Prof Chris Bowen  Applications accepted all year round  Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath to work with Professor Chris Bowen, who has been awarded an European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Fellowship in Novel Energy Materials: Engineering Science and Integrated Systems (NEMESIS).

Start date: Oct 2014, Jan 2015
Number of fully-funded opportunities: one.


NEMESIS aims to create new piezolectric and ferroelectric energy harvesting systems capable of converting:
mechanical vibrations into electrical energy,
thermal fluctuations into electrical energy,
sunlight into chemical and electrical energy,
vibrations into chemical energy.

Funding Notes

Funding: Standard stipend and Home/EU fees for three years.

Applicants should have a degree in engineering, materials, physics, chemistry or a related area and be able to demonstrate understanding of materials, smart structures or energy harvesting systems at experimental or modelling level.
