,...
Elastic and Self-Healing Artificial Interphases for Beyond-Lithium-Ion Batteries
Lithium metal-based batteries constitute a promising battery technology, offering higher energy densities. However, their application is hindered by rapid degradation and potential...
Active Phased Arrays and Deep Integration
This is a PhD research project in Electrical Engineering. During the 3.5-years studentship, the student will be trained with both hardware and software knowledge, from the active...
Clinically trusted Artificial Intelligence and medical image analysis for monitoring inflammatory arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are the two most prevalent forms of inflammatory arthritis that cause autoimmune-induced joint inflammation leading to struc...
An evo-devo approach to invasive biology and adaption to climate change
The Evo-Devo Approach Predicting how species will fare with climate change and understanding invasive biology to aid remediation and are themes intrinsically coupled to evolutio...
Bio-augmented Concrete
Research Statement on the broad area of study Concrete as we know is the most popular material in the construction industry. When it comes to infrastructure, organisations look at...
Digital transformation in construction projects - The project manager's role, responsibilities and competences
Even in 2020 the construction industry is one of the world's least digitalised, despite potential productivity gains and cost reductions. The reasons for this are manifold, but som...
Operando Studies of Electrocatalysis for Hydrogen Production Using Pioneering Vibrational Spectroscopic Techniques
1. Development of UV Raman (248 nm) instrument for fluorescence free measurements with sample interface. 2. Explore additional process analytical opportunities for Raman applicati...
The human right to self-determination and rights-talk in late socialist Yugoslavia, 1966- 1989.
My thesis will assess rights-talk in late socialist Yugoslavia, focussing especially on the right to self-determination, a central tenet of socialist human rights. This will contr...
Predicting the ecological impacts of invasive alien insects at multiple levels: from genes to communities
Biological invasions are global phenomena that impact ecosystems, the economy and human, animal and plant health. The rate at which biological invasions occur has grown exponential...
Optimisation of flow of electrolytes through electrodes in organic aqueous redox flow batteries
The main aim of this project is to improve the performance of organic aqueous redox flow batteries (OARFBs) by manufacturing electrodes that optimise electrolyte flow distribution...
PhD Research Studentship in Airframe Aerodynamics and Control using Electric Ducted Fans.
As part of the global push for the electrification of aviation, electric ducted fans (EDFs) are gaining increasing use to propel novel concepts emerging in the Urban Air Mobility (...
Investigating TNT-mediated mitochondrial transfer as a response to mitochondrial import failure
Mitochondria are membranous organelles that produce the major source of cellular energy. Mitochondrial energy production is dependent on proteins made in the cytosol and imported i...
Predicting and monitoring outcomes in Autoimmune Encephalitis
Autoimmune encephalitis (AE) is an inflammatory disease of the brain. This means that the body’s own immune system attacks the brain, just like it would if it were attacking a viru...
