1. Fully Funded PhD Position in immunophysiology

Summary of PhD Program:

The lining of the uterus (the endometrium) has completely unique properties as it heals quickly during each menstrual cycle without scarring. During the fertile period of a woman’s life, this scarless healing in the uterus occurs more than 400 times, but the involved mechanisms that control it are still not known. During this process, immune cells constitute up to 70% of all cells in the endometrium, but their contributing role to endometrial turnover is largely unknown. Based on our previous discoveries where we found that both neutrophils and macrophages, the body’s most common immune cells, are important for healing damaged tissue, we now want to investigate what they do in the uterine lining, with a special focus on different subpopulations of the innate immune system.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in DNS of Electrochemical Bubbles – Bubble Detachment in Micro-Structured Electrodes

Summary of PhD Program:

In the transition to a green economy, hydrogen is called to play a central role to decarbonize hard-to-abate sectors. To this aim, water electrolysis is the key technology enabling the conversion of (green) electricity into hydrogen. However, this pivotal process still suffers from low efficiencies due to the sub-optimal bubble release from the electrodes, which block the reaction sites. Our long term vision is to design advanced electrode geometries that optimize bubble release. In this project we want to develop new numerical techniques to simulate bubble detachment from gas-evolving electrodes in order to advance our understanding of how fluid mechanics, mass, heat and charge transfer impact the overall process performance.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in AEM Water Electrolysis

Summary of PhD Program:

This vacancy will focus on Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysis (AEM WE). While AEM WE is less mature than other electrolysis technologies, it potentially combines the advantages of earth-abundant electrode materials (due to working at alkaline environment) and allowing to dynamically operate (due to the low crossover in the dense membrane). However, more understanding is needed for its stability and energy efficiency. In this project, we will focus on enhancing the contact between the electrode materials and anion exchange membrane, to minimize energy losses and create a robust reaction environment.

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.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Multiphysics data-driven validation framework for component qualification in fusion

Summary of PhD Program:

In a nuclear fusion reactor Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) are subjected to extreme environmental conditions which induce complex loads. To build confidence in the integrity of PFCs and consequently a robust operation of a reactor, we must test individual components under the complex multi-physics loads representative of the operating conditions. It is expensive, time consuming and difficult to physically test the components under the extreme environmental conditions, making it desirable to enable the use of virtual tests, e.g. engineering simulations, to qualify these components.

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.

Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Diagenesis takes place over geological timescales and the rocks formed are used in industrial applications that range from cement and tile production to cladding and dimension stone.
