Space weather is driven by eruptions of plasma from the Sun’s surface called coronal mass ejections. Upon arrival at Earth, these not only extend the northern and southern lights to low latitudes but can knock out satellites, communications and entire power grids. Extreme events with low return periods are especially important for power plants where 1 in 10,000 year risk levels are required to be mitigated for. Through collaboration with EDF En...

The rapid adoption of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) technologies has transformed manufacturing, offering greater efficiency, real-time monitoring, and data-driven decision-making. However, this interconnectivity introduces significant cybersecurity vulnerabilities, leaving systems exposed to cyber-attacks. Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDS) often fall short in handling the real-time, large-scale data demands of IIoT and lack sustainability considerations, such as energy efficie...

How do we build grid batteries that are cheap, safe and made from abundant materials?

Zinc-ion batteries (ZIBs) are a promising answer – zinc is low-cost, non-toxic and works in water-based electrolytes. But current ZIBs still suffer from limited lifetime and efficiency because the electrolyte, cathode and their interface are not optimised together.

This PhD will tackle that challenge head-on. You will design “smart” aqueous or gel electrolytes and matched cathode coatings that work as a single sy...
