Porous nanostructures from tyres recycling and its application in energy storageBournemouth University | Faculty of Science & TechnologySupervisor:Dr A Abdelkader
Application Deadline:Monday, August 17, 2020
Funded PhD Project(Students Worldwide)
About the Project
There is increasing awareness across the globe of the disposal of waste materials. The significant of the problem increases for waste with high heterogeneity, which complicates their recycling in terms of environmental and economic feasibility. The proposed project is looking to introduce an out-of-the-box solution for carbon-based materials waste problem. The project aims to develop an integrated system to recycle various carbon waste materials and converting them into nanostructures that can be used in energy storage applications. The project will utilise new green technology for the conversion process. Existing concepts that have been developed in the Advanced Materials Lab in Bournemouth will be explored further, and new ideas will be developed. This PhD studentship also aims to deliver novel battery electrodes based on the recycled materials with properties meeting the latest application requirements in terms of performance, safety and sustainability. The project is multidisciplinary and covers aspects of chemistry, chemical engineering, and materials science.
The BU PhD Studentships are open to UK, EU and International students.
Candidates for a PhD Studentship should demonstrate outstanding qualities and be motivated to complete a PhD in 4 years and must demonstrate:
• outstanding academic potential as measured normally by either a 1st class honours degree (or equivalent Grade Point Average (GPA) or a Master’s degree with distinction or equivalent
• an IELTS (Academic) score of 6.5 minimum (with a minimum 6.0 in each component, or equivalent) for candidates for whom English is not their first language and this must be evidenced at point of application.
Additional eligibility: The ideal candidate for the role will have received a First-class Honours degree in Materials Science, Chemistry, chemical engineering, or a related discipline. They will preferably have some experience with molten salts and/or lithium-ion batteries.

Funded PhD Project(Students Worldwide)
About the Project
The Cardiff Unit for Research and Evaluation in Medical and Dental Education (CUREMeDE) supported by the School of Social Sciences and the School of Computer Science and Informatics invites applications for PhD study. This studentship is funded by the Health and Care Research Wales and is available on a 3-year full-time basis.
Mobile technology can give hospital management staff up-to-the-minute information which can assist them with bed management by tracking patient-flow through the system. Yet we know very little about whether benefits materialise. This fully funded PhD studentship provides opportunity to find out if using mobile devices to record patient observations at the bedside makes any difference to the management of patient care and how it impacts on professional practice and relationships in the multidisciplinary team. Building on current research looking at the routinely collected data in terms of observation patterns and whether they conform to policy, this doctoral study seeks to identify, develop and test methodologies that focus on investigating effects on the clinical care of patients, operational management and multidisciplinary team practice. Following a review of literature and an exploration of evaluation methodologies, the doctoral student will conduct an empirical study in two hospitals in South Wales, collecting and analysing data from a range of methods within a case study design, likely to include questionnaires and interviews with members of the multidisciplinary team as well as anonymised patient observation data.

3D Bioprinting of Tissue Culture ScaffoldsUniversity of Sheffield | Department of Chemical & Biological EngineeringApplication Deadline:Applications accepted all year round
Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
3D scaffolds with excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, sophisticated 3D structures and appropriate mechanical properties are particularly desired as in vitro models in biomedical research and are highly attractive in clinical applications (e.g. as nerve guidance conduits) However, fabricating such scaffolds is challenging. In particular, the lack of precise control of 3D structures (e.g. architectures, porosities, pore sizes and vascularity) in scaffolds has become a major challenge due to the lack of advanced fabrication techniques.
This PhD project is to fabricate 3D tissue cultural scaffolds with well-defined architectures using bio printing technologies with various bio-inks such as silk fibroin/sericin, designed self-assembling peptide hydrogels, alginate and chitosan. The student will be trained to use modern techniques such as 3D bioprinters, AFM, SEM, TEM, FTIR, Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy (CLSM) etc. to fabricate the scaffolds and characterize their properties. A combination of relevant cell assays will also be carried out to evaluate the biocompatibility, degradability and biological functions of the fabricated scaffolds.
