Prof Richard Brown, Prof Paul Lewin
Applications accepted all year round
About the Project
A PhD studentship is available to work on a cross-disciplinary project to study the chemical origins of the mechanisms of failure in transformers, and to understand the effects of the addition of chemical passivators to transformer oils as a remedial strategy to reduce catastrophic failure. The project will be supervised by Professor Richard Brown in Chemistry and Professor Paul Lewin in ECS, and will involve aspects of organic, inorganic and analytical chemistry (surface and solution techniques). The project is sponsored by National Grid, and the successful applicant will work in Chemistry as part of a team with another PhD student based in ECS and a research fellow based in Chemistry. The project will require regular project meetings where the team will present their findings to the industrial partners. The successful candidate should have an upper degree in chemistry (first or upper second class) and have an interest in the application of chemical methods to problem solving.
Funding Notes
The studentship is available to start at any time from June 2012 to October 2012, and interested candidates should contact Professor Richard Brown ([Email Address Removed]) for further details.
