PhD Studentship: EPSRC Supported EngD. The Effects of Cleansing on Skin Microbiota

As the largest organ of human being, skin acts as a barrier to the external environment, and accommodates a diverse microbiota comprised of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and microeukaryotes. Most of such skin microbes are harmless or commensal organisms that play essential roles in inhibiting colonization by pathogenic microbes or modulating innate and adaptive...

Effective, efficient, and residue-free washing has long been a result sought by users of automatic dishwashers. Understanding the processes and mechanisms involved in the wash phases of an automatic dishwashing cycle, which lead to the formation of spots and thin film on dishware, is important to enable the development of superior automatic dishwashing...

Effective, residue free washing has long been a result sought by automatic dishwasher users. Understanding the different processes and mechanisms in the wash phases of an automatic dishwashing cycle, which lead to the formation of spots and filming on dishware is important to enable the development of superior automatic dishwashing products and ensure...

Johnson Matthey [JM] makes formulated products, catalysing the net zero transition. These are heavily characterised and tested during product development and manufacturing. The move towards better process efficiency, product control and increasing digitisation of manufacturing plant leads inexorably to a need for improved on-line measurement, and real time...

The influence of plastic pollution on our environment has been well documented, however, there remains a knowledge gap between relating to how new polymers and plastics might biodegrade. To this end, we have a fully funded PhD studentship (due to eligibility criteria, only for UK applicants) that will focus on developing sustainable polymer platforms,...

We aim to develop a new data-driven tool to unravel context-dependency and enhance resilience-based management of transport infrastructure assets, by integrating computational modelling and AI. The primary objective of this PhD program is to enhance advanced Finite Element (FE) models by incorporating data sourced from diverse outlets like digital twins,...

Tribology's importance is not limited to mechanical components of engineering systems such as a gearbox. The investigation of friction and wear can be applied to many applications. One of the important fields is skin tribology, particularly for medical and sportswear applications in relative static and dynamic conditions. The friction between skin and...
