Fully funded PhD opportunity at University College London (UCL) in Biochemical Engineering, in collaboration with AstraZeneca, on Beyond Newtonian: Digital Twins and Scaling Rules for Next-Generation Biologics Manufacturing . The project focuses on concentrated protein drugs that can behave like shear-thinning fluids rather than Newtonian liquids. The successful PhD researcher will develop rheological models for these biologics, integrate them into CFD-based process models , validate the models ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Bristol under the SWBio DTP Hub Doctoral Training Partnership. The project is titled “Will tomorrow's climate grow tomorrow's food? Modelling crop resilience across the U.K.” and focuses on agriculture, environmental biosciences, climate change, food security, environmental stress, and crop modelling. The project will advance the Joint UK Land Environment Simulator (JULES) , the land surface model used by the UK Met Office and the wider Earth system modelling...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in robotics , mechatronics , computer vision , and environmental engineering . The project, titled Pervasive Robotic Control of the Invasive Alien Species Floating Pennywort (Hydrocotyle Ranunculoides) , focuses on developing autonomous aquatic robots to detect, collect, and manage floating pennywort in real river and canal environments. The research sits at the intersection of robotics , ecology , and environmental resilience . Possible research direct...

PhD opportunity in Ecosystem Responses to Changes in Ocean Circulation at the University of East Anglia . The project sits at the intersection of oceanography , ocean biogeochemical modelling , ocean circulation , biogeochemistry , and climate , with a focus on understanding how marine ecosystems respond to circulation changes in the ocean carbon cycle.
