Developing an intelligent framework for integrating energy-saving devices on coastal ships
Background. Coastal ships operate in complex environments that can significantly impact their performance, leading to increased energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Read more
PhD Scholarship in Offshore Wind Engineering, Civil & Structural Engineering/Mechanical Engineering/Software Engineering– PhD (Funded) Ref: 5351
Project Description. This PhD project aims to address key engineering and environmental challenges in the offshore wind sector. Successful candidates will contribute to pioneering research that supports the sustainable growth of offshore wind energy, both in the UK and globally. Read more
Faculty of Science URSA PhD Project: An AI all-weather look-out for autonomous marine navigation
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Acoustics, marine mammals and canyons: using underwater sound to monitor dynamic marine environments
Project Overview. Sound can be used to understand ocean biophony, geophony and anthropogenic processes and their interactions. Read more
Future marine vehicles: bioinspired solutions for energy efficiency, advanced operation and autonomous
Marine, Offshore and Subsea Technology (MOST) is an international recognised discipline in Newcastle with a successful track record delivering research projects powered by world leading research facilities, including the Emerson Cavitation Tunnel, the Princess Royal research vessel, the fully turbulent flow channel, the towing tank and the combined wind, wave and current tank. Read more
A zero-carbon hydrogen fuelled compression ignition engine for heavy-duty transport applications
Heavy-duty applications (e.g., long haul trucks, container/tanker/bulk carrier ships etc) are notoriously challenging to decarbonize. Read more
Advancing Marine Sensing with Novel Surface Plasmon Resonance Techniques for Ocean Monitoring
Supervisory Team. Dr Rand Ismaeel, Professor Dr Matt Mowlem. Ocean monitoring is a critical aspect of environmental preservation and human survival, as it directly impacts global climate change and the sustainable development of ocean resources. Read more
Turbulent encounters: Direct Numerical Simulation of a vertical submerged jet interacting with surface waves
Submerged jets play an important role in a number of environmental and industrial processes. Read more
Developing Hydrogen Storage Materials Using Advanced Manufacturing Methods
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
PhD in Design, Architecture, Technology and Engineering
Based on the south coast, an hour from London, the University of Brighton has built a reputation on research excellence and a dynamic, diverse and creative student community and the University of Brighton’s research responds directly to the most pressing global challenges, with impact at the heart of our ambitions and success. Read more
Embedded AI-Powered Marine Biodiversity Monitoring (Ref: CENTA2025-LU8)
This PhD project focuses on advancing computer vision and edge-AI technology for real-time marine monitoring. Read more
Digital twin model development for a solar panel system assisted marine vessel
The project focuses on developing a Digital Twin Model for a Solar Panel System Assisted Marine Vessel, representing a groundbreaking fusion of maritime technology, renewable energy, and digital modeling. Read more
Application of digital holography for marine science
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
ACCE+ DLA programme: How do glaciers influence the dynamics of metal-binding organic matter in the Arctic?
Background. This project represents an exciting collaboration with the Swiss GreenFjord project, which aims ‘to create process understanding of how climate change affects fjord ecosystems, and how this propagates to biodiversity and livelihoods.’. Read more
Developing Next-Generation Marine Sensors Using Intracavity Absorption Spectroscopy for Advanced Ocean Monitoring
Supervisory team. Dr Ran Ismaeel, Dr Matt Mowlem. Our oceans, covering 71% of the Earth’s surface, remain largely unexplored, yet they are critical to understanding global challenges like climate change and sustainable resource development. Read more
