Microplastic and chemical additives contamination in surface and groundwater in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh, India and their bioremediation using Nature-based Solutions

This proposal centres on the global issue of MP pollution in urban environments specifically focusing on surface and groundwater in the Indian city of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.

Microplastics and chemical additives from virgin and recycled Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) packaging material: Leachability, toxicity, and behavioural aspects

This interdisciplinary project investigates the release of microplastics (MPs) and chemical additives from virgin polyethylene terephthalate (vPET) and recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) bottled water, and assesses their potential impacts on human health and consumer perception.

Microplastics and chemical additives from food grade baby feeding products: Leachability, toxicity, and the role of feeding behaviour

This PhD project investigates whether plastic baby feeding products, such as baby bottles and reusable food pouches, release microplastics and chemical additives during everyday use, and whether these substances may affect early brain development.

Translating Climate Risk into Action: An Agentic AI Decision-Support System

This PhD project will develop an agentic AI system capable of generating context‑specific, stakeholder‑relevant climate adaptation narratives and decision‑support outputs for agricultural and peri‑urban planning.

AI-enhanced climate storylines for agricultural adaptation and resilience

This PhD project will develop AI-enhanced climate storylines to support agricultural adaptation to climate change. The project integrates machine‑learning downscaling and analysis of climate extremes, alongside participatory co‑production with agricultural stakeholders.

Mapping green and blue spaces in Coventry to inform strategies for improving urban green spaces for nature and communities

A one-year, fully-funded Masters by Research project which will evaluate and map Coventry's green-blue spaces.

Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Systems for removing Emerging Pollutants

A fully funded studentship, the main goal of this PhD project is to investigate the potential of Decentralised Wastewater Treatment Systems (DWTSs) to effectively remove a range of emerging pollutants from wastewater streams.

Investigating environmental pollution in India by Contaminants of Emerging Concern transported in floodwaters and the potential of bioremediatation using Nature-based Solutions

This project studies how floods move harmful chemicals in a city in India and looks at natural ways to reduce this pollution. The PhD will take place in India and the UK, combining fieldwork, lab experiments, and advanced chemical analysis using mass spectrometry.
