2. Fully Funded PhD in Towards Compact Gamma-ray Free Electron Lasers
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The aim of this project is to develop new theoretical and computational tools for modelling gamma-ray FELs, combining classical and quantum descriptions. These will be used to analyse two candidates for short-period undulators based on intense laser beams and periodically deformed crystals, to assess the feasibility of producing coherent gamma-ray pulses.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025
3. Fully Funded PhD in Technologies for optogenetic neural interfacing
Summary of Funded PhD Program
In this PhD, you will develop a novel neural interface technology for optogenetic control of neural circuits. This will be a multi-channel, optoelectronic, neural interface device that has the ability to emit at multiple wavelengths and record the subsequent neural activity in vivo. The multi-wavelength capability means that more than one class of neurons can be excited or inhibited simultaneously. This ability to precisely activate or inhibit specific neural circuits, while recording their activity, opens up the possibility of closed-loop control of neural circuits, with implications for how we best address neurodegenerative disorders.

4. Fully Funded PhD in Sideband Suppression on High Power Microwave Antenna
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD research project will involve the student in undertaking numerical simulations and benchmarking these against experimental measurements either in industry facilities or at the University to investigate novel schemes to suppress undesired sidebands in the output of slot mode antenna. The student will also explore alternative antenna designs to realise the same benefits. These antenna can be used in beaming microwave energy for application in energy transfer.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025
5. Fully Funded PhD in Optoelectronic neural probes for in vivo manipulation of neural circuits
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD offers the opportunity to develop an advanced optoelectronic neural implant capable of interfacing with populations of neurons across brain regions. The device will guide two wavelengths of light into deep regions of the brain to allow optogenetic excitation and inhibition of neural activity to enhance our understanding of brain function. Candidates would be expected to have a background in Physics or Engineering, with an interest in neurotechnologies.

6. Fully Funded PhD in Propagation of RF/microwave signals in plasma
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This PhD research project will involve the student in undertaking numerical simulations and experimental investigations into RF and microwave propagation in plasma. Plasma as a non-linear and dispersive media can have a dramatic impact on the propagation of EM signals. Such effects are well known in laser-plasma interactions, in the injection of powerful microwave heating and current drive microwave signals in magnetically confined fusion plasma and in RF waves interacting in the ionosphere.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025
7. Fully Funded PhD in Abasic pivots as a new modality for the development of oligonucleotide therapeutics
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This studentship will explore the development of new nucleotide modifications for oligonucleotide therapeutic applications. The work will involve establishing new synthetic methodology for the synthesis of abasic site building blocks and their incorporation into oligonucleotides. The effect of these modifications will be explore using a range of biophysical techniques, and their biological activity evaluated in cell lines.

8. Fully Funded PhD in Development of novel pathways to convert CO2 into C2+ fuels and chemicals towards net zero
Summary of Funded PhD Program
Achieving carbon neutrality targets by 2050 is widely recognized as the global most important and challenging mission. The pathways to achieve zero emissions are complex, within which, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) is playing a critical role. CCUS tackles CO2 emissions from existing energy assets or remove CO2 from the atmosphere and further convert it into another chemical form. For CO2 conversion, C1 based renewable fuels and chemicals (CO, methane, and methanol) are being generated through hydrogenation adopting photo-catalysis, electrochemistry, or thermo-catalysis.
Application Deadline: 31 January 2025
9. Fully Funded PhD in High Fidelity Entaglement In a Trapped Ion Chain
Summary of Funded PhD Program
This project is focused on exploring scalability of atomic quantum hardware by overcoming barriers to achieving high fidelity coherent control and entanglement using both trapped ions and neutral atoms. Working in close collaboration between experimental teams at NPL and Strathclyde, we are seeking to recruit a PhD student to address the shared challenges in performing coherent control and state readout in a trapped-ion hardware platform at NPL.
