fire safety PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 11 fire safety PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Fire Dynamics, Material Flammability and Computer Modelling of Fire Phenomena
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Fire dynamics and material flammability are important research areas within fire safety engineering (FSE) in identifying and understanding the mechanisms related to the degradation, ignition and burning of materials and subsequent the fire spread and development with the ultimate goal to improve fire safety (people and structure) in buildings and other spaces.

Development of novel engineering solutions for explosion free in any fire self-venting (TPRD-less) composite hydrogen storage tanks
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
This PhD project aims to develop scientifically robust safety strategies and engineering solutions to bridge key knowledge gaps in the safety of compressed gaseous hydrogen (CGH2) storage tanks reinforced with polymer composites. Read more
PhD Opportunity in Fire Engineering: Investigating Overpressure Events in Combustible Compartments
Applications are invited for two fully funded (four years maximum) PhD scholarships in the department of Civil and Natural Resources Engineering, to work on overpressure events in combustible compartment under the supervision of Dr Andres Valencia, Dr Aatif Khan and Emeritus Prof. Read more
Innovations in Assessing Fire Resistance: Collapse Mechanisms of Steel Structures (2nd prefence)
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The fire resistance of structures is a crucial element in modern engineering and plays a significant role in our built environment. Read more
CFD Study of Fires in Mechanically Ventilated Nuclear Compartments
Fire remains a major risk in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Fire safety research therefore plays an important role in developing fire simulation tools for risk assessments in nuclear facilities. Read more

Development of novel bio-derived fire-safe composites with recycled polymers in the transport industries (S3.5-MAC-McLaggan)
The automotive and rail industries are transitioning towards more sustainable materials with a strong focus on natural fibre composites. Read more
Modelling of transfer of heat and toxic chemicals through firefighters’ multilayer clothing
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
The increasingly adverse impact of toxic fire products on fire-fighters’ health and wellbeing are of a world-wide concern. The occurrence of cancer among the fire-fighters is alarmingly high in both developed and developing countries. Read more
Novel technology to control the fire and explosion hazards of hydrogen fuel
Safe pressure relief systems are essential to protect high pressure storage tanks in emergency situations. Read more
Numerical study of the explosion characteristics and potential mitigation measures of ammonia in air
The Internal Energy Agency (IEA) considers ammonia (NH3) key to decarbonising shipping. A new report from the IEA believes it will be ammonia, not methanol, that must play a major role if shipping is to meet its ambitious emissions reductions targets. Read more
Numerical Modelling of Hydrogen Explosions in semi-Confined Spaces
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Fluid Dynamics is now recruiting to this fantastic PhD opportunity in partnership with Sellafield Ltd. Read more
Initiation and propagation of combustion waves with competitive reactions
Ammonium Nitrate based emulsions are a basic component of many materials deliberately manufactured as explosives, and also of many other industrial chemicals, especially agricultural fertilizers, where the possibility of fire or explosion during the production, storage and transport processes is a major safety consideration.
