Behind-the-Meter Generation Forecasting for Grid Visibility
Northern Ireland’s ambitious objective, as outlined in the Energy Strategy and the Climate Change Act, of generating 80% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, brings massive opportunities and challenges. Read more
Identification of radiation belt drivers
The Van Allen radiation belts are comprised of energetic particles moving at relativistic velocities that are trapped by the Earth’s magnetic field. Read more
Stochastic modelling of frequency fluctuations in power grids of the future
The School of Mathematical Sciences of Queen Mary University of London invite applications for a PhD project commencing in September 2025. Read more
Understanding Astrophysical Particle Acceleration using the Sun
Particle acceleration and transport are fundamental physical processes that occur over a plethora of astrophysical objects including planetary magnetospheres… Read more
Satellite assessment of coastal hazards: compound effects of wind, waves and sea level on the England South Coast.
This PhD is being advertised as part of the Centre for Doctoral Training for Resilient Flood Futures (FLOOD-CDT). Further details about FLOOD-CDT can be seen here https://flood-cdt.ac.uk/. Read more
Future marine vehicles: bioinspired solutions for energy efficiency, advanced operation and autonomous
Marine, Offshore and Subsea Technology (MOST) is an international recognised discipline in Newcastle with a successful track record delivering research projects powered by world leading research facilities, including the Emerson Cavitation Tunnel, the Princess Royal research vessel, the fully turbulent flow channel, the towing tank and the combined wind, wave and current tank.

Simulation-Based Tool Development for Optimizing Robotics and Maintenance Strategies in Tritium Breeding Blankets for Fusion Reactors
This studentship is offered by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Net Zero (RAINZ CDT) which is a partnership between three of the UKs leading universities (University of Manchester, University of Glasgow and University of Oxford). Read more
Blockage effects on tidal turbines
Tidal Turbines (underwater wind turbines) are able to operate close together and this can increase power capture. To get it to work well we need to understand many different aspects of device design and operating environment. Read more
PhD Studentship in Aeronautics: Aerodynamic theory of ultra-efficient aircraft rotors (AE0063)
The net-zero emission goals set recently for the aviation sector by the UK and EU call for radically new aerodynamic ideas which are able to transform the aviation industry. Read more
Building resilient offshore infrastructure: centrifuge modelling of submarine landslides (C3.5-MAC-Leonardi)
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
A new view of the ionosphere of Uranus (STFC25/ EE/MPEE/MELIN)
Uranus is strange planet. It rotates on its side, producing extreme seasons and has a magnetic field that is heavily tilted. Located in the outer reaches of the Solar System, far from the Sun, it is a vibrant and unique system, and it remains poorly understood. Read more
Smart Robotic Systems for Autonomous Inspection – Enhancing Data Collection and Analysis
This studentship is offered by the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence for Net Zero (RAINZ CDT) which is a partnership between three of the UKs leading universities (University of Manchester, University of Glasgow and University of Oxford). Read more
