space PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 600 space PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Information-geometric statistical methodology for phylogenetic trees (RDF25/EE/MPEE/GARBA)
Understanding evolution lies at the heart of molecular biology, and is a fundamental challenge in science. The past few decades have seen huge advances in sequencing genetic material, and associated with this, computational methods for inferring evolutionary relationships from these data. Read more
Space Weather Priming: the missing link in prediction
Project overview. This project will answer the question. do the impacts of solar storms depend on previous space weather activity? Decades of data from powerful, advanced radars will be used to study how our space environment responds at different temporal and spatial scales to space weather storms. . Read more
Resilient Biomaterials for Space Architecture (IDRT25/HLS/SPA/SHERRY)
Research in the field of space architecture is exploring both deployable material systems and the potential for biotechnologies to grow materials for the construction of off world habitation. Read more
Development of a novel sensor for measuring electron energisation in space plasmas (STFC25/EE/MPEE/WICKS)
Applications are invited for a 3.5-year fully-funded PhD developing a novel electron and electric field sensor for satellites to use in space science research. Read more
Multi-static Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar imagery for recognition of space objects from space
We invite applications from a highly motivated individual to join research to develop multi-functional space borne radar capability for ISAR imagery of space objects from space. Read more
Space/Astrophysical plasma and space weather
The Astronomy Unit at the Queen Mary University of London is offering a PhD scholarship (3 years) for a UK home student on the topic of Machine Learning for Space Plasma and Space Weather. Read more
Development of a miniaturised Plug-and-Play Plasma Instrumentation for Small Satellites - “PLASMACube”
Supervisory Team: Dr. Taiwo Raphael Tejumola. Project description. Small satellites, particularly CubeSats, play an increasingly vital role in space missions, from Earth observation to deep space exploration, offering diverse stakeholders a broad spectrum of missions and application possibilities. Read more
Funded PhD - Urban green space as refuge for people and disease vectors under climate change: a double-edged sword
With heatwaves becoming increasingly frequent and intense under climate change, people are relying on urban green spaces as a refuge particularly as cities can be worse impacted by heat (the urban heat island effect). Read more

Artificial Intelligence-Enabled Free-Space Optics for Future Advanced Satellite Communications
Research Group:
Bradford-Renduchintala Centre for Space AI
Given their significant contribution to various aspects of modern life, satellite communications have become an essential part of our world today. Read more
Deep Learning Based Machine Vision for Space-Informed Applications
The increasing congestion of Earth's orbit with satellites and debris poses significant challenges in space activities, while sensors from space provide valuable data about the Earth to inform net zero. Read more
When blue spaces turn brown: understanding the influence of poor water quality on blue health (dis)benefits
Water environments, or blue spaces, such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and coastal waters are an important natural resource that support biodiversity, underpin food and energy production, supply drinking water, promote tourism and enable recreational opportunities. Read more
Advanced sensors for planetary missions & astrophysics
Co-Supervisors. Professor Nathalie Wheeler, Professor Radan Slavik. Read more
Superminiaturised sensor for space weather measurements
A novel energetic particle detector has been developed, using a small scintillator crystal to both count particles and determine their energy. Read more
Autonomous Reconfiguration, Deployment, and Management of Self-Aware Modular Space Robots
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Modular and dynamically reconfigurable space hardware systems are a high priority for research and development as they can significantly decrease development costs, facilitate multiple payloads, and enable indefinite lifetime extension for space missions. Read more
