air transport PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 18 air transport PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Environmental sustainability challenges for the air transport industry

Aviation may be economically and socially sustainable but faces real environmental challenges. Globally, emissions from air travel need to be addressed in line with climate change advice from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Read more

AI to the rescue of climate change, modelling air quality for cleaner urban planning

  Research Group: Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group
Research Group. Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group. Proposed supervisory team. Dr Lakshmi Babu Saheer. Dr Javad Zarrin. Read more

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for Urban Air Quality Simulation and Management

This research project offers an exciting opportunity for individuals passionate about addressing the critical issue of urban air quality through cutting-edge computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques. Read more

Development of improved and targeted quantification of ammonia emissions

Introduction. Ammonia (NH. 3. ) has an ever-growing influence on air pollution in the UK and worldwide with numerous considerable impacts such as the formation of secondary particles (now the dominant contribution), nitrogen deposition and eutrophication. Read more

Reducing greenhouse gas and air pollutants emissions from hybrid vehicles

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This project is to investigate the co-benefits of cleaner fuels and novel exhaust aftertreatment systems on the mitigation of emissions from hybrid vehicles. Read more

Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows

Supervisory Team.   Dr Christina Vanderwel. Project description. Join our world-leading experimental fluid mechanics research group with this PhD studentship studying Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows. Read more

Separation and characterisation of wear flakes generated in rail-wheel interactions.

This project provides a new research activity within rail research at The University of Sheffield, and the resulting techniques will provide a method which can be utilised to drive forward other projects within the group, relating to wear mechanisms and material development. Read more

Numerical models for a new combustion era

Hydrogen will be, among the synthetic fuels, the preferable energy carrier able to address the spatial and temporal separation between energy production (renewable source) and consumption. Read more

Discovery of new sustainable permanent magnets for electric motors and generators

  Research Group: Condensed matter and materials physics
High-performance permanent magnets are needed for electric motors and generators which are essential for the decarbonisation of transport (land, sea and air) and energy generation (>25% of UK electricity comes from wind-turbines). Read more

CDT-QTE: Quantum topology optimisation for aerospace design

Supervisory Team. Prof Ali Elham. Project description. This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). Read more

Sustainable active materials for next-generation lithium-free batteries PhD

This research aims at discovery and development of novel active materials for next-generation lithium-free batteries. Net-zero economies require high-capacity batteries to enable clean transportation and store renewable energy. Read more
