Multiscale optimisation of aperiodic lattice metamaterials for spatially-programmable printed structures

The University of Manchester

Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering

The design of next-generation engineering materials is undergoing a paradigm shift, driven by advances in additive manufacturing and computational design. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Imediegwu

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

AI for Building Energy Management and Abnormal Detection

Nanyang Technological University

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

In this project, the student is to utilize AI techniques for building energy management (mainly cooling energy), to estimate the system efficiency, and in addition to detect abnormal in the system, which can be used for earlier fault detection. Read more

Supervisor: Prof C.Yuen Chau

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Designing highly dispersed metal catalysts for catalytic CO2 conversion

The University of Manchester

Department of Materials

Single atom catalysts have emerged as a novel class of catalysts that can exhibit optimal metal utilization, with all metal atoms being exposed to reactants and available for catalytic reactions. Read more

Self-Maintenance Robot for Long-Term Autonomous Operation in Extreme Environments (Ref: SF-RR-2027)

Loughborough University

Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering

This PhD project will develop an intelligent self-maintenance robot that enables itself to monitor its own health, diagnose failure modes, decide when and how to intervene, perform autonomous repair strategies and verify functional recovery. Read more

Supervisors: Prof R Roy, Dr E Sun

1 November 2027 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Developing a multistep process for direct production of Sustainable Aviation Fuel grade hydrocarbons in a single reactor (Ref: SF-SC-2027)

Loughborough University

Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering

The need to mitigate climate change requires drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. However, sectors like aviation are hard-to-abate and thus, there is need for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) that does not compromise existing safety standards while reducing the environmental impact. Read more

Supervisor: Prof S Calnan

1 November 2027 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Electrical sensing of dynamic cardiovascular volume in a benchtop model (FITZPATRICKD_U26EMP)

University of East Anglia

23 November 2026 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Single turbine scale quantification of wake turbulence (Ref: AURA27-CK)

Loughborough University

Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering

To maximise the power output from a wind farm, we need to understand how the wake generated by a single turbine behaves, as this will be responsible for reducing the power output from turbines downwind. Read more

Supervisors: Prof C Keylock, Dr Y Li

15 January 2027 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Large-scale wind farm-atmosphere coupling: Reduced-order modelling and large-eddy simulation (Ref: AURA27-TH)

Loughborough University

Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering

Offshore wind farms are getting bigger, with some now generating gigawatts of power across hundreds of turbines. At this scale, a wind farm doesn't just capture energy from the wind; it changes the wind itself. Read more
