About this position

[Annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate (£21,805 per year) plus £1,000 per annum enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.]

This 4-year PhD studentship at The University of Manchester focuses on the development of smart knitted and 3D-printed heated gloves for people with Raynaud’s phenomenon. The project addresses a condition that causes reduced blood flow to the fingers in response to cold or stress, with symptoms such as pain, numbness, colour changes, and reduced hand function.

The research will explore how advanced textile materials can be combined with conductive yarns, knitted sensor structures, and integrated heating technologies to create wearable gloves that can both monitor finger skin temperature and provide responsive thermal regulation. The work brings together textile construction, wearable sensing, and heating integration in a medical-technology context.

The project includes the development of novel knitted and 3D-printed constructions, integration of temperature sensing and heating elements, prototype manufacture, and laboratory evaluation of thermal and functional performance. It is framed around creating a practical heated garment system for a patient group affected by vascular complications linked to Raynaud’s phenomenon and, in some cases, systemic sclerosis.

The project is expected to start in September 2027 and is part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering doctoral scholarship competition.
