Scotland's leading electrospinning research group
e-mail:
Mission Statement
Our group's research focuses on fabricating nanostructured materials by electrospinning and further developing electrospinning technology to solve some of the biggest challenges of our century. Some of the nanomaterials fabricated in the NanoMaterials lab are used as electrode platforms, pharmaceuticals, scaffolds for tissue engineering, energy harvesters, biosensors, composites, skin substitutes.
Diversity Statement
Our group wholeheartedly pledges to oppose discrimination and hate through active allyship, continuous unlearning, learning, and listening. We will unceasingly improve all forms of inclusion and equity.
Open positions
Two PhD positions in the area of 3D printing and 3D bioprinting. Only self-funded students or students with scholarships can apply.
Self-funded post-doctoral applicants are also welcome to apply to the group. Outstanding applicants can also consider the following scholarships (just a few examples):
Newton International Fellowships
Sir Henry Wellcome Postdoctoral Fellowships
Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowships
China Scholarships Council/University of Edinburgh Scholarship
A full list of scholarships for post-doctoral researchers can be found here.

Teaching
Process Safety and Environmental Issues in Chemical Engineering
In this course, students cover contemporary safety and environmental concerns as they impinge on the practising engineer, the legal and regulatory background to engineering activity, to ensure safe operation of hazardous processes, and the procedures to be followed in seeking a license from the environmental protection agencies for the operation of processes involving prescribed substances. Generation, propagation and the fate of pollutants discharged to the air, to water and to the ground are discussed along with means of mitigating emissions by elimination, substitution and pre-discharge treatment are considered. Methods of identifying process hazards are introduced leading to risk assessment and consequence analysis using hand calculation methods are presented to allow risk assessment and its application to the process industries to be appreciated.
This course discusses the synthesis, characterisation and application of nanomaterials used in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering. The course is open to 4th and 5th year students, plus PhD students are also welcome.
Nanomaterials in Chemical and Biomedical Engineering
Study Projects
In this course, 4th year undergraduate chemical engineering students write a literature review on a topic given by the academic supervisor. The academic supervisor teaches the students on writing literature reviews and often these reviews are published in international peer-reviewed journals. See examples under the 'Publications' part.
