We have 594 ukri PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Simulating sustainable packaging

The University of Manchester

Department of Mathematics

This project focuses on developing advanced simulation techniques to optimise the sustainable packaging of granular and complex fluid materials through virtual prototyping. Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Thornton

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Calibration methodologies for industrial/geophysics granular materials

The University of Manchester

Department of Mathematics

This PhD project addresses the "calibration problem" in particulate continuum models and particle simulations. Specifically, it focuses on developing robust methodologies for selecting and parameterising contact models, a crucial but challenging task due to the lack of standardised measurement techniques.
