rail PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 rail PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Federated Digital Twin for Decarbonising Transport Systems in the UK PhD

The UK's goal of achieving net-zero emissions in transport by 2050 poses a significant challenge related to interoperability, human-centred design, data management, and new business models. Read more

University of Reading PhD Opportunities

Our thriving and diverse community of researchers leads the way in understanding the issues that most concern the world today. Join us as a postgraduate researcher at Reading and we will support you at every stage, helping you to deliver research that counts. Read more

Human factors for digital transport operations

Transport control environments in rail, highways / cities and ports are now underpinned by a range of digital sensors, and an array of different inputs and outputs (eg CCTV, social media, direct feeds into in-vehicle control systems). Read more

PhD in Mechanical and Systems Engineering, PhD Project: Manufacturing of Lithium-ion Battery Electrodes

Are you interested to research how to make next generation rechargeable batteries? Rechargeable batteries are the key energy storage devices for electrification of transportation such as automotives, rail, and aviation, as well as stationary energy storage for electricity generated from renewable sources including wind and solar. Read more

Delivering Sustainable Energy Solutions to Ports

Ports are major sources of greenhouse gas emissions as they commonly move up to 10,000 containers a day from ship to road or rail transport and correspondingly in the reverse direction from land transport onto ships. Read more

Transition to high performance railway overhead power lines

Recently undertaken research at Sheffield has identified opportunities to reduce the cost and improve the reliability of rail electrification systems through improvements to materials and design of the pantograph to overhead line contact. Read more

Digital twin railway network

Research at Sheffield has been developing models of the railway network from a range of perspectives including smart-grid energy consumption, passenger satisfaction, and integration of rail with wider city and regional transport networks. Read more

Elastic wave propagation

We have built our world out of steel, concrete, and other stiff solids. How well these structures endure depends on the tension and strains they are under, which are closely related to the material’s elastic behaviour. Read more
