Understanding the Use of Evidence in Civil Service Policy Making
Aims and objectivesThe main aim of this studentship is to understand the methods and reasons behind the Civil Service's use of social science evidence in shaping government po...
Non-adiabatic dynamics simulations of light-driven chemistry at surfaces
In molecular photochemistry, incident light triggers an electronic excitation. The consequence of this is ultrafast coupled electron-nuclear dynamics and the associated breakdown o...
Spatially-resolving exoplanet atmospheres
The project combines transmission spectroscopy observations of transiting exoplanets from ground-based and space-based telescopes to measure the composition of giant planet atmosph...
Media consumption, macroeconomic expectations, and financial decision-making
With increasing economic uncertainty in the United Kingdom, the opportunity to investigate potential determinants of economic expectations and how these expectations impact individ...
Functional organic dyes: synthesis, supramolecular chemistry and photophysics
This project will aim to prepare novel functional organic dye derivatives and understand how their supramolecular chemistry governs their fundamental photophysics, for ultimate app...
Art and Activism: Mexico's Sexual Liberation Movement and the Gay Cultural Circle
In the initial phase of Mexico's sexual revolution (1978-1986), art contributed to articulating the movement's core ideas and giving rise to a distinct aesthetic. This re...
Gut microbiome in ageing - is it the answer to leukaemia progression
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a highly lethal disease in which the overall survival rate for over 75-year olds has not improved over the last 25-years (1, 2). AML is primarily a...
Developing new algorithms and software for explaining complex structured data in biology: sonification and visualisation of phylogenetic trees
Abstract:This interdisciplinary project will develop algorithms and software combining sonification and visualisation, to help students better understand complex, tree-structured d...
Acoustic insect crop pest monitoring
Understanding the connection between insects and agriculture is critical for sustainable, high yield agriculture. From pests and pollinators, to predators, insects play a number of...
Geometric flows and special holonomy
Special holonomy is a central topic within Geometry, since it currently provides the only non-trivial mechanism for constructing compact spaces which are Ricci-flat: such spaces go...
Resolving cosmological tensions with diverse data, novel theories and Bayesian machine learning
Our Universe is expanding faster than we expected. The standard model of cosmology predicts a Hubble constant which differs substantially from what we measure it to be. Far from be...
Against Monolingualism, 1975-1996: Jacques Derrida's Transformation of the Dichter-Denker Paradigm via the Poetry of Ponge, Deguy, and Khatibi
My project compares the philosophical exploration of poetry's sociopolitical potential in two 20th century thinkers, Martin Heidegger and Jacques Derrida.
Microeconomic theory, behavioural economics, experimental economics
I studied the optimal task ordering when the agent is forced to complete two tasks with distinct complexity levels.Each task is modelled as an optimal stopping problem where the ag...
Landscape of Post-War Reservoirs: Environment, Conservation and Perception
This Collaborative Doctoral Award is part of an AHRC NWCDTP funded team project, titled 'Waterborne: The heritage, culture and environment of UK reservoirs', a collaborat...
The aesthetic value of AI-generated art
Experts struggle to distinguish AI-generated art from human creations, and the underlying technology will only become more sophisticated (Lawson-Tancred, 2023). This issue spans ac...

The End of the Assize: Deregulating the British Bread Industry - 1800-1870
Exploiting neurological resilience controlled by Rab10 as a therapeutic target for Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's Disease (AD), affecting 30 million people globally and representing 60% of dementia cases, remains a major societal challenge.Whilst there is ongoing debate on the...

Supply UK textile industry with sustainable British-made hemp fibre
Fashion needs to clean up its act. The industry is responsible for a tenth of global emissions and 4 percent of fresh water extraction. Conventional fabrics like cotton and polyest...
Hummingbirds, Flowerpiercers and Insects - Pollinators or Nectar Robbers?
In the high Andes of northern South America, the treeline of elfin forests rises to about 3,000 m above sea level, transitioning into wet open ecosystems known as páramo...
