Advanced Proprioception for Robotic Legs
Humans are complex mechanical systems of interconnected bodies with a high degree of freedom (DOF). Our inner structures/bodies have naturally evolved with advanced proprioception and control, enabling us to perform a wide range of actions/movements, such as running, walking, sitting, and jumping.

Improved reactor design and operation for the anaerobic digestion of biowastes
Anaerobic digestion is usually carried out in single semi-continuous reactors, especially due to their simpler construction and operation. Read more
Silicon Nano-opto-electro-mechanical (NOEM) qubits
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton (https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more
GW4+ DLTP PhD project: Experimental characterisation and numerical modelling of oxide ceramic composites for nuclear waste management

Design for functionally graded 3D printing
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
This project will investigate methods to design and develop functionally graded parts through 3D printed plastics. The primary focus will be on orthopaedic medical devices used to replace bone where current parts often fail due to stress discontinuities between implants and bone. Read more
Rolls-Royce sponsored PhD Scholarship, Design and Simulation of Stiffness-Adjustable Robotic Systems for Performing on-Wing Repair of Aero-Engines - (ENG 192)
Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD programme in partnership with industry to address key challenges in on-platform manufacturing engineering. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Computational modelling of electromechanical signalling in cells for the development of electroactive cytoskeletal gels
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
Enhancing the long-term performance of advanced engine materials by controlling microstructure
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
Design for environmental comfort school in classrooms for full inclusion of students with special and behavioural needs
Effective classroom design can significantly enhance the learning experience, support inclusivity, and ensure that all pupils have equitable access to education. Read more
PhD Studentship in Development of FEA models for estimating fatigue life of high performance running shoes
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Mechanics of Materials leading to the award of a PhD degree. The aim of this research is to develop FEA simulations that can answer the question of how long a running shoe will last. Read more
Mechanochemistry and the mechanical bond – sustainable methods for the synthesis of functional rotaxanes and catenanes
Background. Molecules are mechanically bonded if they are composed of two covalent subcomponents that are threaded through one another such that they can never separate even though there is no covalent bond between them. Read more
