PhD position summary/title: Understanding and mitigating impacts of recreational disturbance on birds – PhD in Human Geography Ref: 5061
Popular recreational activities such as walking (especially with dogs), running, and cycling might all disturb songbirds, which could affect their behaviour, breeding and, ultimately, their populations. Since the pandemic there has been both an increase in outdoor recreation and a rise in dog ownership. Previous ecological studies of recreational disturbance have focused on waders and seabirds in open and coastal landscapes. However, the impacts of recreational activities are also likely to occur in a broader range of habitats, including woodland, shrubland and heath.
The student will have the opportunity to develop a distinctive and impactful conservation project that will investigate the effects of disturbance on wildlife while also considering the spatial patterns of recreational activities, particularly dog walking. The research will require an interdisciplinary approach, including social research to understand the practices and perspectives of site users. The methodology will include a comprehensive review of current evidence and gaps; impact evaluation through population surveys and monitoring of breeding success; and analysis of the factors affecting variation in the scale and form of disturbances. These might include habitat, site topography and access, or user behaviour and characteristics. Ecological studies will be complemented by practice-oriented social research, including an intervention study to evaluate the effectiveness of management approaches. This is expected to involve working with site managers to experiment with evidence-based measures aiming to minimise disturbance through site design, access and/or user engagement.

PhD position summary/title: The role of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) in the regulation of skeletal muscle mass and metabolic health, Department of Public Health and Sports Sciences Ref: 5045
Skeletal muscle tissue is of great importance for functional capacity and metabolic health, and maintaining muscle mass and metabolic health is crucial for healthy ageing in absence of metabolic disease. Key regulatory factors for muscle mass maintenance and metabolic health are the increase in muscle protein synthesis (MPS) and muscle glucose uptake in response to food ingestion. The postprandial increase in plasma amino acid concentrations, and specifically the BCAAs, is thought to be the key nutritional signal for modulating rates of MPS (Koopman 2009 Am J Clin Nutr), yet its reported effects on MPS are equivocal (Wolfe 2017 JISSN). Moreover, a growing body of evidence links BCAAs to skeletal muscle insulin resistance. The current lack of mechanistic insight in skeletal muscle BCAA metabolism hinders the development of effective interventional strategies to maintain muscle mass and health across the lifespan.
The focus of this PhD studentship will be to investigate the role of BCAAs in the regulation of muscle mass and metabolic health, using detailed in vivo physiological techniques involving stable isotope tracers and arteriovenous forearm balance. Emphasis will be placed on the mechanistic regulation of muscle amino acid and glucose metabolism in healthy volunteers, as well as translational aspects relevant to conditions in which muscle BCAA metabolism is perturbed (e.g. (metabolic) disease, physical inactivity, ageing).

PhD position summary/title: Neurodevelopmental functions of the histone lysine demethylase KDM5B, Neuroscience, Epigenetics Ref: 5027
Variants in genes encoding chromatin modifying and interacting proteins are frequent causes of neurodevelopmental disorders. This PhD project will focus on KDM5B, which encodes a histone lysine demethylase. KDM5B loss of function variants are associated with intellectual disability, autism spectrum disorders and cognitive ability in the general population. Using a combination of gene targeting and acute knock-down approaches, we have defined autism-like and learning and memory phenotypes in KDM5B-deficient mouse models.
The over-all aim of this project is to perform an in-depth analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms affected by KDM5B deficiency in the context of these behavioural phenotypes and to test whether targeting these mechanisms can restore normal function.

PhD position summary/title: Time Varying Metasurfaces: using rapidly varying components for arbitrary wave transformations (enhanced stipend) Ref: 5054
Metamaterials and metasurfaces are specially structured matter, structured on a small enough scale to change its macroscopic properties. Periodically patterning a surface, for instance with metal and dielectric yields a ‘metasurface’ that can behave as neither of its constituents: e.g. as an effective “artificial” magnetic conductor [1]. As is now well established, slowly grading this structuring can then give additional functionality, the material acting as e.g. a flat lens [2], or a component of an optical computer [3]. Grading a metamaterial in all three dimensions then allows almost arbitrary transformations of the electromagnetic field; from invisibility [3] to super-scattering [4].
Although there is a large space of possible metamaterial devices to explore, there remain immovable constraints that apply to all of them. For example, no metasurface as described above can change the frequency of an incident wave. Furthermore the maximum bandwidth of any passive absorber is fixed by its thickness and static permeability [5]. It would be a significant advance if we could avoid these constraints.

PhD position summary/title: Reconfigurable tensorial impedance surfaces for modulating RF scattering and antenna function (enhanced stipend) Ref: 5053
It is the focus of this project to design, model, fabricate and characterise active 2D metasurfaces that demonstrate a reconfigurable tensorial surface impedance [1-3] to enable temporal modulation of the amplitude, frequency, phase, directionality, or polarisation state of RF/mm-wave radiation. The findings will support future civil applications such as the internet of things, high frequency imaging systems for screening, scanners and tomography systems for medical diagnostics, and next-generation communication systems.
Reconfigurable metasurfaces [4] have garnered significant interest in the last 5 years as they promise a route to multifunctionality. However, developing reconfigurable tensorial impedance metasurfaces will enable an added degree of control over the scattering of radiation, or in the emission from an antenna adjacent to the surface. For example, one could design a curved surface that scatters radiation as if it were flat (or vice versa) and switch this behaviour off or on – this is something that a scalar impedance metasurface could never do. The extent to which the tensorial impedance of a surface can be actively reconfigured, and the extent to which this can alter the scattering of radiation from such a surface, or of the radiation emitted from an antenna adjacent to such a surface, will form the basis of this project.

PhD position summary/title: Magnetoelectric material based miniaturized and multifunctional antennas (enhanced stipend) Ref: 5052
The main hurdle in advancing antenna technology is the issue of miniaturization. Traditional antenna’s function based on electromagnetic (EM) wave resonance and their size is typically larger than one tenth of the EM wavelength, λo. This restricts the potential for antenna size reduction, complicating the achievement of compact antennas and antenna arrays. This issue is especially prominent at very-high frequency (VHF, 30–300 MHz) and ultra-high frequency (UHF, 0.3–3 GHz) ranges with larger λo, severely limiting the possibilities for wireless communication systems.
In contrast, recent advancements have shown that a strong strain-mediated magnetoelectric (ME) coupling in magnetic/piezoelectric heterostructures can effectively enable energy transfer between magnetic and electric fields [Lage, E. et al. Exchange biasing of magnetoelectric composites. Nat. Mater. 11, 523–529 (2012); Bibes, M. Towards a magnetoelectric memory. Nature 7, 425–426 (2008)]. If this strong ME coupling can be dynamically achieved at radio frequencies (RF) within ME heterostructures, it may enable voltage-induced RF magnetic currents capable of radiating EM waves. Additionally, it could potentially lead to the creation of acoustically actuated ME antennas with a novel mechanism for transmitting and receiving EM waves. This concept has been recently proposed in theory [Domann, J. P. & Carman, G. P. Strain powered antennas. J. Appl. Phys. 121, 044905 (2017)].

PhD position summary/title: THz and mm-wave detection through silicon luminescence Ref: 4782
Unlike X-rays, radiation in the mm-wave THz bands is intrinsically safe, non-ionising and non-destructive. These frequencies also correspond to a “sweet spot” in the electromagnetic spectrum, where radiation can pass unimpeded through typical clothing materials, making them ideally suited for security imaging applications. However, THz and mm-wave radiation has also proven difficult to detect using standard approaches,, and this part of the electromagnetic spectrum is often referred to as the “terahertz gap”, where it is currently difficult to develop applications due to a lack of detector technology.
In this project we will develop a new technology for detecting THz and mm-waves, exploiting a very recent discovery by the Exeter THz group: by measuring heating induced changes to luminescence, one can make a very sensitive detector for these frequencies. This discovery, once fully developed, could have wide ranging applications, effectively turning any silicon based camera, such as a modern smartphone, into a sensitive THz detector.

PhD position summary/title: NERC RED ALERT CDT studentship for 2024 Entry – Development of automated, inline sensors for real-time monitoring of metal pollutants in freshwater environments. Ref: 5058
Currently, quantification of dissolved metal pollutants in watercourses is hugely variable in convenience, speed and data quality. For many metals, accurate results are only achieved by slow and labour-intensive sampling and lab-based analysis. To address this unmet need, this project will develop colourimetric sensing devices that can remain submerged in water and provide frequent, automated measurements of specific metal cation concentrations. Sensors will be based upon lab-synthesised organic molecules that undergo colour change upon exposure to a specific metal, immobilised on a transparent surface to prevent them being washed away, whilst enabling optical measurement to take place to quantify metal concentrations.
This is a multidisciplinary project that will apply synthetic organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, metal coordination chemistry and miniaturised device engineering to construct a sensor device employing spectroscopic analysis. Collaboration and interaction with aquatic ecophysiologists and ecotoxicologists, as well as biosensor researchers and environmental/water organisations and the new Centre for Resilience in Environment, Water and Waste (CREWW; https://www.exeter.ac.uk/research/creww/) will facilitate application of this technology in environmental monitoring of metal pollution in freshwater environments. However, the foundation of this project is the design, synthesis and evaluation of novel sensor molecules, hence the successful applicant will require expertise in, and enthusiasm for, synthetic organic chemistry.

PhD position summary/title: NERC RED ALERT CDT studentship for 2024 Entry – Novel methodologies to assess the environmental health of freshwater systems. PhD in Biological Sciences. Ref: 5057
Freshwater ecosystems are some of the most threatened on earth, receiving a complex cocktail of natural and man-made chemicals as a result of human activity. These, together with alterations in abiotic parameters (such as temperature, pH and oxygen levels) result in complex exposure scenarios. The complexity of these scenarios poses a major challenge when assessing exposure impacts, and determining safe environmental levels, of novel and existing chemical threats, in the context of individual organisms or ecosystem health. Overcoming this challenge requires the development of highly advanced, innovative, high-throughput approaches for rapid and detailed assessment of chemical exposures. Whilst such advances have been made for many vertebrate models, because of the perception these groups are more important, analogous approaches are currently lacking for many invertebrate groups and for freshwater systems. This creates a significant knowledge gap, which represents a major barrier to the assessment of the health of aquatic organisms and ecosystems.
This project directly addresses this issue, developing and applying highly novel high-throughput methodologies that enable the comprehensive assessment of environmental pollutant impacts on invertebrate systems, with a level of complexity prohibited by existing approaches. As a result, this project will ultimately facilitate the reduction of anthropogenic impacts and the better protection of biodiversity in freshwater environments.

The global fashion and textiles industry is a major source of water pollution; one fifth of the world’s industrial water pollution emanates from textile processing whilst microfibres (synthetic polymers, processed cellulosics and natural fibres) have been identified as emerging pollutants across all aquatic ecosystems, with concerns they may be potentially more damaging to biogeochemical processes, species and human health than other types of plastic waste. Microfibres are abundant in urban air and wastewater systems, restricting the return of sludge to land due to concern over impacts on human health and soils. Despite this, microfibres are largely absent from holistic, One Health frameworks for evaluating the health and environmental effects of water pollution and significant challenges surround their incorporation into digital, real-time monitoring and water fingerprinting technologies.

PhD position summary/title: NERC RED ALERT CDT studentship for 2024 Entry – Assessing Impacts of Combined Sewage Overflows and Surface Water Outfalls on Invertebrate Populations in River Catchments in Southwest England -PhD in Biological Sciences. Ref: 5055
Freshwater systems are considered to be the most threatened globally and chemical pollution has contributed significantly to freshwater wildlife population declines. It is important to understand the different pollution sources and their impact on freshwater biodiversity so that mitigation strategies can be prioritised for the best wildlife protection. Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) have hit the media headlines in recent years and there is widespread concern about their environmental impacts on freshwater biota however these concerns are largely unquantified. We recently secured a major grant to better understand the impacts of Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) and Surface Water Outfalls (SWO) on riverine biota across catchments in southwest England (rivers Exe, Tamar and Dart) that will support this PhD research project. The PhD will therefore be part of an exciting large multidisciplinary research project with diverse supporting expertise and industry engagement for enabling real world impact. The PhD will involve a combination of in-field sampling, invertebrate monitoring using both traditional and eDNA methods, chemical bioavailability assessments (for selected chemicals identified in the CSO and SWO discharges through the wider research programme), and risk analyses/modelling using these data together with wider invertebrate/chemical monitoring and ecotox database information. Importantly, the project has great flexibility and the student will get every opportunity to help shape the PhD project to suit their main interests and training preferences.
