PhD Studentship: EPSRC Supported EngD Project. Development and Modelling of Process Control for Scale Up and Optimisation of Pharmaceutical High Shear Wet Granulation

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...

ARCANE is a collaborative research project across three leading UK universities and Rolls-Royce plc. The project aims to develop the state-of-the-art scientific understanding of nucleation defect formation within directionally solidified single crystal (SX) castings, and their role in the reduction in mechanical performance, through novel experimental...

Wet wipes, coming in different shapes and forms such as baby wipes, wet towels, antibacterial hand wipes, medical textiles, are essential to our daily life as a practical hygiene and cleaning product. Global market for wet wipes was around 15.2 Billion USD in 2022, and is projected to reach 33.8 Billion USD by 2030. The sector has transitioned from using...

Hair conditioning is an essential process to our daily life, whereby a layer of formulated product is deposited on hair surface, resulting in desirable benefits. Its global market was ~ 9.14 Billion USD in 2021, and has a significant impact on not only the wellbeing of human, but the environment. The chemical compounds deposited on hair fibres include fatty...

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...

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...

In a world facing climate crisis, it is vital to develop new ways to mitigate climate change. This project, funded by Origen Carbon Solutions, focuses on the modelling and optimisation of innovative Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. DAC is a developing technology for removing CO2 from the atmosphere where the CO2...

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,...

A PhD Studentship is available for a suitably qualified candidate to conduct research leading to the award of a PhD degree in the fields of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. The successful candidate will join the world-leading Advanced Nano Materials, Structures and Applications (ANMSA) Group, one of the leading academic groups in the field of development...

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,...
