2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Modelling of strain-rate effects in pharmaceutical tabletting
Summary of PhD Program:
During early-stage formulation and process development, scientists undergo extensive experimental screening campaigns and, although the tablet failure risk is reduced, there still exist risks that remain undetected and often cause issues during upscaling to production settings, leading to delays and at times undesired process changes. Being able to predict the compaction behaviour at different compression speeds, densities and compositions before formulations are transferred to large-scale production, will be a game changer in the tabletting field. Develop an experimental protocol to investigate the effect of the compression speed, tablet composition and powder characteristics on the tabletting performance.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computational Modelling of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantations
Summary of PhD Program:
The heart has four valves that work together to ensure unidirectional flow of blood. These valves are the aortic and mitral valves on the left side, and the pulmonary and tricuspid valve on the right side. Heart valve disease is when one or more of these valve do not function as they should, for instance the valve may not open fully (valve stenosis) or close fully (leaky valve or valve regurgitation). Aortic valve stenosis is one of the most common and serious heart valve diseases that, if left untreated, may lead to heart failure. Aortic valve replacement is used to treat affected patients ¿ this involves replacing the diseased valve with a prosthetic valve made from synthetic materials (e.g. mechanical valve) or animal tissue (e.g. bioprosthetic valve).

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Machine-Learning Guided Compilation
Summary of PhD Program:
Creating optimised libraries is a difficult and time-consuming task, requiring significant manual engineering effort. This process must be repeated for each new processor to take advantage of additional features, especially when it implements the latest architecture with new instructions or significant new architectural extensions, like Arm’s SVE and SME. However, advances in machine learning point towards a low-cost solution to this task by automating code generation through a series of provably correct steps. A machine-learning model will guide the search for optimised code sequences, learning the best instructions to use for given intermediate code fragments and alleviating manual engineering effort.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in determination of the structure and performance of organic friction modifiers
Summary of PhD Program:
Improvements in fuel economy are a major driver in the lubricants industry. Fuel economy shows an inverse relationship with friction and hence there have been a number of methods employed to reduce friction in engines such as the use of organic friction modifiers and understanding how they operate will allow optimised formulations to be devised. The prize is large with over 20% of global CO2 emissions being due to road transport. Additionally internal combustion engines are being phased out, and the industrial sponsor is keen to apply their leading knowledge to new business areas, wherever moving contact points exist. It is noted that 25% of the worlds energy use is used overcoming friction.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Safe Storage of Hydrogen and Carbon Dioxide in Porous Rocks
Summary of PhD Program:
A fully funded 3.5 year Ph.D studentship is available to UK nationals and outstanding international students, with Professors Lynn Gladden, Mick Mantle and Andy Sederman, to start 1 October 2024. The potential for porous rocks to play an important role in gas storage is now widely recognised. This project applies our existing expertise in mapping chemical species and fluid flows in rocks to explore the mechanism of entrapment of two different gases carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
The development of carbon dioxide entrapment methods in rocks (more often referred to as a carbon sequestration technology) is more widely recognised. Carbon dioxide can be recovered from the atmosphere and pumped underground and stored for long timescales. However, understanding the storage mechanism is important. What rock core types are most effective? Carbon dioxide can react with the porous rock structure under certain conditions and cause re-emission of carbon dioxide. By mapping the physical and chemical degradation of the rocks during carbon dioxide storage we can begin to understand and hence optimise selection of rocks for carbon dioxide storage.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Enzymatic conversion of blood group antigens in human kidneys
Summary of PhD Program:
Applications are invited for a 3-year PhD studentship funded by Kidney Research UK under the supervision of Dr Sarah Hosgood. The studentship will be based in the University of Cambridge Department of Surgery on the Cambridge Biomedical Campus. The proposed start date is 1 October 2024. In kidney transplantation, blood group compatibility is a major barrier to donor¿recipient matching. Patients with more restrictive blood types like type O or B often wait twice as long for a kidney compared to patients with blood group A. Longer waiting times are associated with poorer outcome and a higher chance of patient death. To overcome this barrier, a major research theme of our group is the use of novel machine perfusion technology for the enzymatic conversion of blood group A and B kidneys to O-type.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Turbomachinery for Future Energy Systems
Summary of PhD Program:
This project addresses this by developing design methods to improve the performance of turbomachines operating with non-conventional or ‘advanced’ fluids, which can be used to reduce energy demand and improve energy efficiency. These advanced fluids include dense-gases (such as organic vapours) and supercritical fluids (such as super-critical CO2) and are fundamental to low-carbon energy systems using Organic Rankine Cycles and sCO2 cycles. These systems are important for a range of technologies including Heat Recovery and CHP, Carbon Capture, Hydrogen Gas Turbines and Renewables. Advanced fluids can be used as working fluids for heat management systems and to augment the performance of a gas-turbine prime mover. By exploiting the very high-power densities achievable with high pressure advanced fluids, these systems can be relatively compact and therefore minimize overall system cost and size.
