PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Xenoliths in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites as treasure troves of early Solar System history
Aims. This project will explore the dynamics and composition of our Solar System during its tumultuous birth ~4.5 billion years ago by studying fragments of highly primitive asteroids that are preserved as xenoliths in meteorites. Read more
Space Plasma Turbulence Throughout the Solar System and Beyond
The vast majority of the visible Universe is in a plasma state, and one of the most widespread behaviors observed in such plasmas is turbulence – the transfer of energy across a broad range of scales that leads to complex chaotic motions, structure formation, and energy conversion. Read more
PhD in Geographical and Earth Sciences - Tracking the evolution of C-complex asteroids using carbonates
Project aims. This project will explore the evolution of C-complex asteroids during the first few million years of Solar System history. Read more
Advanced Characterisation Methods for Tandem Solar Cells
Equity and Diversity at UNSW. “UNSW was one of the first cohort of research and higher education institutions in Australia to receive Bronze Athena Swan accreditation in 2018. Read more
Concentrating solar mirror for high temperature solar power
Supervisory Team. Gerald Muller. Project description. Solar power is a major component of the drive towards a CO2 free power generation. Read more
Space weather extremes and the acceleration of the Earth’s radiation belts
Title. Space weather extremes and the acceleration of the Earth’s radiation belts. Supervisors. Dr R. T. Desai (enquiries. ravindra.desai@warwick.ac.uk. Read more
EPSRC Supported EngD: ZERO CARBON – Solar forecasting and future sustainable power systems - (ENG 1618)
The contribution of PV energy to the electricity generation mix continues to grow. Installed capacity in the UK in 2020 was 13.4 GW and is expected to increase to 40 GW by 2030. Read more
A long-term variability study of young stars: Periodicity, hot spots, accretion and early evolution at the time of planet formation
Young stars are variable due to the processes happening on the star and its protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. The star-disk connection holds the clues to several open questions including rotational evolution, the origin of our Solar System and the feasibility of habitable planets. Read more
Making High Efficiency Flexible Solar Cells
Perovskite based solar cells have the advantages of highly efficient conversion of sunlight into electricity. However, at present there are challenges in making solar cells from these materials. Read more
Socio-techno-economic feasibility of floating bifacial (double-sided) solar photovoltaic panels
Research Group:
Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
Project Ref. JWS2023-MGUL. The project aims to investigate the potential of bifacial photovoltaics (PV) in floating PV plants. Floating PV are an emerging technology where a solar PV system is placed on a body of water and can be deployed as an alternative to land-based solar farms in areas where land is scarce. Read more
Enabling flexibility in low-carbon electricity systems
Our electricity system needs to continuously match supply to demand. To achieve real-time demand and supply balance, electricity must be transported from where it is generated to where it is needed. Read more
GREENCDT The potential to infer reactor-borne contributions to anthropogenic plutonium-239 in the environment from the 244Pu/239Pu ratio
The short half-life of the plutonium isotopes, relative to the age of the solar system, results in all primordial plutonium in the environment on Earth being anthropogenic. Read more
PV soiling – Design of sustainable cleaning system
Global warming is mainly due to the high growth in carbon emissions and pollution worldwide. At present, most countries have set carbon reduction goals. Read more
Design and development of water desalination plants for rural communities, driven by a hybrid solar-bioenergy system
Freshwater supplies are becoming increasingly stressed as demand increases. Desalination technologies are able to produce drinking water from abundant resources such as seawater. Read more
