The project will be carried out in collaboration with TATA Steel Europe and be co-supervised between Professor Seetharaman, Royal Academy of Engineering / Tata Steel Research Chair in Low Carbon Materials Technologies and personnel from TATA Steel Europe R&D. Project: Sustainable iron manufacturing requires flexibility with regards to raw...

Supervisor: Dr Chaoying Wan Renewable carbon-based fuels are produced from biomass. An alternative way is chemical reduction of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which is being produced by industry in an increasing rate and is causing global warming problems. This project aims to develop functional nanomaterials that can capture atmospheric CO 2 and convert...

Supervisor: Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: Lithium batteries consist of various valuable compounds embedded in different layers with structural materials surrounding them. Lithium is a strategic material and will become increasingly important as electrification of vehicles continues. Currently only a small percentage of these batteries are...

Project Title: Safety Within Lithium Batteries Supervisor:  Dr Rohit Bhagat (WMG) and Chris Lyness (JLR) Project Overview: Manufacturers recommend that their lithium batteries be operated in a restricted operational range i.e. state of charge (e.g. 30-75%), temperature (e.g. 10-50°C), pressure, compression etc. When taken past these...

Faculty of Natural Sciences Salary range: £32,100 - £40,720 per annum A Research Associate position is available to work with Dr Travis Bayer at the Centre for Synthetic Biology and Innovation at Imperial College London, to carry out a programme of research developing chemical biology tools to study bioleaching of metals from ores....

Supervisor: Dr Rohit Bhagat (WMG) and Chris Lyness (JLR) Project Overview: Accelerated testing is a process of testing a product by subjecting it to conditions (stress, strain, temperature, cycle rate, pressure etc.) in excess of its normal service parameters in an effort to uncover faults and potential modes of failure in a short time. For...

Sustainability PhD Project “Enabling the Recovery of Metals from Pollutants” Supervisor : Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: It is currently possible to use plants to accumulate and concentrate metals from soil. However a method to extract metals from these plants is as yet unrealised. If a method were to be identified...

Supervisor : Dr Rohit Bhagat Project Overview: The electrical energy being used around us was generated a few moments before it was supplied. This is because the way things stand energy generation and demand must be in constant balance. This is problematic for energy generation, as it requires spare capacity and constant shifting of power output....

Project Details: A studentship is available in the group of Dr Julien Gautrot, focusing on the chemistry and biocompatibility of composites. The research will develop novel chemical routes to bio-compatible composites, in collaboration with FormFormForm (FFF), a dynamic company exploring materials design and innovation. Composites play an essential...
