CFD Study of Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
Wind turbine is the main technology that converts wind energy to electricity. The interaction between air flow and the turbine blade are critical to the structure integrity and noise generation of the turbine. Read more
CFD modelling and advanced burner designs
A substantial amount of current activity on oxyfuel combustion capture is still at the conceptual design stage, encompassing a broad range of fuels and power systems, including the development of alternative system configurations that maximize overall efficiency and minimize estimated capital and operating costs. Read more
Carbon capture from gas turbines
Natural gas is seen as cleaner than other fossil fuels and will continue to have an essential role in the energy mix of the future, particularly in the UK. Read more
The Spatial Poetics of Objects: A digital enquiry into domestic objects in museum collections
This project will research items held within museum collections, and identified as being made by or belonging to women, and explore ways digital tools - such as digital replication, immersive experience, linked open data, multisensory engagement, AI assisted metadata enhancement, folksonomies - can be used to reinscribe original authorship or ownership. Read more
Boundaries of gender: ‘petticoat governments’ and secondary voices in nineteenth century European expeditions of Africa
This project will use a variety of digital methods to identify the many women, both European and African, who assisted and enabled David Livingstone (1813-1873) in his journeys across the African continent. Read more
Machine Learning Methods for Autonomous Robot Navigation, Localisation and Pipe Inspection
The research aims to develop the next generation of autonomous robots that are able to inspect pipe networks. A single robot and a swarm of robots have the task to inspect underground sewer and clean water pipe networks. Read more
Digital profiling of head and neck cancers
Head and neck cancer (HNC) is a heterogeneous group of cancers, amongst which oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is the most common type. Read more
Forecasting disease progression using cardiovascular digital twins
We are seeking applications for a PhD studentship starting in September 2025 to work on digital twins for patients with pulmonary hypertension. Read more
EPSRC iCASE - Revitalizing Groundwater Risk Models: Integrating NSZD into CoronaScreen for Sustainable Solutions
The University of Sheffield, funded by EPSRC and in collaboration with Shell, is offering a fully funded 4-year PhD studentship through the EPSRC Industrial Doctorate Landscape Award (IDLA). Read more
Advanced Control Methods for Flexible Structures
The need for precise control of flexible structures is more critical than ever. Whether it’s reducing the weight of next-generation aircraft, ensuring the stability of towering skyscrapers, or improving the energy efficiency of mechanical systems, advanced control methods are at the heart of these challenges. Read more
Control of Partial Differential Equations
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) govern a vast array of real-world phenomena, from the stability of fusion reactors and the dynamics of oil drill strings to the behaviour of quantum systems and the flow of traffic. Read more
Harnessing the Power of Time Delays in Dynamical Systems
Time delays are often seen as a source of frustration — missed connections due to delayed flights, disrupted online gaming due to communication lags, or instability of dynamical systems due to tiny control loop delays. Read more
Enhancing Safety and Resilience in Emerging Technologies for the Net Zero Energy Transition
The net zero energy transition is driving the rapid adoption of novel technologies and processes, many of which are characterized by low Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) and a lack of operational history. Read more
Next generation processing methods for lithium-ion batteries
This is an exciting opportunity to revolutionise the manufacture of energy storage devices, and play an important role in designing low-carbon energy solutions for the future. . Read more
Next generation modelling for the pharmaceutical industry
We have an outstanding opportunity to make an impact in pharmaceutical manufacturing research, by conducting innovative modelling of particulate processes for the pharmaceutical industry. Read more
