Using machine learning to link neural structure, genetics, and cognition in a neurodiverse population
The purpose of this research is to gain a mechanistic understanding of why neural structure and cognitive outcomesdiffer between people, creating the neurodiversity we see in the p...
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero (FIBE3 CDT)
Civil infrastructure is the key to unlocking net zero. To achieve the ambitious UK targets of net zero by 2050, we require innovative approaches to design, construction, and operat...
Growing Up Queer: 1790-1918
Through the lens of the 'home', my project seeks to explore how queer individuals across the long nineteenth century conceptualised and experienced the domestic environme...
The impact of institutional interventions on the identities of domestic abuse victims: a linguistic ethnography exploring identity, power and control.
Aims of the researchIn this study I aim to uncover the impacts of professional institutional interventions on the identities of victim-survivors of domestic abuse. Why this is impo...
Impact of environmental change on the dynamics of freshwater zooplankton and their parasites
Zooplankton are arguably the most important trophic group in lake ecosystems. Their grazing controls algal populations, including harmful or nuisance blooms and they themselves pro...
Influence of energetic particles on plasma turbulence
Future fusion power plants will operate with a Deuterium-Tritium mixture that will produce highly energetic alpha particles and neutrons as products from the DT fusion reaction. Th...
Replacing valproate with a safer, broad-spectrum drug for epilepsy treatment
Epilepsy is a major health concern, affecting around 1 in 30 people in their lifetime. About one third of people with epilepsy have seizures that are not well controlled with curre...
Coexistence of Magnetism and Superconductivity in Iron-Based Superconductors; Applications in High Current Conductors at High Magnetic Fields
In this project, the interplay between superconductivity and magnetism in recently discovered magnetic iron-based superconductors will be explored with a view to realising lossless...
The past, present and future of a community-owned estate: building resilient 'future heritage' in West Harris
The West Harris estate has experienced a unique twentieth-century trajectory: illegal land occupation; governmental purchase; and community land ownership.It nevertheless shares th...

How do the patterns of Intelligent Tutoring Systems use vary by school socioeconomic status?
This mixed methods study examines how usage and effectiveness of the MathsPathway intelligent tutoring system (ITS) platform varies across Australian schools of differing socioecon...
Microstructural Evolution in Shear Thickening Fluids
Dense granular suspensions (e.g. concrete, foods and pharmaceuticals) can experience Discontinuous Shear Thickening (DST) in which a low-viscosity liquid transitions abruptly to a...
AI-Imagery Detection and Counter-Misinformation Strategies in Social Media
Central Research QuestionsThe proposed research focuses on understanding the potential dangers of AI-generated imagery in spreading misinformation, particularly in the context of s...

Building Habitable Worlds
The Solar System formed from the collapse of a molecular cloud of gas and dust ~4.6 billion years ago. But how did that gas and dust coalesce into the Sun and eight planets that we...
Towards Resilient Communication Protocols
At a high level, the objective of this research is to automate the addition of crash handling behaviour to protocols that describe the agenda of communication between participants...
Evolution of spatially structured microbial populations in variable environments
Most microbial populations in the wild, from biofilms to the microbiome, exhibit characteristic spatial structure where individuals replicate, die and interact depending on their l...
Leaving a legacy of social justice? Donor perceptions and bequest decisions in UK HEIs.
Aim one: investigate how alumni givers and development professionals understand the role and impact of their philanthropic contributions to HE and its role in enabling social justi...
Turbomachinery for Future Energy Systems
The aim of the project is to work with Siemens Energy to investigate the design of turbomachinery components, such as axial-flow compressors, using 'advanced' working flu...
Assessing Impacts of Combined Sewage Overflows and Surface Water Outfalls on Invertebrate Populations in River Catchments in Southwest England (5059)
Freshwater systems are considered to be the most threatened globally and chemical pollution has contributed significantly to freshwater wildlife population declines. It is importan...
