PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Dynamics and Control of soft robots - developing realistic models and control schemes to shape the dynamics of electroactive polymers

Aberdeen University
School of Engineering

Dr S S Aphale, Dr K Nakkeeran

Applications accepted all year round

Dielectric elastomers are soft, muscle-like actuators that have seen a great uptake in robotics. The main reasons being the improved manoeuvrability and dexterity they provide.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Ultra-nonlinear epsilon-near-zero flat optics

Heriot-Watt University
School of Engineering & Physical Sciences

Prof M Ferrera

Application Deadline: 8 February 2019

Design and characterisation of different artificial materials for the design of ultra-fast tuneable photonics devices. Giant epsilon-near-zero nonlinearities are targeted to allow subwavelength manipulation of light in both classic and quantum regime.

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Non—invasive instrumentation development for particle accelerators on the basis of Cherenkov diffraction radiation

Royal Holloway, University of London
Department of Physics

Dr P Karataev

Application Deadline: 31 January 2019

Cherenkov diffraction radiation appears when a charged particle moves in the vicinity of and parallel to a dielectric interface. The intensity is proportional to the length of the radiator.

Hierarchically structured ferroelectric energy harvesting materials

University of Bath
Department of Mechanical Engineering

Dr H Khanbareh, Prof C R Bowen

Application Deadline: 14 January 2019

High-strain environment of automotive tyres provide deformation energy that can be harvested using piezoelectric materials for powering electronics such as Tyre Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS).

PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Novel high temperature capable electromagnetic materials for Rolls-Royce

University of Birmingham
School of Metallurgy & Materials

Prof J Binner

Applications accepted all year round

This project is funded by the UK’s Ministry of Defence and involves Rolls Royce and the University of Birmingham. It is a PhD studentship that is focused on developing new materials that both possess specific electromagnetic properties and are also capable of withstanding high temperatures.
