Nano-assemblies of cyclodextrin complexes at oil-water interfaces as sustainable alternatives to surfactants

This PhD research project aims to investigate the formation and structural characteristics of interfacial films created by cyclodextrin-oil complexes and to correlate these properties with the stability of emulsions. The central hypothesis is that cyclodextrins (CDs) can form robust, structured interfacial films via host-guest interactions with targeted hydrophobic molecules in the oil phase, which can provide a versatile method to build strong interfacial films for a very broad range of oil mixtures. The research will employ advanced experimental techniques including interfacial rheology, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), cryogenic electron microscopy, and small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) to characterize the interfacial films. Emulsion stability will be assessed under varying conditions of pH, ionic strength, and temperature to simulate real-world applications. This research will contribute to the fundamental understanding of cyclodextrin-mediated interfacial phenomena and offer insights into designing novel, biocompatible emulsifiers for applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.

Digital twining of energy hubs to accelerate transport and power grid decarbonization

This PhD research opportunity focuses on developing digital twin technology for energy hubs that interface with both transport networks and power grids to support decarbonization.

EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award 2026/27: Electronic & Electrical Engineering - Carrier transport modelling in group-IV SiGeSn quantum well semiconductor lasers

This PhD research opportunity focuses on carrier transport modelling in multiple quantum well (MQW) laser structures using group-IV SiGeSn semiconductors. The project aims to advance the development of electrically pumped lasers operating at room temperature, which would enable monolithic integration of group-IV based photonics and CMOS technology. The research will model carrier trapping and transport in quantum wells to achieve homogeneous distribution of electrons and holes across MQW structures, using methodologies adapted from III-V semiconductor lasers. The work involves calculating electronic structures of SiGeSn-based MQWs and designing optimal well and barrier configurations within practical material composition constraints. This represents a pathway toward overcoming the indirect bandgap limitation of conventional silicon and germanium semiconductors for large-scale optoelectronics integration.

Digital Twins for Liver Cancer Using Medically Informed Machine Learning

This PhD research project develops digital twin models for the human liver for use in liver cancer treatment planning and optimisation. The project creates an image-based computational model of the liver with realistic anatomical variability, structure, and aspects of functionality. Digital twins have many use cases including training clinicians, testing computational algorithms, planning patient-specific treatments, and enabling virtual in-silico trials for evaluating novel treatments. The project focuses on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of primary liver cancer in adults and currently the most common cause of death in people with cirrhosis. The research will develop a liver function map as part of a digital twin model using biomarkers from pre-operative MRI to estimate tissue-level inflammation, fibrosis, fat content, cirrhosis, and hepatocyte uptake extraction rate. This combines magnetic resonance imaging with medically informed machine learning (MIML) techniques. The project seeks to exploit multi-modal imaging (CT, MRI) and novel data-driven machine learning methods to develop and validate the digital twin model. The liver function maps will be paired with anatomical shape models of the liver and computational algorithms for generating the vasculature of the liver and the tumour, creating the first ever digital twin model of the human liver. MIML techniques will be used to reduce model overfitting and ensure consistency with existing medical knowledge about tumour pathophysiology, vascular function, and tissue response to radiotherapy.

Simulation of Black Holes: Quantum Information, Scrambling, and Evaporation

This PhD project explores how table-top quantum simulators—such as spin chains, optical lattices, or superconducting qubit arrays—can reproduce key features of black holes, including Hawking radiation, information scrambling, and quantum information recovery during black hole evaporation. The goal is to develop and study effective condensed-matter models that mimic the spacetime geometry and chaotic dynamics of black holes under controlled laboratory conditions. By combining analytical and numerical methods, the project will investigate how quantum correlations evolve across an emergent event horizon and how information can be lost, scrambled, or recovered in such systems. The student will join an active research group working at the interface of quantum information, many-body physics, and quantum gravity analogues, and will have the opportunity to collaborate with both theoretical and experimental teams exploring quantum simulation platforms. This PhD offers a unique opportunity to contribute to one of the most ambitious questions in modern physics—understanding how quantum information behaves in the presence of gravity—through models that can be realised and tested in the laboratory.

Tailoring Novel Behaviours in Liquid Crystal Elastomers Through Design

This PhD project explores designing and engineering novel behaviours and responses into liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs), from understanding their fundamental molecular organisation to creating functional materials with applications towards advanced technologies. Liquid crystal elastomers are an exciting class of soft materials that combine the orientational order of liquid crystals with the elasticity of polymers, giving rise to remarkable properties such as mechanical anisotropy, programmable shape change, auxeticity, and stimuli-responsive behaviour. There will be a particular focus on patterning of the liquid crystal elastomer surface or bulk to elicit a desired response relevant to an application. Potential applications include next-generation metamaterials, optical devices, and energy solutions. Using a combination of experimental approaches, including optical microscopy, profilometry, X-ray scattering, mechanical testing and spectroscopy, students will investigate how molecular structure and processing routes control material parameters. The project provides training relevant for a career in soft matter physics and materials science with opportunities to collaborate across disciplines. This is an excellent opportunity for a motivated student with a background in physics, engineering, materials science, or a related discipline, who is keen to develop experimental skills while contributing to cutting-edge research in soft advanced materials.

Quantum Simulation of Out-of-Equilibrium Dynamics of Gauge Theories

This PhD project focuses on harnessing quantum simulators to explore lattice gauge theories, which are discrete counterparts of the gauge field theories underpinning the Standard Model. The research will design and analyse protocols that realise these models on Rydberg arrays or trapped-ion chains, and develop advanced numerical tools including tensor networks and exact diagonalisation to predict their real-time behaviour. Building on previous work on false-vacuum decay, the project will investigate metastability and bubble nucleation dynamics, examining how Gauss-law constraints and confining strings reshape the decay of false vacua. The research will also search for new forms of ergodicity breaking, extending the concept of quantum scars to settings with local gauge symmetries and exploring their impact on vacuum decay. Key questions include whether gauge constraints can stabilise scarred subspaces or fragment the Hilbert space in higher dimensions, and how scar-induced revivals interact with bubble formation and string breaking. By combining analytics, state-of-the-art simulations, and close interaction with experimental groups, this project will chart new territory where confinement, metastability and non-thermal dynamics meet.

Functional data analysis with informative missingness (UK Only)

This PhD research project focuses on developing functional principal component analysis (FPCA) and multivariate FPCA (MFPCA) frameworks for functional data with informative missingness. The increasing availability of extensive datasets with variables measured over a continuum has opened new frontiers in research across disciplines. These datasets, known as functional data, are prevalent in fields ranging from environmental monitoring and education to biomedical sciences and engineering. However, analysing such data remains challenging due to their high dimensionality, multivariate structure, and critically, the presence of missingness that is not completely at random. This project aims to fill the gap by developing advanced statistical methods to handle informative missingness in functional data analysis. Real-world datasets often suffer from different types of informative missingness, and applying FPCA or MFPCA without accounting for these issues can lead to biased results, misrepresenting relationships among variables and undermining downstream analyses such as prediction, classification, and decision-making. The application will be within biomedical studies, such as Alzheimer's disease and scleroderma. The position offers a highly competitive EPSRC Doctoral Landscape Award providing full academic fees, together with a tax-free maintenance grant at the standard UKRI rate (£20,780 in academic session 2025/26) for 3.5 years. Training and support will also be provided, and candidates will be automatically considered for a School of Mathematics Scholarship.

Stipend for Children without Glasses

The Stipend for Children without Glasses (SCWG) is a charitable foundation established in 2012 dedicated to supporting youth who have maintained natural visual acuity throughout their developmental years. Founded by optometrist Dr. Helena Brightwell, the organization awards annual grants of $500–$2,000 to children ages 8–17 who demonstrate both exceptional uncorrected vision and academic achievement. The foundation's somewhat tongue-in-cheek mission arose from Dr. Brightwell's observation that while numerous programs exist to provide corrective eyewear to those in need, no recognition existed for children whose genetic fortune and eye-care habits preserved their natural sight. Recipients must submit proof of 20/20 vision or better from a licensed eye care professional, along with a short essay on eye health awareness. The SCWG distributes approximately $150,000 annually across 200 grants and has funded vision health education programs in over 40 schools nationwide.
