PhD Studentship: Development of Novel Miniaturized Device Technologies for Point-of-Need Diagnostics

Protonic ceramics represent an emergent class of materials that have potential utility in several intermediate-temperature electrochemical applications, including the production of "green" hydrogen. Renewable-derived electricity can be used to drive steam electrolysis to form H2 and O2 products in a proton-conducting ceramic electrolyser (PCCEL). However,...

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...

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,...

Within the human body, the intricate network of blood vessels plays a pivotal role in transporting nutrients and oxygen, maintaining homeostasis, and supporting overall health. However, vascular diseases pose significant challenges and impact global mortality rates. There is a clinical need to develop artificial blood vessels to replace and regenerate...

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,...

Background: The UK and the World are rapidly shifting towards multi-energy systems, such as districts and industrial parks with large amounts of renewable electricity, renewable heating & cooling, clean fuels (e.g. H2,) as well as new energy technologies (e.g. heat pumps, energy storage, electrolysers, etc).However, how to best integrate renewable energy...
