Investigating the influence of World Bank's loan Conditionalities on Health System Reforms in Low-Income Countries: A Case Study of Afghanistan
This study explores how and to what extent the World Bank's loan conditionalities influenced health system reforms in low-income countries. Over the decades, the Bank's r...
EPSRC CDT in Inorganic Materials for Advanced Manufacturing
This student is enrolled on the IMAT CDT funded through an EPSRC CDT grant.The research project and department will be chosen at the end of the first year of study and this record...
The development of a Quantity of Interest non-linear error estimation tool for large scale aerospace structures.
This PhD research project aims to address this gap in understanding by taking a combined experimental and numerical approach to investigate the subject area. The project will:Valid...
How ought compassion bear on blaming and punitive practices in criminal law?
Compassion is an important part of interpersonal interactions, but it is often neglected in public life. This deficit is particularly significant in the criminal law. This is indee...
Spotting Ice! (SPICE): infrared light-field tracking of icy particles
The overarching aim of our research is to study the structure and behaviour of the dusty and icy material that dominates the space environments where stars and planets form. In par...
A study of DNA methylation using coagulation-fragmentation based models
DNA methylation occurs when chemical methyl groups attach to DNA at genomic loci known as CpG sites. DNA methylation patterns vary between different types of cells and tissues, and...
Neural Circuitry underpinning Learning in the Olfactory System
Learning is a fundamental feature of brains; they rewire their circuitry to store new information, such as an association between a stimulus and its positive or negative outcome.Th...
Transcription factors, enhancers and control of cell fate
Accurate gene expression is fundamental to life. Gene expression is controlled by transcription factors binding to regulatory elements in the genome (enhancers). Transcription fact...

Towards AI-assisted Digitalisation of Structural Engineering Workflows
The current landscape of structural engineering is fragmented and in a state of flux between 2D plans used by builders and 2D or 3D plans used by architects.Many structural enginee...
Combining CMB polarization and galaxy surveys for cosmology and astrophysics
Cosmology offers a unique way to investigate open questions in fundamental physics, e.g. understanding 1) the nature of dark matter, a type of matter that interacts only gravitatio...
How does drug crystal shape and size influence drug transfer and retention in arterial tissue?
Drug-eluting stents (DES) and drug-coated balloons (DCB) are used to treat patients with obstructive coronary artery disease. Despite intense research over the past two decades, th...
Antibiotics and the response to infection
Antibiotics have a beneficial effect in human health by controlling bacterial infections. However, it is now obvious that treatment with antibiotics may affect human health at late...
Ageing healthily in Britain's coastal communities: understanding the potential of intergenerational engagement to reduce health inequalities in later
The proposed research the aims to address health inequalities among older individuals in coastal communities of England and Wales, with a focus on investigating the potential benef...
High entropy organic semiconductor blends for new optoelectronic and photonically active materials
Limiting global warming to 1.5 C requires net zero CO2 emissions by 2050 and necessitates renewable electricity reaching 63-81% of total energy generation. Photovoltaic technologie...
Who Answers What to Which? A Critical Examination of Survey Items in Measuring Public Attitudes Towards the British Welfare State
The British Social Attitudes Survey (BSAS) is a rich dataset that enables the examination of attitudes toward the British welfare state spanning four decades. The data has led to i...
Pioneering the next generation of flexible and adaptable environmental models: a case study of emerging contaminants
We are seeking an enthusiastic student to pioneer the next generation of environmental modelling innovation. Sitting at the intersection of disciplines, this exciting opportunity w...
Detection enhancement in Ge-based single photon avalanche diodes
In this project, I aim to develop Single Photon Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) that are capable of highly sensitive 3D imaging, with potential applications in healthcare, autonomous vehi...
Characterisation and inhibition of snake venom metalloproteinases for next-generation antivenom
Snake venoms are mixtures of toxins, including snake venom metalloproteinases (SVMPs), which cause severe snakebite effects like tissue damage, bleeding, and coagulation disorders,...
TENSAR - Theory and Experiment for Nuclear Structure, Astrophysics & Reactions
For a hundred years, atomic nuclei have been probed more or less exclusively by studying collisions between stable beams and stable targets. This restricted the nuclei that could b...
