PhD Studentship: Under pressure: Predictive modelling of battery ageing across the scales

University of Warwick

About the project: Under pressure: Predictive modelling of battery ageing across the scales Supervisor: Dr Lukasz Figiel, University of Warwick Lithium-ion batteries are essential for electric vehicles and achieving net-zero targets, but they degrade over time, reducing performance and safety. A key issue is gas generation, which causes internal pressure build-up and can lead to cell failure, but existing models struggle to capture this complex, multiscale phenomenon efficiently. This project will develop a nove...

PhD Studentship: Bottom-up Decoding of Protein Conformational Landscapes: from Gas-phase to Solution

University of Warwick

About the project: Bottom-up Decoding of Protein Conformational Landscapes: from Gas-phase to Solution Supervisor: Prof. Scott Habershon, University of Warwick Protein folding is a dynamic, complex process by which proteins traverse the free energy landscape, thus connecting the unfolded and the folded (native) state. Understanding protein folding mechanisms is a key route to better understanding misfolding-related diseases such as Alzheimer's - but predicting how proteins fold in biological environments remains...

PhD Studentship: Extreme Weather Storylines via Generative AI

University of Warwick

About the project: Extreme Weather Storylines via Generative AI Supervisor: Dr Tobias Grafke, University of Warwick Generative machine learning techniques, as known for example from large language models or image generation, have recently also taken the atmospheric dynamics and weather forecast communities by storm. At the same time, due to anthropogenetic climate change, society faces elevated risk from extreme weather events such as flash floods, heatwaves, or tropical cyclones. This project aims to combine ge...
