Bubbles for breaking bon biofilms
The main aim of this research project is to investigate the use of ultrasound-responsive microbubbles as a means of antibiotic delivery in bone biofilms. -
Physics and astronomy
Quantum-corrected Floquet dynamics: a new approach to quantum control
Increasingly sophisticated control of quantum systems using classical fields is a crucial tool in emerging scientific and technological applications. At heart, however, control fields are quantum. In this project, you will study how the quantum nature of the field changes the dynamics of the quantum system being controlled. -
Engineering
Blockage effects on tidal turbines
Tidal Turbines (underwater wind turbines) are able to operate close together and this can increase power capture. To get it to work well we need to understand many different aspects of device design and operating environment. Building on existing work you will experimentally and numerically investigate ways to boost performance. -
