1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Studying biological variation in the environmental sensor and novel psoriasis drug target Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR): expression, regulation and biomarker potential
Summary of PhD Project
Psoriasis is an immune-mediated, chronic inflammatory skin condition due to combination of genetic predisposition, environmental triggers, and dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses [1]. The disease has a major impact on patient’s quality of life and pose a significant financial burden on the healthcare system. Recent progress in the identification of key cellular player and molecular pathways underpinning disease pathogenesis has led to the design and use of effective targeted therapies against key pro-inflammatory cytokines.

2. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Start-up Studentship: Next generation simulation for pharmaceuticals manufacture
Summary of PhD Project
This funded PhD project will investigate numerical modelling of multi-phase and multi-scale systems, focussing on applications in pharmaceuticals manufacturing. Key to achieving efficient mixing and mass transfer rates will be simulation of reactor fluidic processes and phase interactions between fluids and gases. The project will involve developing and investigating combinations of simulation technologies including meshless Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) and more conventional high-order finite volume-based schemes and building in capability for multiphase and phase change.

3. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Time-varying metamaterials for controlling thermal properties
Summary of PhD Project
Metamaterials are engineered structures designed to manipulate physical phenomena in ways not possible with natural materials. Among their many applications, controlling thermal properties is a particularly promising area. Time-varying metamaterials, which change their properties dynamically over time, offer innovative solutions for thermal management. These materials can be programmed to respond to external stimuli such as temperature, light, or electromagnetic fields, enabling precise control over heat flow and distribution.

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Supply scenario simulation and optimisation in a global complex multi-echelon consumer healthcare supply chain
Summary of PhD Project
Haleon is a modern consumer healthcare company with a rich and diversified portfolio of products, distributed to millions of customers utilizing a variety of selling archetypes (including direct-to-retailer, distributor, or direct-to-pharmacy models). To achieve this, Haleon relies on a complex global multiechelon supply chain (taking into consideration raw materials supply, manufacturing, logistics and distribution). In such supply chain models, customers represent demand nodes (in which the demand levels are typically stochastic, having varied service levels and pricing agreements).

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Large-Scale Continuous Nonlinear Optimisation
Summary of PhD Project
This project will focus on the development and analysis of efficient and robust optimisation algorithms for the solution of general or application-directed nonlinear (possibly stochastic, non-smooth, or non-convex) continuous optimisation problems of large-scale (i.e., problems with millions to billions to variables). This research will involve deriving novel first- and/or second-order optimisation methods, conducting convergence analyses and developing associated efficient implementations.

11. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Development of novel delivery platforms and spatially resolved protocols for cellular imaging of prospective therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals
Summary of PhD Project
A key requirement for the optimisation of cancer treatments is to be able to selectively kill cancer cells, sparing healthy tissue. In recent years, there has been unprecedented development in therapeutic radionuclides for cancer treatment. For example, alpha-emitting radionuclides are undergoing clinical trials and Auger-emitting radionuclides are showing great promise for therapeutic applications. These radionuclides have a shorter range in biological tissues than the currently used beta-emitting radionuclides. This makes them highly effective at causing localised damage to cancer cells, and sparing healthy tissue, an exciting prospect for cancer treatment.
