Ronak Janani
Ronak started her PhD at SHU in 2014 in the field of sol-gel chemistry and energy storage. Her PhD was focused on sol-gel fabrication of ionogel electrolytes for double-layer supercapacitors. Following her PhD, Ronak used her background in sol-gel chemistry to enter the field of biomaterials by researching into bioactive glass ceramics for healthcare applications. She is currently part of the iPSpine project which aims to design a novel therapy for chronic lower back pain related to disc degeneration.
New glass sensors could make commercial nuclear fusion viable
A new generation of durable sensors capable of monitoring commercial nuclear fusion reactors in real time is being developed by UK researchers
Glass and Ceramics Networking Event
The Materials and Engineering Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Institute (MERI) of Ï㽶ÊÓƵ are holding a Ceramics and Glass Networking event on Wednesday the 29th November.
Ceramics and Glass Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Group
Our research in this specialist area focuses on the improvement of materials properties through the development of novel ceramic composites. Using some of most advanced techniques and equipment, we have been improving wear resistance, strength, fracture toughness, corrosion resistance and reducing weight.
Fully-Funded PhD Scholarship in UK Radioactive Waste Thermal Treatment and Environmental Monitoring
Ï㽶ÊÓƵ is offering this challenging and exciting PhD project in radioactive waste immobilisation and monitoring. This project is fully-funded by the UK's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) and is supported by the National Nuclear Laboratory (NNL). The project is also supported by a consortium of leading UK Universities and nuclear industry partners, through the EPSRC TRANSCEND consortium, and the successful applicant will form part of a strong cohort at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and also as part of TRANSCEND.

New ceramic material can help protect our troops
Funded by the Ministry of Defence (MOD), we were tasked with creating a high performance ceramic material with potential for use in for body armour. The project was undertaken by Hywel Jones, one of our materials engineering experts, and Anthony Pick, a ceramic consultant
Ceramics and Glasses seminar reveals new industry opportunities
We recently launched our new ceramic and glass capabilities with a seminar and networking session for current and prospective clients lead by Drs Hywel Jones and Paul Bingham
Dr Paul Bingham becomes a Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology
Our Senior Lecturer in Materials Engineering, Dr Paul Bingham, was recently made a Fellow of the Society of Glass Technology
Drs Hywel Jones and Paul Bingham open ceramics theme
The ceramics theme, run by Drs Hywel Jones and Paul Bingham, aims to provide enhanced capability for the much needed delivery of ceramics and glass related consultancy, contract research and knowledge transfer projects (KTPs) by the University.
