-
Assessing the effect of a novel cardiac drug on muscle mechano-energetics: experiments and mathematical modelling
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: As an ME student in this project, you will use advanced muscle experimentation and quantitative mathematical modelling techniques to understand how a novel cardiac drug can improve heart function.
-
Broadening the approach of studying skinned cardiac muscle
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Cardiac muscle can have its membrane removed ('skinned') in experimental study. Can we study skinned cardiac muscle like it was still intact (before skinning)?
-
Unlocking the pregnancy puzzle with mathematical modeling
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Detecting issues during pregnancy is tricky and maths modeling can predict and prevent problems. With experimental / clinical data and your Masters thesis, solving the puzzle of pregnancy awaits.
-
High-throughput testing of living heart muscles
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Learn and apply highly-transferable skills: optics, mechatronics, real-time image processing, and more, as you design, construct, and test a new instrument for studying living heart muscle.
-
Thermodynamically consistent cardiac action potential modelling
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: Want to balance the laws of thermodynamics while modelling the behaviour of the heart? We seek to use bleeding-edge computational methods to assemble, verify and validate a novel model of a cell.
-
Mechanoenergetics of smooth muscle
FULLY FUNDED: Smooth muscle is a natural machine that converts chemical energy into force and work. It enables swallowing, digestion, breathing, and other functions. Help us measure its efficiency.

**ME TEMPLATE**
FULLY FUNDED/ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*:
-
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.
-
Markerless cell sorting
ELIGIBLE FOR FUNDING*: In this ME or PhD project, you'll develop new methods for rapidly identifying different types of living cells, while keeping them healthy, and safe for human use.
-
Multiscale computational modelling of nutrient absorption mechanisms in the small intestine
FULLY FUNDED*: This project will involve the development of a multiscale computational model of nutrient absorption within the small intestine
