PhD (Philosophy Doctorate) Programs in University of Leeds

Summary This project involves the synthesis, electrochemistry and host: guest chemistry of metal complexes of redox-active (non-innocent) ligands. An example is the dioxolene ligands, which can readily cycle between the...

Summary Artificial Intelligence has attracted considerable attention from Civil Engineers over the last decade, especially Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which can provide a flexible mathematical structure capable of i...

Summary The complexity of decision-making during the execution of construction projects has been the driving force for several research initiatives over the last decade to propose decision-making support systems for cons...

Summary This project will characterise the life-cycle performance of low-carbon concrete structural systems with various forms for optimal life-cycle costs and embodied carbon. Concrete is the most used construction mate...

Summary The School of Biology invites applications from prospective postgraduate researchers who wish to commence study for a PhD in the academic year 2024/25. The project focuses on how infectious agents modify the indi...

Summary Differently shaped “phantom” femoral heads will be manufactured, assessed computationally and experimentally to better understand femoroacetabular impingement damage mechanisms. Motivation Hip pain in younger peo...

Summary Are you excited to contribute to a future of safe autonomous self-driving cars? Or are you fascinated to study the impact of autonomous vehicles mobility on cutting-edge computing infrastructures such as the edge...

Summary This PhD project addresses the construction of topological invariants in low dimensional geometric topology, arising from combinatorial representation theory, and (possibly) also their applications to physics, in...

Summary The global transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources necessitates the development of more advanced technologies for solar energy harvesting. Nanomaterials, due to their unique optical and electroni...

Summary Unlike the fundamental forces of the Standard Model, such as electromagnetic, weak and strong forces, the quantum effects of gravity are still experimentally inaccessible. The weak coupling of gravity with matter...
