Innovative Additive Manufactured Designs of Multi-Functional High Performance Active/Non-Active Parts in Traction Electrical Machines
In electric vehicle motors, the most critical temperature-rise occur in the winding (active) of the electrical machines. Read more
Integrating uncertainty about environmental impacts into design of future transport systems using life cycle assessment
Transportation is in transition, with new technologies such as electric vehicles, fuel cells, and hydrogen. Read more
Economic and Computational Aspects of Smart Transportation Systems
Traffic congestion in the main roads and junctions of our cities is a world-wide problem incurring huge financial losses to the global economy as well as other negative environmental and health effects. Read more
The role of epistemic emotions in the adoption of new transportation technologies (e.g., e-bikes)
To what extent do epistemic emotions (e.g., awe, curiosity, surprise, confusion) account for people’s willingness to adopt e-bikes? This psychology project will track people who try a pedal assist e-bike for the first time (e.g., test-ride in a bike shop or a govt. Read more
Alkali Metal Halide Supported Alkali Metals as Gas Purification Agents
Gas purification gives access to gas feedstocks for uses such as industrial processes, transportation fuels, and cryogenics. Perhaps of greater daily impact is the importance of gas purification in the remediation of waste gases from e.g., internal combustion or semiconductor manufacture. Read more
Novel foundation strategies for electric road systems
In 2030 to reduce carbon emissions, the UK government plans to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars followed by a phase out of new diesel trucks with an outright ban in 2040. Read more
Physics-based and Data-driven Modelling of Lithium-ion Battery Degradation
Lithium-ion batteries are deployed in a wide range of applications due to their low and falling costs, high energy densities and long lifetimes. Read more
Sun + CO2: a match to drive a more sustainable future
The continuous rise of CO. 2. levels in the atmosphere is one of the most severe challenges that humanity is facing. CO. 2. emission is a significant cause of global warming, and it has been identified as a national climate emergency by the UK Government. Read more

Simply the best? Rapid AI-driven screening of porous materials for hydrogen purification and low carbon fuels
Nanoporous materials used in adsorption applications play an important role in hydrogen purification and the storage and processing of low carbon fuels. Read more
Innovation in Ultrathin Layer Manufacturing: Electrospraying for SOFC Electrolyte/Electrode Energy Converters
Thin ceramic films are hard to manufacture, but very important in energy conversion. Electrospraying (ES) is a versatile technique which has been used to dry, crystallize, and fabricate ultrathin layers of various materials. Read more
Development of manufacturing methods for scale up of novel structural battery architectures.
Current structural batteries research, as part of ongoing AAPS/GKN PhD projects, has identified that current state of the art carbon fibre structural battery architectures need to be revised as using a layered approach places too much physical distance between anode and cathode which slows ion transfer and reduces battery performance.
