Forests for climate mitigation - how does tree-derived nitrogen influence soil greenhouse gas production? Case award
How does the capture and transport of nitrogen by forest trees influence the key microbial processes driving greenhouse gas emissions from soils? Answering this question will help...
Estimating livestock diets in support of improved estimation of greenhouse gas emissions for the livestock sector: a case study in East Africa
This project will use earth observation data combined with local ground truth from surveys to improve estimates of livestock diets in East Africa to support more robust estimates o...
Dynamic Adaptive Pumping of Liquid Crystal Lasers: Low Cost Tuneable Lasers for Biomedical Imaging, Security and Telecommunications
The topic of the project is "Dynamic Adaptive Pumping of Liquid Crystal (LC) Lasers" with the aim to research their capabilities to be used as low-cost tuneable lasers in...
Galaxy and Cluster Evolution in Group zoom simulations
We are performing and analysing high resolution cosmological simulations of the formation and evolution of galaxy groups and clusters, with the main goals at the present moment bei...
Increasing the rate of electric vehicle uptake with optimal infrastructure investments
The adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) for transport combined with a cleaner electrical grid will substantially reduce carbon emissions. Given that we are in a race against time,...

Investigation of brain-wide connectivity and cortical population codes for long-term memory
Memories are thought to be stored as traces distributed across the brain. How these memory traces are coordinated is a fundamental unsolved problem. This project aims to address th...
Mooring Optimisation by Full Lifecycle Assessment
Floating wind technologies have been proven to be technically viable, with projects such as Kincardine and Hywind discussed in the literature review above. However, in order to be...
Nano LEDs --> 830nm PCSEL development
Design and characterisation of the novel semiconductor device; Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers (PCSEL) for applications in Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR) includin...
Photocatalytic Water Purification for Drinking Water and Environmental Remediation
We will develop and apply solar photocatalysis for water treatment where standard methods are inappropriate or impossible to apply. The context includes drinking water in low-incom...
High bandwidth covert underwater acoustic communications
Demand within the maritime domain calls for increased use of autonomous assets for search, survey, inspection and undertaking tasks. For these assets to cooperate in an effective m...
Computational modelling human stem cell fitness of pre-leukaemic mutations
This interdisciplinary project will involve the student in a close collaboration between three research groups: Schumacher (computational modelling), Chandra (bioinformatics), and...

Optimising a microfluidic assay for sepsis diagnostics by combining numerical simulations with machine learning
Improving healthcare is one of the global challenges of our time. Sepsis (a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host immune response to infection) is linked...
PhD Proposal: Efficient Traffic Detection, Scheduling and Transmission in High-Speed Networks
More and more companies build large data centers to provide online services, including web search, online gaming, etc. To support these services, multi-rooted tree topologies have...
Identifying causal effects sizes in population genetics via Mendelian randomisation
Researchers, in the field of bio-medicine, are often interested identifying which set of biological exposures are causal of trait or disease. Due to advances in the field of causal...
Developing proteomics to look at the regulation of innate lymphoid cells by IL-33.
Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play key roles in mediating type 2 immune responses, however beyond their ability to produce cytokines the function and regulation is still poo...
Use of precision technologies and advanced analytical techniques for early detection and measurement of lameness in dairy herds
Early intervention is critical to improving treatment outcomes and reducing recurrence of lameness in dairy cows; however, this is dependent on the reliable detection of lame cows....
Applications of near-field optical spectroscopy for nano-photonic structures and devices
The project will focus on nanoscale characterisation of nano-photonic structures and devices using near-field optical spectroscopy. So far, these nanoscale structures could only be...
The Effects Of Parasites On Food Web Structure And Dynamics: New Ways To Improve Accuracy And Ecological Realism
The proposed project fits strongly within the 'Biodiversity and ecosystem function' and 'Challenged ecosystems' themes. Food webs are fundamental to our understanding of ecologica...
