PhD position summary/title: Generation after next fibre lasers for defence and security applications
This project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security.
Fibre lasers have become the laser technology of choice for applications requiring high power, good beam quality and high efficiency. This has revolutionised industrial processing of materials and is one of the enabling technologies in emerging applications in defence and security. To date, much of the effort has focussed on ytterbium doped fibre lasers, but this technology is now approaching the fundamental limits.
Thulium (Tm) doped fibre lasers operate in the two-micron band and have numerous potential advantages from an applications perspective and for operation at high power levels. Thus, the goal of this project is to explore the power scaling limits of Tm-doped fibre laser and amplifiers.

PhD position summary/title: In-situ management of nuclear site contaminants: harnessing electrokinetic approaches
Working with the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL), this project will develop new in-situ systems for contaminant and risk management at nuclear (and other) sites, based on novel electrokinetic approaches developed at the University of Southampton.
Electrokinetic remediation or risk management, involving the application of an electric current to remobilise, force migrate or contain soil or groundwater contaminants, has been successfully demonstrated in a number of field environments.
Its strengths are its low-intrusive nature, its ability to influence contaminants at depth and over distance, and its ability to exert a range of chemical conditions (pH, Eh) in the subsurface conducive to either contaminant immobilisation or migration.

PhD position summary/title: Next generation high power fibre lasers in the visible and ultraviolet wavelength bands
Scaling laser power in the visible and ultraviolet bands remains as one of the most significant challenges facing laser scientists, motivated by the needs of a growing number of applications in areas such laser processing of materials, medicine, sensing, defence and quantum technology.
Traditional methods for accessing this wavelength regime are not compatible with operation at high power levels and so a different approach is needed. Our approach offers the prospect of unprecedented wavelength coverage across the entire visible and UV wavelength bands at very high-power levels and with high overall efficiency.
The project will involve a detailed study into the physics of nonlinear frequency-converted fibre lasers operated at very high-power levels to formulate a strategy for power scaling and to determine the fundamental limits. The use of techniques, such as coherent beam combination, will also be explored for increasing power beyond the limit of a single source.

PhD position summary/title: High Energy Laser Beam Combination and Propagation of Tailored Beams
This project will contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MoD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security.
The project will have two main themes:
- exploring coherent beam combination to increase laser power well beyond the fundamental limits of a single laser. The emphasis of the work will be to investigate an all-fibre approach to eliminate or reduce the need for free-space optical components.
- exploring whether beams with tailored profiles in terms of phase, intensity and polarisation can offer advantages in terms of atmospheric propagation and overall effect.

PhD position summary/title: Disrupting oral biofilm formation & maturation: Covalently inhibiting glucan sucrases from Streptococci
This research will focus on oral biofilms and their effects on oral health. The project is highly multidisciplinary and will pioneer a novel approach to control the formation and maturation of biofilm within the oral microbiome, combining the latest chemical biology technique with microbiological methods.
Oral biofilms aggressively developing on dental surfaces are linked to numerous human oral illnesses. Biofilms comprise a microbe-derived extracellular-matrix and with biofilm maturation, constituent matrix exopolysaccharides formed on tooth surfaces provide binding-sites and optimal environments for microbes’ growth, leading to pathogenesis. It is thus crucial to understand relationships between biofilm maturation and oral pathogenesis.
Formation and maturation of oral biofilms are affected by key enzymes. We will attempt to control such enzymes’ activity through chemical inhibitors and probes. This project combines a wide variety of expertise including carbohydrate chemistry, enzymology, molecular biology, and microbiology to provide an insight into the oral biofilm’s impact on the oral health.

PhD position summary/title: Molecular mechanisms of peroxisome formation and function in human health and disease
Why do cells need peroxisomes? In this project we will use a combination of molecular and cell biological techniques to understand the role that peroxisomes play in neuronal development and stress response. We will establish tools to investigate peroxisome formation and function based on the peroxisomal probes developed in the lab.
Peroxisomes are pan-eukaryotic organelles that regulate lipid and oxidative metabolism of the cell. Peroxisome dysregulation due to known mutations in peroxisomal genes causes a spectrum of incurable rare neurodegenerative conditions – Peroxisome Biogenesis Disorders (PBD).
Despite our understanding of PBD genetics and peroxisome biogenesis (formation and function) mechanisms, PBD molecular pathology remains poorly understood. In this project we will investigate the molecular mechanisms of peroxisome formation and function, focusing on the role of peroxisomes in neuronal development.

PhD position summary/title: Does systemic inflammation accelerate tau spreading by promoting glial activation?
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease, with a complex biology. We aim to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tau pathology in the absence or presence of systemic inflammation. The results may lead to improved understanding of the biological mechanism underlying spreading of Tau in the AD-affected brain.
Build-up of ‘amyloid plaques’ in the brain is recognised as an early feature of Alzheimer’s Disease, but the presence of tau tangles or inflammation better predicts memory loss. Tau tangles can spread through the brain affecting a whole network of neurons. Using an experimental model of AD, we showed that systemic inflammation accelerates the spreading of tau, possibly due to activation of microglial cells.
This research aims to explore the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying accelerated tau pathology following systemic inflammation. You will use an experimental model to study the effect of a real live, systemic bacterial infection on glial activation, tau pathology and amyloid load. By exploring different time points we aim to identify how, and when, different cell types contribute to the spreading of tau.
