Antimicrobial peptoids: Investigating the mechanisms of a novel class of therapeutics against the ESKAPE pathogens
The global burden of multidrug resistant bacteria requires the rapid development of alternatives for conventional antibiotics. One group of bacterial pathogens known as the ESKAPE...
Studies of the FASER Calorimeter and Searches for New Physics with LHC Run 3 Data
FASER is a new experiment at the LHC designed to detect light and weakly-interacting particles predicted by several extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics [1]. It aim...
Investigating Habitability of sporadic environments throughout Mars' history
This project aims to investigate the habitability of sporadic environments throughout Mars' history, using a combination of microbiological and planetary simulation techniques. It...
Particles, Plasma and Electromagnetic Waves in the Inner Heliosphere
The physics of the solar system plasma in the near-Sun environment presents a major challenge in astrophysics. This is the key region of space responsible for the birth of the sola...
Remodelling of cellular RNA Metabolism during Prader-Willi syndrome
The major aim of this project is to determine how cellular RNA metabolism is remodelled during inherited genetic disorders, specifically using Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) as a mode...
Super-resolution imaging of RNA structures and processes
In addition to carrying genetic information, the flexibility and dynamics of RNA molecules allows them to fold into specific structures that dictate their fate and role in many cru...
Nickel Catalysis with Sterically-Hindered Substrates
Nickel catalysis offers many opportunities for synthetic chemistry, including new reactions to access new chemical space, and the replacement of expensive and less green heavy meta...
Resilient protection systems for more-electric and hybrid electric aircraft applications
More-electric and hybrid electric aerospace systems offer the potential to deliver improved efficiency and reduced emissions and are a key part of the transition to low carbon flig...
Low energy electron recoil searches with LUX ZEPLIN.
The LUX-ZEPLIN direct dark matter search experiment offers the opportunity to test new and exciting extensions to the Standard Model of particle physics. A number of candidates for...
Computational and experimental electrophysiology of eukaryotic and viral ion channels
In electrically excitable cells such as neurons or muscle cells, ion channels enable electric signal transmission, for instance by electric action potentials or calcium release. In...
Plasma Recycling of Polymers as Value Added Organics
This is a PhD research project in Chemistry. Chlorinated polymers are currently considered intractable in terms of recycling and consigned to landfill. We have been exploring the p...
Optimising transmission infrastructure for accelerated offshore wind
Offshore wind is growing rapidly with a push for clean, renewable energy in the United Kingdom and a transition towards this direction globally. Offshore wind is predicted to have...
Probabilistic assessment of structural integrity of composite components in offshore wind energy
Studies show that a significant number of offshore wind turbine generators (WTGs) will reach the end of their type certified design life before 2030 (Adedipe and Shafiee 2021) and...
Functions & Applications of a Novel Stem Cell Signalling Pathway
The Findlay lab employs cutting-edge technologies to unravel Embryonic Stem (ES) cell signalling networks (Williams et al Cell Rep 2016, Fernandez-Alonso et al EMBO Rep 2017, Ferna...
Harnessing genome characterization to uncover disease mechanisms
My project is with the Complex Traits Genetics group, supervised by Dr Sara Knott, Dr Pau Navarro and Prof Chris Haley. The aim of the project is to utilize bioinformatics and stat...
Semi-Discrete Optimal Transport Techniques for the Compressible Semi-Geostrophic Equations
In my research, I employ semi-discrete optimal transport methods to rigorously establish the uniqueness and existence of solutions for the three-dimensional compressible semi-geost...
Sequential Bayesian inference in complex and realistic dynamical systems
This PhD position will be at the interesting overlap between computational statistics, Bayesian analysis, statistical signal processing, and machine learning, motivated by applicat...
Synthetic chromosomes to understand genome instability
Genome instability is a foundational hallmark of cancer, which results in increased genetic diversity, thereby promoting tumour evolution. However, as a multitude of complex factor...
Circular Economy for Offshore Wind
Wind power is a renewable energy source which has seen a huge increase in usage over the past 50 years. For decades, wind power has been seen as a clean source of energy, but now...
400 Million Years of Sugar Transport in Plants: unearthing the evolutionary origin of the phloem in the Rhynie chert
Working at the interface between the Life and Earth Sciences you will investigate major unanswered questions about one of the most important but least well understood plant tissues...
