To complete a postgraduate research programme, youll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But itll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.<br><br>The relationships between civil infrastructure, human health and the environment are at the heart of our work. Our research considers pollutants and microorganisms in air, waste, land and water with a strong emphasis on the interrelationships between energy, sustainability, public health and environmental impact. We conduct experimental and computational studies to understand sources and exposure routes, and how the infrastructure we design, build and operate influences risks. We are interested in technical solutions and how these interface with human, economic, social and political systems. Much of our work is interdisciplinary, bringing engineering together with societal and economic factors. We aim to advance understanding of the challenges in the UK and in the global south. We have experience in urban and rural environments, in both developed and developing countries and have a long history of collaboration from local to international stakeholders.
