Dr Igor Golosnoy, Prof S Gabriel
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
The project aims to develop an effective computational code to simulate plasma behaviour in different situations and it is directly linked with latest industrial applications.
The EEE Research Group (Electronics and Computer Science, Faculty of Physical and Applied Sciences) invites applications for Research Doctoral Scholarships from well qualified UK or EU (due to funding restrictions) graduates in natural science or engineering.
A good undergraduate degree or (preferably) masters (1st class or 2:1 honours) in the physical sciences, aerospace or electrical engineering, applied mathematics is required. Strong theoretical and numerical analysis skills and proficiency in C++ / FORTRAN / MATLAB computer programming languages are required. Previous experience in finite differences and finite element analyses of transport and diffusion problems would be an advantage. Experience with plasma science is desirable.
Candidates will preferably have an interest in one or more of the following areas – plasma physics, numerical modelling of complex phenomena and manufacturing processes using finite differences and finite element techniques, analytical and computational studies of fluid dynamics, heat & mass transport and electromagnetic phenomena.
The potential candidates will be interviewed.
This is a multidisciplinary research project combining studies in Plasma Physics, Numerical Mathematics, Chemistry, Electrical Engineering and Materials Science. There are many applications of low temperature plasmas, ranging from materials processing (including modification of surfaces and the manufacture of semiconductor chips) to sterilization of bio-surfaces for medical applications and electric propulsion for space travel. Modelling or simulation of these low temperature plasmas can be extremely difficult. Currently no commercial or probably custom-built low temperature plasma simulation code which can cover the complete range of pressures and all sort of the complexities exists.
The aim of the PhD will be to start the development of such a code or perhaps a suite of codes that will meet these needs. The typical applications could be a hollow cathode thruster for spacecrafts or a fuel tank protection from the sparks associated with lightning strikes.

Funding Notes
Research Doctoral Scholarships are available for well qualified UK or EU graduates in Physics, Applied Mathematics or Engineering. The studentships are sponsored by EPSRC, the University of Southampton, Airbus UK, European Space Agency (ESA). The awards are normally for a period of three and a half years (subject to satisfactory progress) and include UK/EU tuition fees plus a bursary.
