PhD Studentship

This studentship will seek to better understand the holistic development of elite junior tennis players, by establishing the technical, tactical and physical characteristics of match play and training.The findings will be used to enhance junior players' training programmes and ultimately support their transition to full-time professional tennis.This PhD...

This collaborative PhD opportunity is supported by the 3Pillars Project which is a not-for-profit Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). 3Pillars Project launched a new 5-year strategy to grow and share their work in summer 2024. In addition, they were granted £300,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver their GAMEPLAN intervention over...

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI, including sports-related concussions) account for 80% of TBIs, posing a significant global public health concern. While most recover within weeks, up to 30% develop Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), marked by long-lasting physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural issues. Objective assessment and interventions are...

This PhD project, blending theoretical and experimental approaches, aims to revolutionize quantum technologies by developing ultra-precise timing counters. Central to this endeavour is the advancement of optical frequency combs, which are the cornerstone of modern optical atomic clocks. These combs, recognized with a Nobel Prize in 2005, consist of...

Climate change is a prominent, real-world, ongoing event that can cause high feelings of stress and anxiety in people. It is an ongoing challenge to try and reduce our digital carbon footprint, at both an individual and organisational level, which cumulatively has a huge impact on climate change. Digital decarbonisation provides a real-world strategy that we...

Spinal Cord Injuries (SCIs) and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) in rugby are rare, however the consequences are far-reaching: sustaining a catastrophic injury presents a rapid and life-altering shift in a rugby players' personal and social identity and their day-to-day reality. Negotiating these transitions and changes poses significant challenges to mental...

Shape, topology and chemistry of materials and structures are the ingredients to achieve multifunctionality. Combining mechanical and thermal, or permeability and bio-instructive properties in the same high-performance product require novel design, manufacture, and validation techniques, both in silico and experimentally. Traditionally this process takes a...

This project is sponsored by Network Rail and is an exciting opportunity to work on the degradation of masonry-lined tunnels, which pose a risk to UK railway infrastructure. This project will: (i) enhance understanding of the degradation processes; (ii) investigate inspection and condition assessment strategies; and (iii) develop modelling techniques,...

The AAE department at Loughborough University has a rich track record of research in tyre and friction modelling. A significant part of this expertise was developed in collaboration with industry and this project is supported by a prominent industry partner. Tyre-road friction determines the capability of a tyre to generate forces on any terrain – an...
