PhD Studentship: Civil Engineering: SURES Funded PhD in Advanced AI-Designed Bio-Based Capsules for Self-Healing Asphalt at Swansea University PhD Studentship: Civil Engineering: SURES Funded PhD in Advanced AI-Designed Bio-Based Capsules for Self-Healing Asphalt - Aerospace Civil Electrical and Mechanical Engineering UK Students, International Students Climate change and advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping road design, as accelerated asphalt ageing driven by environmental and traffic changes leads to earlier cracking and increased pothole formation.
Traditional repair methods are often labour-intensive and resource-consuming, highlighting the need for advanced self-healing solutions to design more sustainable and durable asphalt roads. Bio-based capsules containing rejuvenating agents offer a promising strategy to extend pavement lifespan by autonomously repairing micro-cracks and mitigating early-stage pothole formation.
By integrating AI-enhanced computational design with experimental validation, these systems can be precisely optimised to deliver exceptionally durable, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable asphalt materials, with the potential to revolutionise road infrastructure maintenance.
This project aims to develop advanced bio-based capsules with rejuvenating agents, designed using AI-enhanced computational methods and experimentally validated, to establish a fundamental understanding of their structure–property relationships to promote adaptive self-healing asphalt. We will adopt a bottom-up methodology based on multiscale experimental testing, combined with a suite of AI-enhanced computational approaches.
These will include machine learning for property prediction, generative models for inverse design, and physics-informed neural networks (or Gaussian predictors) to integrate experimental data with physical constraints, enabling the design and optimisation of bio-based capsules for self-healing asphalt materials.

Supporting industry in the switch to sustainable and circular bio-based products and processes is sponsored by European Commission — Horizon Europe. Expected Outcome: Successful proposals will contribute to updated EU Bioeconomy Strategy, the Clean Industrial Deal, the European Chemical Industry Action Plan and the upcoming Circular Economy Act. Projects results are expected to contribute to the following expected outcomes: Identification of technical, market and regulatory barriers and possible solutions for industry to ‘switch to bio-based’. Contribution to filling the gap between bio-based sectors and the broader industrial landscape. Scope: While the share of bio-based products and processes in traditionally non-bio-based markets has been growing substantially in recent years, many non-bio-based, partially bio-based and more traditional bio-based industries (such as food industry) still perceive market and regulatory situations as uncertain and may therefore be reluctant to invest in new bio-based value chains. These uncertainties may relate to cost competition versus fossil-based counterparts, first-mover hesitation, lack of investment attractiveness, regulatory issues, uncertainties in feedstock quality and availability, lack of knowledge, shortage of relevant skills, etc.. Notwithstanding these challenges, industries recognise the opportunity of ‘switching to bio-based’ to improve their sustainability profile and meet consumers’ expectations. Proposals under this topic should: Perform a consultation among non-bio-based and partially bio-based industries to identify barriers preventing them to adopt/diversify bio-based feedstock and processes in their operations. Include at least 3 industrial sectors that are critical for the green transition. Make sure to include a representative sample of industries with different size (including SMEs and startups) and position in the value chain and covering regions with different specialisations. Analyse the outcomes from the consultation to identify barriers to bio-based transition and propose possible solutions. Validate the results with end users/consumers to include their perspectives. Identify case studies and success stories showcasing best practises leading to adoption of bio-based solutions and assess their replication potential in the non-bio-based and partially bio-based sectors in scope. Create a forum bringing together bio-based industries, feedstock providers, non-bio-based and partially bio-based industries, investors, policymakers, demand-side actors (e.g., large retailers, end-users, public procurers, etc.) as well as existing or upcoming stakeholders’ groups under the CBE JU, to facilitate the dialogue among the stakeholders and identify possible pathways for cooperation. Develop and publish sectoral and cross-sectoral roadmaps towards the ‘switch to bio-based’ for the (at least 3) targeted non-bio-based or partially bio-based industrial sectors, also identifying de-risking opportunities. In addition to the specific requirements applicable for the type of action, as described in section 2.2.3.1 of the CBE JU Annual Work Programme 2026 [1] , proposals under this topic should: : Ensure complementarities with past and ongoing R&I projects addressing similar challenges, including projects funded under Horizon 2020/Horizon Europe, BBI JU/CBE JU projects as well as COST actions.

The NIH Support for Research Excellence (SuRE) Award (R16) is a grant from the National Institutes of Health that strengthens research programs at institutions historically underrepresented in NIH funding. The program, administered by NIGMS and over a dozen other NIH institutes, supports faculty investigators conducting research relevant to NIH's biomedical and behavioral science mission. Eligible applicants must be at institutions meeting NIH's Institutional Development Award criteria or other designated eligibility requirements. The award is not intended for clinical trials and is designed to build sustainable research capacity at developing institutions.
The full ASPECT NOFO (DE-FOA-0003647) posted September 4, 2026, eleven days later than the Notice of Intent predicted. The real document splits $58 million across two topic areas with anticipated award counts of 0-7 and 0-3, a cost share that jumps from 20 percent to 50 percent mid-project, a mandatory five-page concept paper due October 9, and a university eligibility restriction that decides team structure before anyone writes a word.

A second health equity slate is planned for fall 2026. Here is what the portfolio structure reveals about how this funder decides, and how aging-services and behavioral health organizations should position.
