Imperial College London PhD Scholarship

University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship within the EPSRC FIBE3 CDT (Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero) in collaboration with Tracey Concrete . The project is titled “Next generation low-carbon crack-resistant precast shaft and tunnel segments” and sits at the intersection of civil engineering , materials science , and concrete technology . The research will investigate commercially available and emerging low-carbon binder blends , susta...

[Fully funded EPSRC/Cranfield University studentship with a tax-free stipend of £24,500 per annum plus fees and research costs for 3 years.] A fully funded PhD studentship is available at Cranfield University on Ammonia Solid Oxide Fuel Cell for Carbon-Free Energy Production . The project is supported by EPSRC through a Doctoral Landscape Award and is aligned with the UK net-zero transition, hydrogen technologies, and low-carbon energy systems. The research aims to develop a direct ammonia solid...

PhD Scholarship Project: Peptide Crystallisation at Imperial College London , Department of Chemical Engineering. This funded PhD project investigates peptide crystallisation , focusing on how molecular structure, solution environment, additives, and interfaces influence nucleation and crystal growth. The research combines systematic crystallisation screening, advanced solid-state and solution characterisation, automated experimentation, and data-driven analysis to understand crystal form, morph...

PhD studentship in photocatalysis and air-to-fuel conversion at the University of Cambridge , Department of Chemistry, in the Reisner Laboratory under Professor Erwin Reisner . The project focuses on developing integrated systems for direct air capture and subsequent CO2 conversion to green fuels and valuable chemicals. Research themes include solar-driven conversion , photocatalytic systems , gas-phase CO2 conversion, carbon capture integration, sunlight concentration, outdoor testing, and broa...

PhD Scholarship Project: Lignin valorisation for the circular economy at Imperial College London , Department of Chemical Engineering. This PhD project focuses on the valorisation of lignin, the most abundant renewable source of aromatic carbon on Earth. The research will convert lignin into well-defined aromatic and aliphatic building blocks using reductive catalytic fractionation, mechanocatalysis, and related depolymerisation strategies applied directly to lignocellulosic biomass. You will wo...
