1. Fully Funded PhD Position in wave/wind structure interaction (WSI)
Summary of PhD Program:
The study of wave/wind structure interaction (WSI) is fundamental to the design and development of coastal, offshore and ocean engineering structures, including sea defences and emerging offshore renewable energy (ORE) technologies (for conversion of wind, wave and tidal energy to electricity). With the wide availability and constant improvement of in-house, commercial and open-source codes, covering the full spectrum of model fidelity and efficiency, numerical modelling in the form of a so-called numerical wave tank (NWT) has become an indispensable part of WSI research and industrial applications. However, modelling applications involving complex WSI accurately and efficiently, especially those associated with extreme marine conditions, is particularly challenging because these are multi-physics, multi-scale problems.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Comprehensive biomarker identification
Summary of PhD Program:
Ageing is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that involves a gradual decline of physiological systems and cellular processes. It is usually quantified as a measurement of the time elapsed since birth (i.e. chronological age). However, this simple count cannot explain the large variations in the ageing trajectories that exist between older people of similar age. For these reasons, researchers have tried to identify alternative descriptions of ageing based on assessments that reflect the ‘biological age’ of an individual. This was linked to the interactions of genes, environment and lifestyle choices.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Biosciences
Summary of PhD Program:
The project is focused on applying state-of-the-art tools and technologies to learn how inflammatory signals traverse the blood-brain-barrier and contribute to neurodegeneration in cerebrovascular disease. You will learn from our researchers how to apply human induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSC) to convolute an in vitro chip-based complex cell model of the neurovascular unit (NVU). This NVU model will be the base to then utilise lentivirally transduced genetic reporters as quantitative readouts for neuronal and glial inflammation. You will then be instructed on applying AI/machine learning protocols to spatiotemporally quantitate these multi-fluorescence outputs in the NVU model with the aim of modelling extracellular vesicle-mediated inflammation.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in endocrine disrupting chemicals
Summary of PhD Program:
British waterways are in a critical state, from sewage dumping and overflows to runoff of anthropogenic chemicals from roadways, industrial discharge and agricultural land. Water pollution can have serious consequences for wildlife, degrading aquatic ecosystems and biodiversity across many trophic levels. However, many polluted aquatic habitats, including sewage and wastewater treatment plants, are known to be profitable food sources for insectivorous songbirds. Swallows and martins are particularly reliant on these foraging sites as they often are sources of high-value prey, even as insect populations are on the decline.

Summary of PhD Program:
This studentship is offered as part of wider Manchester Met investment in our future thought leaders, this represents an opportunity to join the Faculty of Science and Engineering’s growing doctoral research community committed to excellent research with impact. Ocean waves are crucial in engineering and environmental sciences. Energetic waves can severely damage seawalls, ships, oil/gas platforms and marine renewable energy infrastructure. More broadly, ocean waves also influence the earth’s climate, weather, and eco-systems by facilitating the mass and heat exchange across the air-sea interface. Accurate estimate of mass and heat transfer in waves is of utmost importance in: 1) formulating more accurate weather forecasting models, and 2) better predicting extreme loadings on marine structures.

Summary of PhD Program:
This studentship is part of Manchester Metropolitan University’s investment in future thought leaders and offers an opportunity to join the Faculty of Science and Engineering’s growing doctoral research community focused on impactful research. Aortic valve stenosis (AS) causes significant morbidity and mortality, with severe cases increasing the risk of heart failure, syncope, and sudden cardiac death. Echocardiography and CT are key for assessing AS severity, but conventional methods are time-consuming and susceptible to intra- and inter-observer variations. Current AI models use single modality inputs, failing to effectively integrate data from multiple sources due to their heterogeneity.
