The Centre for National Training and Research Excellence in Understanding behaviour (CENTRE-UB) is inviting applications for a Doctoral Studentship in association with our collaborative partners Transport for West Midlands (TfWM) to start in October 2024. Increasingly, people use different personal travel modes (e.g., driving; walking; wheeling; cycling;...

The burden of medical plastic waste has become an increasingly pressing concern in recent years. The healthcare industry relies heavily on single-use plastic items due to their convenience and hygiene factors, but this has led to a significant environmental problem. Improper disposal and inadequate recycling of medical plastics contribute to pollution,...

The field of medical imaging and precision medicine has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, driven by the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, such as generative models, foundation models, multi-modal learning algorithms, and large language models. These technologies can revolutionize healthcare by enabling accurate diagnosis,...

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...

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,...

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...

PhD Birmingham UK Students Please refer to the advert text Full Time 2nd May 2024 30th August 2024Geotechnical, tunnelling and mining industries are constantly challenged by problematic soils with low strength, both high expansivity (swell shrink) and high collapsibility behaviours, and a suite of other challenging engineering behaviours. As such these...

The terahertz band (100 GHz to 10 THz) lies in-between the frequency range of traditional electronics and optics. This band will form the basis for future 6G communications and is currently getting prominence in trace molecular sensing due to the existence of unique terahertz fingerprints of molecules and the non-invasive, non-ionising nature of terahertz...
