5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of novel pathways to convert CO2 into C2+ fuels and chemicals towards net zero
Summary of PhD Program:
Achieving carbon neutrality targets by 2050 is widely recognized as the global most important and challenging mission. The pathways to achieve zero emissions are complex, within which, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is playing a critical role. CCUS tackles CO2 emissions from existing energy assets or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and further convert it into another chemical form. For CO2 conversion, C1 based renewable fuels and chemicals (CO, methane, and methanol) are being generated through hydrogenation adopting photo-catalysis, electrochemistry, or thermo-catalysis.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Dynamic digital scheduling for optimal outfitting of naval ships
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of the PhD will be to develop a tool and techniques to improve the effective and efficient paralleling of outfitting tasks, overlapping in the physical space, whilst maintaining a safe working environment. The result will be a time and safety-optimised sequence of outfitting tasks that considers the constraints of the compartmentation of the vessel, the availability of skilled resources, the delivery of equipment from the supply chain, and the prioritisation of rework activities. The outcome will be to safely deliver naval ships into service faster than using existing outfitting management techniques.
Application Deadline: 31 August 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanochemical separation of hydrogen isotopes
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will build on pilot experiments conducted at Strathclyde to develop a new technology that uses mechanochemical reactions to separate hydrogen isotopes. The project builds on research published in Stillings, Shipton and Lunn, Nature Sustainability, 2023[1] that uses mechanochemical reactions to trap CO2. In mechanochemistry, fracturing of the chemical bonds by a mechanical stimulus, releases charged particles and photons, and produces an instantaneous localized temperature increase of >600°C that can be used to drive a reaction such as the production of H2 gas and H+ ions in water [Stillings et al 2021].
Application Deadline: 26 June 2024
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Combining asbestos treatment with carbon capture using mechanochemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD is funded by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and will provide the basis for a low-carbon decommissioning strategy for the safe recycling of asbestos-containing materials in legacy nuclear plants. Asbestos-containing materials are present in many legacy nuclear structures and pose physical and radiological health hazards during decommissioning. Using mechanochemistry, the researcher will explore asbestos-neutralization treatments using a range of greenhouse gases with the aim of not only treating the asbestos but also providing a new carbon capture technology.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Clean energy
Summary of PhD Program:
Nuclear energy is a zero emission clean energy source with one of the smallest carbon footprints which produces more electricity on less land than any other clean energy source, such as windfarms. It is essential to our response to climate change and greenhouse gas emissions and meeting the energy gap. It currently provides almost a fifth of the UK’s electricity, generating waste that needs to be managed for safe, long term storage. While most radioactive waste comes from the generation of electricity, it is also a by-product of many medical and industrial activities that make use of radioactive materials.
Application Deadline: 24 June 2024
12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Novel approaches for cleaning up radionuclide nanoparticle pollutants in the environment
Summary of PhD Program:
Radionuclides can occur in the form of tiny particles called nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have unique properties which can mean they need specialist approaches to help stop their movement through the environment. From our work so far, we know that nanoparticles can become trapped inside growing minerals by a process known as occlusion, which occurs when the growing mineral surface engulfs the nanoparticle. Excitingly, if we could use this approach to trap radionuclide nanoparticles, this could reduce their transport in the environment.
Application Deadline: 8 July 2024
13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Remote, range-resolved ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy for safety in hydrogen fuel and nuclear industries
Summary of PhD Program:
We will develop a molecular LIDAR system that projects a pulse of excitation light into the field of view and then collects the few back-scattered Raman photons. The photon time-of-flight tells us the position of the cloud; the ‘colour’ of the Rama photon tells us the composition of the cloud; and the number of Raman photons tells us the concentration. This technique requires careful timing of the outgoing pulse and detecting the returning photons.
Application Deadline: 30 June 2024
14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Neuromorphic photonic-electronic integrated circuits for fast and efficient SPIKE-based information PROcessing
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project will investigate neuromorphic (brain-like) photonic-electronic systems for new high-speed and efficient neuromorphic computing and AI technologies. The programme will investigate artificial photonic and electronic spiking neurons, their connectivity into compact chip-scale spiking neural networks. These will be used in spike-based photonic-electronic processing functionalities in real-world applications (e.g. high-speed radar signal processing, high-speed data classification).
