Evaporating arrays of droplets have attracted a lot of attention for their potential applications in areas such as microfluidics and surface patterning. When many droplets evaporate near each other, in an array, their individual local environments begin to interact and change the evaporation rates of their neighboring droplets. This means that as the droplet...

Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.For example, when analysed at the micron-scale, biological membranes can be treated as continuum objects that deform regulated by effective properties such as curvature mismatch or active forces. Those...

The burgeoning field of synthetic biology offers promising avenues for engineering artificial cells with tailored functionalities for diverse biomedical applications. This PhD project aims to explore novel strategies for designing and constructing synthetic cells capable of performing complex tasks, mimicking natural cellular behaviors, and interfacing with...

Summary: This research proposal addresses challenges in the UK's construction industry, focusing on sustainability & safety. It aims to develop machine learning models that combine data from similar infrastructure and integrate information from previous inspections to predict potential problems. The models will also account for the impact of changing climate...

Worldwide decentralized water and wastewater systems, including in UK rural areas and Islands, can have a high cost and be unreliable, often failing during treatment. This project is part of the EPSRC Programme Grant "Decentralized Water Technologies", a consortium of several Universities, aiming at accelerating the delivery of sustainable and low-cost...

The projections of sea level rise show that UK sea level will continue to rise well beyond 2100, even under scenarios where future temperature rise is stopped. Extreme sea level events are also expected to become more frequent in the future and occurring about 20 to 30 times more frequently by the year 2050, according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for a postdoc to undertake novel research at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning. The candidate will be based in Visual Computing Group ) and will be supervised by Dr. Hakan Bilen. There will be many collaborative opportunities both within the school as well as with...

Antimicrobial coating industry is rapidly growing. This is to prevent the serious problems caused by bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on the surfaces of many devices. The project to be carried out in the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh is going to combine anti-adhesive approach to prevent bacterial adsorption...

Microfluidic devices can achieve high sensitivity and receive results rapidly in diseases diagnosis. As one example of their broad applications, microfluidic devices have the potential in rapid identification of bacteria in patients' biological samples. This can help physicians prescribe appropriate antibiotics quickly, enabling improved treatment and...
