PhD Studentship: Automated High Throughput Machine Learning-guided Condition Optimisation for Biocatalysis

To achieve net zero in chemicals synthesis and production, low energy approaches are critical. Here, biocatalysis provides not just a low-energy solution, but one which can also be highly selective, important in the production of high purity chiral materials such as pharmaceuticals. Use of biocatalysis at scale has been limited, however, due to the need to...

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...

Current AI models are not designed to reuse and share knowledge. When conditions change, e.g., data distributions, locations, or platforms, retraining needs to occur from scratch. In some cases, like for foundation models or for complex robotics tasks, the process requires very large amount of data and energy. Recent advances towards lifelong learning and...

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...

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...

DC Microgrids (MG) can connect various renewable generators and energy storage and play a vital role in the goal of reaching Net Zero.The overall management of a DC MG relies on reliable communication and information flow between power electronic interfaces. Dual modulation of power and data is an emerging technology for DG MGs, where data is transmitted on...

Sarcopenia is characterised by a loss of muscle strength, muscle mass, as well as low physical performance, and is now classified as a disease in its own right. Although often associated with ageing, it is also recognised as a complication of numerous other long term health conditions (e.g. chronic kidney disease) and is associated with worse clinical...
