Funded PhD project at Abertay University in collaboration with the University of Dundee on the thermomechanical behaviour of energy piles under complex loading conditions . The project sits at the intersection of civil engineering , geotechnical engineering , environmental science , and shallow geothermal energy , with a strong focus on energy geostructures , ground source heat pumps , and low-carbon heating for net-zero infrastructure. The research aims to understand and measure the thermomecha...

PhD in Railway Circular Economy at the University of Leeds (School of Civil Engineering). This PhD project explores sustainable solutions for railway track infrastructure through the principles of a circular economy. The research focuses on the scalable reprocessing of ballast, sleepers, rails, and other track components to convert network waste into high-quality secondary commercial materials. Possible research directions include: scalable reprocessing for spent railway ballast; structural perf...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in Climate Resilience of Infrastructure to Rainfall (PGR-P-1395), supervised by Professor David Connolly in the School of Civil Engineering . This project focuses on how climate change-driven rainfall affects transport, geotechnical, and structural infrastructure. Research themes include rainfall-induced slope collapse, geotechnical instability, soil shrink-swell cycles, water ponding on roofs and bridge decks, structural overloading, drainage, and adap...
