PhD Studentship: Microfabricated Surfaces for Enhanced Electro-mechanical Mucoadhesion
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
The small intestine is a highly vascularized organ ideal for sustained drug delivery and physiological sensing. However, its inner surface presents formidable challenges: a continuous mucus layer (turnover ~24–48 h), constant peristaltic shear, fluctuating fluid volumes and diges…
PhD Studentship: Microneedles for Enteric Neuroendocrine Monitoring
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
The gastrointestinal tract can impact mood and cognition. Gut derived serotonin activates vagal pathways to the brain, affecting mood and cognition and chronic gut inflammation and dysbiosis often coincide with a higher likelihood of neuropsychiatric symptoms. Besides their impli…
PhD Studentship: Polymeric Microsystems for Targeted Oral Drug Delivery
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Oral targeted drug delivery in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract is highly sought for treating localized conditions like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Traditional approaches rely on passive enteric coatings that dissolve at specific pH ranges, but these lack precision and contr…
PhD Studentship: Microfabricated Iontronic Sensors for the Diagnosis of Gastrointestinal Motility Disorders
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Gastrointestinal (GI) motility disorders such as IBS and postoperative ileus affect millions worldwide yet lack high-resolution diagnostics. Current tests are either indirect or use rigid manometry catheters that cannot measure the entire GI tract. Ingestible capsules offer a min…
PhD Studentship: Functional and Low Carbon Materials for Climate-Resilient Infrastructure
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
The construction industry accounts for 8–10% of global anthropogenic CO₂ emissions and faces significant challenges in achieving NetZero targets by 2050. This PhD project offers an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of next-generation construction materials tha…
PhD Studentship: Theory on the quantum behaviour of molecules in plasmonic nanocavities
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
When light illuminates nano-sized metallic structures, the free electrons in the metal collectively oscillate, creating `plasmons'. By specifically designing the geometry and arrangement of the nano-metallic structures, one can direct and concentrate light at small enough volumes…
PhD Studentship: Quantum entanglement of molecules in plasmonic nanocavities
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
When light illuminates nano-sized metallic structures, the free electrons in the metal collectively oscillate, creating `plasmons'. By specifically designing the geometry and arrangement of the nano-metallic structures, one can direct and concentrate light at small enough volumes…
PhD Studentship: 3D Printable THz Waveguides for On-chip Applications
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Driven by our data hungry society, chip-to-chip and device-to-device data bit rates will need to reach terabits per second in a not distant future. Such data rate will only be met if there is a shift from microwaves to mm-waves (ca. 30 – 300 GHz) or even Terahertz frequencies (ca…
PhD Studentship: Physics-Informed Machine Learning for Corrosion Prediction
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
The global infrastructure landscape is dominated by ageing assets, many of which were not designed with today’s loading and environmental challenges in mind. Extending the service life of existing structures has become a vital strategy for minimising the environmental and economi…
PhD Studentship: Gravitational Wave Source Modelling From LIGO to LISA
University of Birmingham·Birmingham
Theoretical models for gravitational wave signals emitted by coalescing compact binaries are the cornerstone of modern gravitational wave astrophysics. Among the most pressing challenges for the next generation of models is the detailed treatment of spin precession and orbital ec…
