The University of Exeter is a public research university in the West Country of England, with its main campus in Exeter, Devon. Its predecessor institutions, St Luke's College, Exeter School of Science, Exeter School of Art, and the Camborne School of Mines were established in 1838, 1855, 1863, and 1888 respectively. These institutions formed the University of Exeter when it received its royal charter in 1955. In post-nominals, the University of Exeter is abbreviated as Exon. ; this is the suffix given to honorary and academic degrees from the university.

Metamaterials use engineered structures to achieve functionality that the constituent materials alone cannot provide. This project explores novel bioinspired fluidic metamaterials which use hierarchical surface patterns inspired by carnivorous plants to control the speed and direction of water…
Plant viruses pose a major challenge to global food production. Their ability to evolve, overcome crop defences, cross species barriers and emerge in more damaging forms threatens agricultural sustainability worldwide. Yet we still do not understand one of the key processes driving viral evolution…
Rainbow trout and Atlantic salmon represent the gold standard for technologically advanced fish farming (aquaculture). The market is valued at $5.3 billion for trout globally (£59 million in the UK) and $18.9 billion for salmon globally (£1.13 billion in the UK). An emerging but quantitatively…
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) underpin UK employment and innovation, yet many struggle to turn early success into sustainable growth. Rising demand can expose informal routines, disconnected systems, founder dependence and employee overload. Managers may see delayed delivery or lost…
Most organisations can demonstrate that AI works in a pilot; far fewer can sustain its value when it is embedded in complex, high-throughput operations. In supply chains, this matters not only commercially but environmentally. When AI-enabled forecasting, inventory and decision-support systems lose…
Metamaterials are advanced materials with engineered structures that give them properties beyond those of their constituent materials. They are increasingly positioned by academics and policymakers as a critical addition to advanced materials product pipelines. Public and private investment in the…
Structured light for full 3D vectorial control of the focal field — and the first true 3D readout of molecular organisation in tissue. During this project you will lead the design, build and programming an optical microscope that does something no existing instrument can: Shape the full 3D vector…
Quantum technologies require new approaches to overcoming limited coherence, control errors and connectivity between qubits. This 3.5-year PhD will investigate whether nanomechanical systems can provide an alternative platform for quantum information processing and quantum-enhanced sensing. The…
Our aim is to control the magnetic state of a material using only pulses of light. “Switching” the magnetization of a magnet means that its north and south poles are interchanged without mechanically inverting the magnet. Magnets are normally opaque so that incident light only affects ten to…
The motivation for this project is to develop the mathematical foundations for the next generation of ocean-wave forecasting models. Accurate and timely wave forecasts are essential for the safety of shipping, coastal communities, and offshore operations, including the construction and maintenance…
Mathematical models are important tools for gaining insight into complex processes across biological systems and healthcare. To support high-stakes decisions in a clinical setting using these models, we need to ensure that their predictions are credible. Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is one of…
Quantum graph theory (QGT), defined as metric graphs endowed with differential operators, has a long history in mathematics, physics, and both theoretical chemistry and biology. The theory describes the wave properties of networks constructed from edges, endowed with the Schrödinger operator,…
This project is primarily in the field of Diophantine Approximation, which studies how well real numbers can be approximated by rational numbers and variations on this theme. Sets encountered in Diophantine Approximation are often fractal-like and it is natural to use notions from Fractal Geometry…
Agentic AI systems are language models that plan, call software tools, and complete multi-step tasks with little human input. They are moving from demonstrations into business operations such as customer support, procurement, invoice processing, and compliance checking. Most of these agents run on…
Food texture and mouthfeel are not only critical for consumer liking and acceptance, but are also intrinsically linked to mastication, swallowing and digestion. In turn, this effects the nutritional and dietary characteristics of a product. The human perception of food texture is governed by the…
Medical imaging generates very large and rapidly growing volumes of data. Although AI can support automated image analysis, many current models require substantial computing power, memory and processing time. This limits population-scale research, increases deployment costs and restricts adoption…
Summary: This PhD project will develop the next generation of hyper realistic animal free phantoms to overcome the "quantification problem" in deep Raman spectroscopy (DRS). This will enable quantitative analysis in future animal studies and varied healthcare applications. By combining time-domain…
Digital Twins rely on synchronisation between physical and virtual entities to maintain sufficient fidelity with the systems they represent. However, determining when synchronisation is genuinely necessary remains a significant challenge, particularly under uncertainty emerging from forecast…
About The Role Hospital Placement Lead (Torbay) Senior Lecturer in University of Exeter Medical School (Education and Scholarship) The salary will be renumerated through NHS payroll at equivalent of 1.25PA (0.125 FTE). This role offers the opportunity for hybrid working – primarily on campus and…
Accurate short-term visibility forecasts are essential for safe and efficient transport operations, particularly aviation, where low visibility can reduce airport capacity and cause delays and cancellations. Yet visibility remains difficult to predict. Poor visibility is highly localised and…
