3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nanoscale computer modelling of blush in protective coatings, Natural Sciences
Summary of PhD Program:
Aluminium drinks cans are ubiquitous in everyday life to store and transport beverages and other liquids. These cans have an internal protective coating that acts to protect both the internal contents and the can itself. During coating development, simulation tests have been created to increase the speed of iteration and reduce the time required to screen prototypes. One of the failure mechanisms observed during these is an undesirable whitening (or blush) of the polymer film. The work will develop a nanoscale model of a simple coating using state-of-the-art computational approaches including molecular dynamics and free energy calculations to unravel the fundamental science behind the causes of blush.
Application Deadline: 12th April 2024
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in THz and mm-wave detection through silicon luminescence
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project we will develop a new technology for detecting THz and mm-waves, exploiting a very recent discovery by the Exeter THz group: by measuring heating induced changes to luminescence, one can make a very sensitive detector for these frequencies. This discovery, once fully developed, could have wide ranging applications, effectively turning any silicon based camera, such as a modern smartphone, into a sensitive THz detector.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dunhill Medical Trust Doctoral Training Programme for Ageing Research
Summary of PhD Program:
Rehabilitation in hospital typically includes a programme of exercise and education to help improve health and reduce disability. Having low blood pressure might stop people aged over 70 from taking part in rehabilitation or from getting the same benefit as those without low blood pressure. This might lead to longer hospital stays, higher risk of falling and need for more care on discharge from hospital.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Marine Turtle Conservation
Summary of PhD Program:
An understanding of individual variation in life history traits is of great importance for the management of species of conservation concern to derive more accurate population models and stock assessments and evaluate the impacts of threats such as fisheries bycatch. Individual-based longitudinal data for long-lived, migratory species with slow life histories are, however, often lacking, especially for marine species with complex life cycles that present challenges to effectively monitor over such a long timespan.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Inequalities, barriers and enablers to dementia diagnosis and support
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD studentship explores inequalities in dementia pathways, particularly initial access to diagnosis as an entry point to treatment and care. Underdiagnosis of dementias is an ongoing issue across the UK and these are patterned by social location, reflecting factors such as deprivation, ethnicity, urban and rural dwelling and living circumstances. Knowledge and understanding of inequalities in accessing diagnosis and support for those living with dementia requires further study to ensure more inclusive dementia services. Those living with a dementia diagnosis have themselves reflected on the challenges and barriers to obtaining diagnosis and support.

Summary of PhD Program:
This research project aims to create new and innovative planning and control algorithms to enable complex data collection using “swarms” – groups of multiple resources that work together as a collaborative system. Both centralized and decentralized architectures will be examined. An underlying information network, representing a time-varying graph network, will guide the swarm’s performance. The mathematical properties (algebraic) will be used to ensure optimal mission performance and resilience of the swarm.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integrating Spontaneous and Coherent Raman Scattering to Advance Analytical Capability
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to develop a novel technology that merges the complementary capabilities of Raman and coherent Raman scattering microscopy. Raman and coherent Raman scattering (CRS) are both advanced optical analytical techniques used for a wide range of materials and healthcare technologies research. Raman provides detailed molecular information based on the spectral signature of photons inelastically scattered by molecular vibrations. In contrast, CRS microscopy uses ultrafast laser pulses to drive nonlinear light-matter interactions to enhance the signal from a specific vibrational frequency to provide real-time label-free image contrast based on the intensity of a single Raman band.
