High pressure studies of the candidate quantum magnetoelectric TbTaO4
Terbium tantalate is a recently discovered candidate quantum magnetoelectric which orders antiferromagnetically at 2.25 K and displays an enhancement of dielectric response at low...
Reconciling protection of foreign national victims of forced criminality with effective immigration control: is a new approach required?
The proposed research will investigate and analyse the support available to, and impacts of, immigration control on foreign national victims of modern slavery (as defined by the Mo...
3D bioprinted light responsive hydrogel materials for cartilage tissue analogues
Articular cartilage defects are a significant and health problem for millions worldwide, especially in an aging population. Effective cartilage regeneration remains elusive. A prom...
Quantum aspects of Cosmological spacetimes
We will investigate the quantum aspects of cosmological spacetimes referring to lower dimensional models when necessary.An emphasis will be placed on non-standard contributions to...
Mobile Robotic Inspector: Learning to Explore and Manipulate in the Real World
This collaborative research proposal between the Oxford Robotics Institute (ORI) and the ETH extends themes of embodied robotic intelligence outlined in Oxford's ongoing Progr...
Evolvability in mammal morphology
Mammals (class Mammalia) span a tremendous range of sizes, from < 2 g for the Etruscan shrew to > 180,000 kg for the blue whale. Moreover, their shapes also vary, fro...
mRNA selection for translation: beyond the canonical view
A central tenet of biology is that information found in the DNA of genes is converted into a messenger RNA molecule (mRNA), which is then translated into a chain of amino acids cal...
Saggy Tits and Wobbly Bits: Postpartum Bodies in Live Art
Context: This practice-based research project will critically examine, challenge, and redefine existing representations of postpartum bodies and cultural norms around motherhood, g...
Plant Immunity in a Changing Climate: The Mode of Action of NLR Immune Receptors in High Temperatures
Plant disease resistance is fundamental to agriculture, safeguarding crop health and productivity.However, a significant challenge arises as most plant disease resistance proteins,...
EvoDevo of key anatomical novelties of the Fish-Tetrapod transition
Elegant palaeontological work over the past two decades by Clack, Ahlberg and others has established a sequence of pivotal character transformations that happened before and around...
Quantum sensing with levitated optomechanical systems
Levitated optomechanics deals with controlling the mechanical motion of nanoscale objects in vacuum, resulting in highly isolated mechanical oscillators. Recent landmark experiment...
Post-Deportation Life in Ghana. The Entanglements of Temporality and Gendered Relationships in Deportees Experiences of Forced Return.
The management and control of irregular migration has attracted growing attention globally in the past two decades, in the media, within academia and in policymaking. This resulted...
An exploration of students', parents', and teachers' experiences with behaviour-tracking apps in secondary schools.
My research will focus on the app 'ClassCharts'. This software enables the monitoring and tracking of individual student behaviour, where teachers can award positive and...
Development of NetZero carbonated recycled aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete
Aiming at sustainable development goals, environmental agendas related to global warming deserve to be highlighted due to the urgency of the theme.The annual emission of 3.6 billio...
Dressed for the Field: Gender, Bodies, and Society through the Material Culture of Field Hockey, 1880 to the present.
Women's field hockey emerged during the late 19th when sporting culture for women was motivated by health and education (Watson, 2016). It grew from a 'fashionable countr...
Physiological relevance of synaptic compensatory plasticity in freely behaving animals
Project Description for Find-A-PhD Advert (max 400 words).Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterised by the loss of synapses, which strongly correlates with the onset of cognit...
Map based cloning and characterisation of plant loci conferring resistance to the root infecting fungus (4978)
Ensuring global food security for the ever-growing global population is a major concern. Fungal pathogens destroy a substantial amount of all food and feed crops each year (~15%)....
Automated prediction of health and welfare in captive fish using behaviour from video
This project aims to develop a new approach to assessing and predicting poor health and welfare in captive fish, with potential application in aquaculture, laboratories and aquariu...
Vibrotactile feedback to close the loop with bone anchored prostheses
TBC
Deep Raman Imaging
Raman spectroscopy is a molecularly specific technique which allows identification of analytes due to their unique vibrational fingerprint. However, normal Raman is limited in its...
