Primary supervisor: Mr. David Turner Norovirus is the leading cause of gastrointestinal illness in the UK, yet the economic and behavioural drivers of its spread in early years childcare settings remain poorly understood. This fully funded PhD studentship offers an exceptional opportunity to...

Primary Supervisor: Dr Jonathan Kirby Model theory is traditionally done with “classical first-order logic”, the logic which allows unlimited use of the operators AND, OR, NOT, with the EXISTS and FOR ALL quantifiers. More recently, positive logic has emerged as a useful generalisation. For a...

Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFMs) are emerging as a promising technology for offshore wind turbine generators due to their fractional-sized power converters, elimination of rotor brushes and slip rings, and simplified gearbox systems compared to high-speed generators. These features offer...

Primary Supervisor: Dr. Christopher Birkbeck This PhD project, based at our Norwich campus, offers a unique opportunity to work at the confluence of number theory, representation theory, and formal mathematics. You will undertake a single, ambitious research project: to begin the formalisation...

Primary Supervisor: Prof. Mark Blyth Inviscid liquid jets subject to surface tension and in the absence of gravity are known to be unstable under long-wave perturbations, a phenomenon described by the classical Rayleigh–Plateau instability. However, when vorticity and swirl are included, Erhard...

Primary supervisor - Dr Abdi Jalebi Salman Reliability is critical to the continued expansion of wind power, particularly for offshore installations, which already contribute around 10-15% of the UK’s electricity and are central to achieving net-zero targets and ensuring the resilience of...

Primary Supervisor: Dr Ke Li Foundation models trained on DNA and RNA sequences are beginning to transform genomics, but their predictions often remain difficult to interpret. A model may identify a regulatory effect, sequence feature or functional element, yet it is rarely clear which evidence...

Primary Supervisor: Professor Wenbo Ma With the human population projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, the looming challenge of feeding the rapidly growing population is threatened by plant pathogens, which cause significant losses in crop yield each year. While controlling microbial pathogens...

Primary supervisor - Dr Nick Talbot What makes a plant killer lose its edge? This project will investigate why fungal pathogens lose virulence when they are grown in laboratory culture away from their host plant. Use cutting-edge molecular biology and genomics, we will try to solve a decades-old...

Primary Supervisor: Dr. Frank Menke The world’s food supply is under pressure from climate change, shortages of water as well as agriculture pests and diseases. One of the most devastating diseases of rice is caused by blast fungus (Magnaporthe oryzae), which also is the causal agent of the...
