Hybrid Technologies for Battery Thermal Management Using Smart Materials
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with many advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, wide range of operating temperature, and low self-discharge rates. Read more
Personal Cooling Systems for enhanced thermal comfort and sleep quality (Ref: ABCE-AB1-24)
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
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
PhD in Thermal route optimization of predictive controls to improve BEV efficiency using AI & ML
Route information has significantly improved the optimization of hybrid vehicle propulsion by determining the most efficient power source for different parts of a journey. Read more
Exploring the Interplay of Computational Mechanics, Fluid Dynamics, and Thermal Analysis in Engineering Systems
Our research group in school of Engineering Technology and Design (ETD) at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU) focuses on cutting edge projects at intersection of computational mechanics, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), thermal analysis and fluid-structure interaction (FSI). Read more
Physics-based Multi-scale Modelling of Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing
Project Details. Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a promising alternative for designing multi-material parts for complex geometries in engineering applications; especially in the biomedical sector. Read more
Thermal Protection System For Rocket Nozzle
The thermal protection system (TPS) is a critical component of any rocket, responsible for protecting the vehicle and its payload from the extreme temperatures and heat loads encountered during flight. Read more
Investigation of non-thermal plasma for CO2 conversion in Space In-situ Resource Utilisation
Supervisory Team: Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). PhD Supervisor: Min Kwan Kim. Project description. Water, oxygen, and fuel are essential resources for future human missions to Mars, crucial for sustaining astronaut life and ensuring a safe return journey to Earth. Read more
Converting CO2 into Useful Products using Non-thermal Plasmas
CO2 should be converted to useful products rather than simply be captured. Non-thermal plasma reactors operating at ambient temperature can be used to convert CO. Read more
Thermal hydraulics modelling of low-pressure, light water-cooled Small Modular Reactors
The Low-Pressure Water Reactor (LPWR) is a 300MW(e) pool-type water-cooled Small Modular Reactor (SMR) design in which the nuclear core is located at the bottom of a deep underground shaft instead of inside a pressure vessel. Read more
Non-thermal plasma as a chemical reagent: elucidating mechanism and exploring NTP for pharmaceutically relevant electroreductive reactions
Chemistry depends on electrons, but we cannot yet fully control electrons to deliver precise reactivity. Controlled high-energy electron sources—such as non-thermal plasma (NTP)—could unlock new and selective chemical transformations, but little is known about these states of matter when mixed with reaction media.
