We have 26 proton PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Development and evaluation of novel materials for proton-conducting ceramic electrolysers
Protonic ceramics represent an emergent class of materials that have potential utility in several intermediate-temperature electrochemical applications, including the production of “green” hydrogen. Read more
Development of Advanced Anode Materials for Proton-based Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Project description. This aim of this project is to develop a next generation hydrogen production technology, proton-based solid oxide electrolysis cell, that can effectively support the rapid growth of intermittent renewable energy generated from solar and wind sources. Read more
Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Novel gas diffusion layers and catalyst supports for proton exchange membrane fuel cells
Fuel cells have been considered as one of the promising technologies for the next generation energy production systems, because of their high energy efficiency and low pollutant emission. Read more

The ALICE experiment at the CERN LHC
ALICE is one of the four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. It is a general purpose heavy-ion experiment aimed at studying QCD under extreme conditions of energy density. Read more
Advanced Microstructure Characterisation of Fusion Structural Materials subject to Simultaneous Creep and Irradiation
Project Description. Engineering assurance for the UK Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production (STEP) presents a materials challenge, but also opens many opportunities to better exploit recent progress in advanced characterisation and modelling tools. Read more
Novel Superprotonic Materials for Hydrogen Technologies
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
Development of novel statistical methods and application to searches for New Physics using the ATLAS detector at the LHC
The long-established RHUL ATLAS group has extensive expertise in physics (Higgs, top quark and exotic signatures involving electrons), statistical methods, as well as trigger and data acquisition systems. Read more
Nanocellulose as a Sustainable Electrolyte for Electrochemical Energy Conversion
The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis (PEMWE) can convert renewable energy into green hydrogen, whilst polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) convert hydrogen into electrical power. Read more
Searching for Higgs Boson Pair Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC
It's possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Read more
Understanding in-reactor formed oxides on cladding material by X-ray diffraction analysis
We are a large, international research community, based within the landmark Henry Royce Institute for Advanced Materials at the University of Manchester, and with partners across the UK, Europe, N. Read more
Understanding the influence of the composition and microstructure of Cr based PVD coatings on the performance of coated claddings
The Zr group is a large welcoming team of researchers that focus on tackling industrially significant issues with regards to nuclear power. Read more
Thermal Management for Future Aerospace Propulsion
Context. Global targets to cut carbon-dioxide emissions by 2050 are pushing forward the development of sustainable aircraft. If action is not taken, the annual atmospheric CO. Read more
Antimatter Chemistry: computational studies of matter-antimatter interactions
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
