1. Fully Funded PhD Position in New approaches to flocculator design in water treatment

Summary of PhD Program:

Efficient coagulation and flocculation are crucial for the optimal performance of surface water treatment plants (WTWs). Coagulation alters the stability of small particles, causing them to become unstable, while flocculation promotes the agglomeration of these particles through gentle mixing, forming irregularly shaped, loosely bound flocs. Inadequate coagulation or flocculation can lead to poor-quality water entering clarifiers and filters, which may compromise the final water quality and increase operational costs.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Characterization of immunological responses in patients with liver cancer to predict immunotherapy efficacy and immune-related adverse events

Summary of PhD Program:

Liver cancer, a devastating and incurable cancer has poor patient outcomes largely due to late-stage diagnosis, limited treatment options, and lack of biomarkers for early detection and monitoring of disease progression and treatment response. Immunotherapies, such as checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), that enhance an effective immune response have demonstrated robust anti-tumour efficacy in a subset of patients. However, the efficacy of such therapy varies, and, in some cases, may trigger a wide range of life-threatening immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Up to 40% patients receiving ICI therapies develop serious irAEs, which require cessation of therapy and immunosuppression that can compromise cancer treatment.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Unintended consequences of Offshore Wind farms: a socio-economic impact evaluation on wellbeing and community dynamics

Summary of PhD Program:

Offshore wind farms represent a crucial component of the transition towards clean energy. However, their establishment may lead to unintended consequences that impact well-being and community dynamics, directly and indirectly. For instance, the construction and operation of offshore wind farms can have temporary and long-term impacts on local communities. Noise, dust, and increased traffic during construction can lead to disruptions and reduced quality of life for residents. On the other hand, the long-term presence of wind farms can also alter the cultural and social fabric of coastal communities, generating negative impacts in term of well-being and community cohesion. Coastal communities often have strong cultural ties to the sea and the land. The introduction of offshore wind farms can disrupt this cultural identity, as the landscape changes and traditional activities are affected.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in The Economic Impact of Offshore Wind Farm Development on Energy Pricing and Market Dynamics in the UK

Summary of PhD Program:

This research will primarily focus on quantitative analysis to comprehensively examine the economic dynamics of offshore wind energy. Specifically, it aims to explore how innovations in one renewable energy technology (such as offshore wind) influence the adoption and performance of other technologies like solar and tidal energy. This approach will enable us to map the renewable energy market by analysing how producers strategically set prices depending on the technologies they use and the extent to which these technologies overlap or complement each other. Furthermore, we will investigate how investments in offshore wind infrastructure may create positive or negative externalities for other renewable sectors and how these spillovers shape overall investment strategies, risk assessments, and capital flows across the broader energy market.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Parametrising wakes for oceanographic models

Summary of PhD Program:

This PhD scholarship is offered by the EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Loughborough and Sheffield. The project is sponsored by industry partner, the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (CEFAS). The successful applicant will undertake six-month of training with the rest of the CDT cohort at the University of Hull before continuing their PhD research at Loughborough University. The project is part of a Research Cluster focussing on Predicting Offshore Wind wake interactions for Energy and the enviRonment (POWER). The offshore wind sector is rapidly expanding to meet net-zero energy demands. Individual turbines and farms are getting larger and further from shore, with individual turbines spanning 240 m in diameter and farms reaching 600 km2. Forced by spatial constraints, but enabled by floating technology, farms are now developing in deeper waters, occupying increasingly vast areas.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Low maintenance reliable main bearings for large wind turbines

Summary of PhD Program:

This PhD scholarship is offered by the EPSRC CDT in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Loughborough and Sheffield. The project is sponsored by industry partner, the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult. The successful applicant will undertake six-month of training with the rest of the CDT cohort at the University of Hull before continuing their PhD research at the University of Sheffield. Almost all the bearings in wind turbine transmissions are rolling element type (1). That includes slow and high-speed shafts, gearbox, blade pitch bearings, and the main bearing that supports the rotor. Wind loading is highly variable and so bearings can operate at changeable speed, high and very variable loading (2). This is a bad place for bearings and there are lots of wear and fatigue failures – design life is 20 years but bearings rarely last that long (3). As machines have got larger, this state has worsened.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Left in the wake: assessing the impact of sediment mobility in the wake of offshore wind infrastructure

Summary of PhD Program:

This PhD scholarship is offered by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Offshore Wind Energy Sustainability and Resilience; a partnership between the Universities of Durham, Hull, Loughborough and Sheffield. The project is sponsored by industry partner, The Turbidites Research Group (TRG). The successful applicant will undertake six-months of training with the rest of the CDT cohort at the University of Hull before continuing their PhD research at Loughborough University. Offshore wind is a core component of global solutions to net-zero. However, a prerequisite is that offshore wind is sustainable and developed in an environmentally friendly manner. A key challenge within offshore wind is the development of new fixed bottom offshore windfarms, globally, and the decommissioning and repowering of extant wind farms close to end of life, in particular in the southern North Sea. Both these scenarios entail installation of much larger infrastructure, at greater extents, in more morphodynamically active areas than have currently been constructed.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bilateral wind flow interactions with floating offshore wind turbines

Summary of PhD Program:

This research project proposal specifically targets floating offshore wind energy, which is a developing market. As such, there are challenges and hurdles to overcome and uncertainties to deal with before widespread commercialisation and technological diffusion is realised. Conversely, this means there are plenty of opportunities for researchers and innovators to positively impact the growth trajectory of floating offshore wind. Unlike fixed-bottom turbines, floating wind turbines are free to move along all 6 degrees of freedom (x, y, z translations, and roll, pitch, yaw rotations). This freedom of movement adds uncertainty when describing and modelling interactions between wind flows and turbines.

The project is part of a Research Cluster focussing on Reliability and Health Monitoring. The successful applicant will undertake six-month of training with the rest of the CDT cohort at the University of Hull before continuing their PhD research at Hull. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) e.g., drones are increasingly used for equipment anomaly and fault detection. When the drones are employed to take images, the quality of the images can be affected by several factors. For instance, images can be blurred due to the relative motion between the blades and the camera mounted on the drones. Noise can be introduced to the images due to the harsh operating conditions of drones.

With 90% of the world’s power being generated by heat engines that operate at <40% efficiency resulting in roughly 15 terawatts of energy being lost as heat, the potential for TE generators in sustainable waste–heat–recovery systems is huge.

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Investigating the Neurocognitive Mechanisms Underlying the Benefits of Classroom Exercise Breaks in School-Age Children

Summary of PhD Program:

The present proposal aims to address the urgency of undercovering the underlying mechanisms by which CEB might improve cognitive performance in school-age children by using an interdisciplinary approach. The novelty of using a portable neuroimaging device (i.e., fNIRS) can be a significant advantage as it can be used in school settings compared to other traditional methods, often requiring lab visits (EEG/fMRI). Given this, we aim to advance the field by revealing underlying mechanisms of the ultimate benefit of CEB for children’s executive function.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in A Game-based Approach to Democratic Discourse in Digital Media

Summary of PhD Program:

The project aims to investigate citizens’ experiences of political and democratic expression as enacted in digital platforms through gameful interventions. Managing the impact of digital spaces on democracy presents an increasingly substantial challenge. The integration of digital platforms into the political landscape is fundamentally reshaping the ways in which young creatives such as artists and content creators communicate, express themselves, engage in political discourse, access information, and participate in democratic processes (e.g. Rasmussen et al., 2016). While these platforms can foster democratic values by providing spaces for dialogue and civic engagement, they also pose substantial risks that can undermine democratic integrity (e.g. Sundberg, 2019).

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Predicting cognitive performance in ADHD with advanced deep learning and network analysis in functional neuroimaging (Deakin led)

Summary of PhD Program:

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and or impulsivity. The diagnosis is based on subjective report, and as yet there are no objective biomarkers used clinically. In addition to the core symptoms, individuals with ADHD often present with a profile of cognitive deficits, that has been argued to results from lapse of attention. Being able to identify the brain networks and neural signature of an attentional lapse, will not only further our understanding of the neurobiology, but could also be used to monitor and predict cognitive performance, offering potential target for intervention.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Resource allocation in federated learning by jointly considering communication, computation, and data heterogeneity

Summary of PhD Program:

Edge intelligence (EI) has been recognised as a key technology for next-generation wireless networks such as 6G. Driven by the recent success of mobile edge computing, EI pushes computation-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) tasks from the centralised cloud to distributed base stations at the wireless network edge to efficiently utilise the massive data generated by numerous edge devices. However, the large volume of data at edge devices must be properly processed (potentially jointly processed with sensed data from other sensors such as camera and Lidar) via AI algorithms in a swift manner, in order to support applications with ultralow-latency sensing, communication, computation, and control requirements.
