PhD position summary/title: Development, optimisation, and validation of µCT-based 3D X-ray histology for advanced clinical and biomedical applications
This PhD project will develop, optimise, and validate three-dimensional (3D) X-ray histology using micro-computed tomography (µCT) to transform how tissue samples are analysed in both clinical diagnostics and biomedical research.
Conventional histopathology relies on slicing tissues before microscopic analysis, which risks missing critical structures. In contrast, µCT allows for non-destructive, whole-tissue imaging—offering detailed 3D insight before physical sectioning. This project aims to create imaging workflows that guide sampling and sectioning with greater precision, reducing diagnostic errors and supporting advanced downstream analyses such as immunohistochemistry and spatial multi -omics.
You will design and validate new protocols for both fresh and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue imaging, assess diagnostic value, such as tumour margin assessment, and evaluate the impact of X-ray exposure on tissue quality for molecular analysis. A dedicated work package will investigate the potential of this technology to support tissue microarray construction, sample sharing, and cost recovery in biobanking.

PhD position summary/title: System identification of nonlinear space structures via physics-informed machine learning
Modern space systems, from spacecraft components to precision sensors, operate in extreme and hostile environments. To meet stringent performance demands while minimising payload mass, ultra-lightweight high-performance structures are increasingly employed in space missions. Although such advanced structures offer exceptional capabilities, they often exhibit nonlinear dynamic behaviours which cannot be captured by employing classical linear models. Such behaviours arise from geometric nonlinearities, friction, contact, and complex damping mechanisms, all of which critically impact the performance, stability, and reliability of space structures. In this context, developing novel tools for the analysis, identification, and prediction of the dynamics of nonlinear systems is essential for designing, testing, and validating the next generation of space technologies.
This project will combine numerical modelling, advanced analytical techniques, and experimental methods to develop a novel approach for the identification of nonlinear systems. Specifically, this project aims to:
- develop a novel nonlinear system identification method based on physics-informed machine learning approaches, capable of producing computationally efficient reduced-order models and enabling accurate, efficient modelling of complex space structures
- investigate the accuracy and extrapolation capabilities of the identified reduced-order models, identifying pros and cons of the proposed approach
- validate theoretical and numerical results through state-of-the-art experimental facilities

PhD position summary/title: Development of a low-cost wearable system for respiration monitoring using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)
Respiratory diseases are a major health concern in the UK, affecting one in five individuals and costing approximately £188 billion annually. Current monitoring methods, such as manual counting, respiration belts, and end-tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) measurement, have limitations in accuracy and comfort and are unsuitable for long-term continuous monitoring.
Continuous respiratory monitoring is crucial as many conditions develop progressively. Wearable medical devices offer a promising solution for real-time and continuous health tracking, but an ideal, cost-effective, and comfortable long-term respiratory monitoring system is lacking. Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) uses light to interrogate the optical properties of tissue. The dynamical changes of these properties are closely related to physiological signals such as respiration, heart rate, and tissue oxygenation.
This project aims to investigate the feasibility of long-term respiration monitoring using NIRS and to develop a wearable monitor using NIRS technology. The objectives are:
- simulating light transport in the thorax to understand the source of signals and optimise monitoring
- designing and building a low-cost wearable sensor for lung health monitoring
- testing the feasibility of continuous monitoring with the wearable sensor in a healthy adult cohort
- identifying and classifying waveform patterns and breathing parameters using artificial intelligence (AI)

PhD position summary/title: AI-based virtual microphone technique for automotive applications
The field of automotive noise control is growing rapidly, with active noise reduction inside car cabins emerging as a major research focus. Automotive active noise control systems aim to create carefully designed sound fields (anti-sound) using car-mounted loudspeakers to cancel unwanted noise. While effective at controlling engine noise due to its tonal nature, these systems face challenges with broader noise sources like road noise, as controlling sound fields over large spaces is difficult at high frequencies.
This limitation can be overcome by enabling localized active noise control around the driver’s and passengers’ ears. This can be achieved without the use of in-ear microphones. A crucial step is therefore estimating the sound pressure at the ears. The goal of this project is to develop AI-based technology that predicts sound pressure at the listener’s ears using signals from microphones positioned near, but not at, the ears; for example, on seat headrests.

PhD position summary/title: The evolution of compact binary stars: next generation population synthesis
Most stars are members of binary systems. Many of the most interesting astrophysical systems, from Type Ia supernovae to the black-hole mergers observed by LIGO, only exist as products of binary evolution. In almost all of these systems, one or both binary components are compact objects (white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes). Despite their importance, the evolution of compact interacting binary stars remains poorly understood. For example, we still don’t even know the dominant pathway(s) for producing Type Ia supernovae, even though we routinely use these objects as cosmological standard candles.
The problem is that several critical physical processes for binary evolution are extremely difficult to model accurately and self-consistently. Much of what we have learned about these systems has come from “population synthesis” studies, in which the properties of the detectable populations of these systems are predicted via numerical simulations.
In this project, you will develop a next-generation population synthesis data base and framework for compact binary systems. A unique feature of your work will be an emphasis on adopting and testing state-of-the-art physical and theoretical constraints on all key physical processes. For example, you will use the latest research on the spin down rates of single and detached binary stars to inform your modelling of interacting compact binaries. You will then exploit this framework to predict the populations of white dwarf, neutron star and black hole binaries, from those that can be observed both electromagnetically to those that will be seen with gravitational wave detectors.

PhD position summary/title: The forgotten population of gravitational wave sources
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) has been a huge breakthrough in physics. Today’s GW detectors are located on Earth, but the next big milestone will be a space-based GW observatory called “LISA”. In this project, we will study a crucial, but overlooked, GW source population for LISA: contact binaries.
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from merging black holes and neutron stars has been one of the greatest breakthroughs in (astro)physics in recent years. The next milestone in this field will be the launch of the space-based LISA mission. LISA’s sensitivity to low-frequency GWs will allow it to detect (for the first time) close binary stars in the Milky Way.
In preparation for LISA, huge effort is currently being dedicated to estimating the number and properties of these binary systems. However, essentially all of this effort has so far been dedicated to compact binaries, such as systems in which one of both components are black holes, neutron stars or white dwarfs. What has been overlooked is the one important population of close binaries in which neither component is compact: the contact binaries. These are composed of “normal” stars that have been forced so close together that they share a single dumbbell-shaped envelope.
In this project, you’ll construct the most up-to-date compilation of contact binaries, determine the number of these systems in the Milky Way and carry out simulations to predict the gravitational wave signals they will produce in LISA.

PhD position summary/title: Accretion disk winds in quasars
All quasars are powered by the same central engine: a supermassive black hole that is fed by a luminous accretion disk. Approximately 15% of all quasars exhibit clear evidence for powerful outflows driven from these disks, in the form of broad, blue-shifted absorption lines. However, these systems are the tip of the iceberg. They represent just the sub-set of quasars viewed at a particularly favourable orientation. In reality, all quasars are likely to drive such winds.
This is important, because these outflows provide a key feedback mechanism: they can remove significant amounts of mass, energy and angular momentum from the quasar and inject it into the surrounding (inter-)galactic medium. Despite this, we know almost nothing about these accretion disk winds. For example, the geometry, kinematics, and even the basic driving mechanism responsible for launching them are still basically unknown.
This project aims to remedy this situation by modelling the wind-formed observational signatures of quasars. This work will be carried out in the context of an established collaboration and will use an existing, state-of-the-art Monte Carlo radiative transfer code. The ultimate goal is to determine the fundamental parameters of quasar accretion disk winds and thus shed light on how they regulate the fuelling of supermassive black holes and the feedback between quasars and their environments. In addition, You will test a wind-based quasar unification scenario: is it possible that most observational signatures we associate with quasars are actually shaped by disk winds?

PhD position summary/title: AI-enhanced operation and maintenance of offshore wind farms: towards resilient energy systems
Offshore wind farms are central to global decarbonisation and renewable energy strategies. However, their operation and maintenance (O&M) costs account for up to 30% of total lifecycle expenditure, with unplanned downtime threatening reliability and profitability. Traditional O&M strategies are often reactive, lacking predictive insight and adaptability to complex offshore environments.
This project will investigate how artificial intelligence (AI) can transform offshore wind O&M by advancing automated risk analysis, predictive maintenance, and decision-support frameworks for resilient energy systems. The research will focus on integrating data-driven models, sensor data (SCADA, condition monitoring), and advanced algorithms to forecast failures, optimise inspection schedules, and improve system resilience. Particular attention will be paid to uncertainty quantification, human–AI collaboration, and the scalability of solutions for large wind farm deployments.
The intended outcomes include developing innovative AI-enabled tools that reduce costs, minimise downtime, and strengthen resilience of offshore renewable energy systems. The project also aims to contribute new knowledge at the intersection of AI, risk analysis, and offshore energy engineering, with applications extending to digital twins and smart maintenance strategies.

PhD position summary/title: Dynamical black hole mass measurements at high redshift with GRAVITY+
Recent observations suggest that quasars in the early universe have SMBHs that are too massive to form in the short time since the big bang, shaking the foundations of cosmology and our understanding of black hole growth. The main problem is that we cannot be sure that the methods employed to estimate those SMBH masses are reliable in the conditions of the early universe. GRAVITY+ will deliver transformational capabilities to measure spatially resolved, dynamical supermassive black hole masses up to redshift 4.5 and possibly beyond. Our first data from such a high redshift quasar indicate that current mass estimates may indeed be out by a factor of 10.
Using these new GRAVITY+ measurements, we will be able to recalibrate early universe measurements and deliver precise and accurate SMBH masses. As part of this project, you’ll work on GRAVITY+ data of quasars between redshift 1 < z < 4.5, perform dynamical modelling to determine the SMBH masses, and compare those measurements to estimates from more generic methods used in the early universe. With this comparison, you’ll be able to characterise how high-luminosity, fast growing objects are offset from local sources and how early universe mass estimates need to be corrected.

PhD position summary/title: Flexible Hybrid thermoelectric materials and devices
Wearable electronics such as smart watches, smart glasses or smart pacemakers, have been hailed as the next generation of mobile electronic gadgets that can transform our daily lives. Despite the explosive growth of wearable technology the majority of wearable devices are still powered by batteries that require frequent recharging and replacement even though these devices require energy autonomy for an extended service time without the user’s intervention.
A possible solution for the realization of self-powered wearable devices is the generation of power from body heat using flexible thermoelectric (TE) generators. TE devices have the ability to convert heat directly into useful electricity based on the Seebeck effect. TE devices have many advantages such as solid-state operation with no moving parts, zero-emission, silent operation, vast scalability and high reliability with no maintenance and long operating lifetimes.
Despite these merits there are a number of drawbacks of existing TE generators which include low efficiency, large size, brittleness and inflexibility as they are fabricated onto rigid substrates. Researchers have demonstrated harvesting sufficient energy from body heat to power a wireless ECG system using such modules but the lack of flexibility means it is not a practical solution.

PhD position summary/title: Development of advanced intelligent systems for enhancing reliability and mission assurance of small satellites
Small satellites are revolutionising space access by enabling fast, low-cost development. However, their risk-tolerant nature often leads to mission failures, especially in early generations. Unlike traditional satellites, small satellite teams are small, with a low level of experience, and their risk assessment practices are rarely shared across institutions or countries, limiting collective learning and improvement.
Using publicly available data from over 2,500 past small satellite missions, you’ll apply big data analysis and natural language processing to extract and analyse on-orbit malfunctions. AI tools will overcome language barriers, enabling access to global datasets, including non-English sources. The result will be a comprehensive malfunction database and a risk assessment tool that prioritises risks based on mission type and team experience. It will also propose cost-effective countermeasures, allowing future small satellite developers worldwide to make informed decisions regardless of location or language.

PhD position summary/title: Coupling nuclear spin dynamics to mechanical motion
At the centre of this project is an experiment to explore gravity in a new parameter regime. The future goal is to realise a proposed protocol to probe gravity as a witness of quantum entanglement. Two masses are prepared in quantum superposition states each and only gravity interaction is allowed between the two particles. If gravity has any quantum aspect, it will be able to quantum entangle the two masses which will be probed in the proposed experiment, see Bose 2017 for the full protocol.
The key technology for generating large enough superpositions is to map a spin superposition to the centre of mass motion of each particle. The nuclear spin has the unique feature to remain coherent for much longer than electron spins or any other particle’s internal quantum states. A levitated silica nanoparticle will be trapped optically in vacuum. It contains a rare isotope of silicon with a nuclear Spin ½ state which can be routinely manipulated by common nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques.
For instance, superpositions of Spin-UP and Spin-DOWN can be generated and remain coherent for seconds. Magnetic fields, magnetic field gradients, and radio-frequency pulses Can be used to couple this spin superposition to the centre of mass translation motion or rotation of the levitated particle by techniques known as magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). The extreme force sensitivity of levitated particles allows to benefit form few or even single Spin states to prepare the motional state.

The probe mass motion will be monitored and compared to theoretical models of non-equilibrium dynamics to understand all relevant processes and effects visible in the particle oscillation.
The aim is to reach the measurement of accelerations below 10-11 m/s², which allow for testing of gravity deviating from the Newtonian one in the lab. Testing gravity will be done in multiple ways:
- we will test gravity for small masses to confirm the distance scaling compared to the expected force laws
- we will test deviations from Newtonian gravity as can be described in a generic form by Yukawa-type modulation of the common 1/r² scaling
