Hydrogen will be the preferable energy carrier among synthetic fuels to address the spatial and temporal separation between energy production (renewable source) and consumption. It is carbon-free and well-suited for easy and inexpensive long-distance transport and long-term storage.
This PhD project will lead to the conception of functionally graded advanced components, combining properties that are considered unattainable.
This groundbreaking research project is dedicated to advancing the field of wave engineering and transformation within superconducting quantum computers and quantum processors. The focal point of our investigation lies in the exploration of space-time-varying superconducting metasurfaces, aiming to push the boundaries of next-generation quantum computing.
In this PhD project, you will build on this mathematical framework to develop practical mathematical and/or computational techniques for analysing the effects of field quantisation on quantum control. This work will have applications in superconducting circuit QED, the basis of many leading quantum technology platforms including IBM’s cloud-accessible quantum processors.
Join our bioinformatics PhD studentship and explore the complex interplay between Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors (GISTs) and their tumour microenvironment. Develop advanced computational biology and informatics skills and work with cutting-edge single cell and spatial transcriptomics technologies to unravel the intricacies of GIST biology and drive innovation in cancer immunology research.
Saccharomyces yeast is an outstanding model eukaryote for research and a workhorse of fermentations. Advanced techniques in microbiology, genetics, ecology and analytical chemistry will be used to deepen our understanding of yeast’s coevolution and interactions with other organisms, how it benefits from these and could be tailored for various bioprocesses.
