-
Understanding microneedle-assisted jet injection
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project will explore the potential for combining two novel drug delivery techniques: microneedles and jet injection.
-
Biomechanics of aortic dissection
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Use advanced MR imaging and computational modelling to predict the risk of tears in the aorta.
-
Unravelling the role of lymphatics in vaping associated lung injury
FULLY FUNDED: This project will involve a world first study - using combined experimental and computational approaches - to determine the impact of vaping on the lungs and lung lymphatic vessels.
-
Electromechanical mapping of the gut using flexible electronics and cameras
FULLY FUNDED: In this project multi-modal techniques will be developed and utilised, involving flexible electronics and cameras, to gain an integrated understanding of the control mechanisms of the gut.
-
Food protein digestion model in relation to age
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: We want to establish a model to simulate the digestion of protein in relation to age, using in vitro digestion and clinical MRI methods. Results will be developed into a computational model.
-
Treating right-heart failure from an energetics perspective
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: This project is highly topical as it addresses the urgent need for improved and effective treatment options for patients with right-heart failure.
-
Computable model reuse improves credibility?
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Model credibility is a critical determinant for successful clinical translation. Standardised and automated model reuse improves model credibility, or does it?
-
Beating heart disease - non-invasive and non-contact diagnosis of cardiovascular disease
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to study cardiovascular disease diagnostics using imaging and AI? This project focuses on camera-based imaging to estimate pressure waveforms with signal processing and machine learning methods.
-
Pacemakers of the gut: Development of next generation stomach pacing techniques
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to apply a variety of engineering techniques to solve clinical problems? This project will develop new electrical pacing techniques to act as a new therapy for debilitating stomach disorders.
-
How do new weight-loss drugs work, and how do they alter gut activity?
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to help figure out how the new weight-loss drugs work? This project will help determine how activity in the stomach changes in response to these drugs.
-
Noninvasive characterisation of gastric electrical activity using electro-anatomical mapping
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to study advanced electro-anatomical mapping and its role in transforming gastric health diagnostics? Join this PhD project to uncover bioelectric patterns and create novel clinical tools!
