We have 45 Acoustics Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
Design and Optimization of piezoelectric MEMS microphone
Piezoelectric MEMS microphones have the advantages of eliminating the need for vacuum packaging, low power consumption, and simplicity of fabrication. Read more
Integration of multi-sensory technology solutions to use visual and acoustic sensor systems for wildlife and eco-system monitoring (Ref: FP-PL-2024/ CENTA2025-LU6)
Assessment of the ecological health of the UK’s wildlife and its complex interactions with a range of stimuli including agricultural practice, urbanisation, climate change effects, etc. Read more
Structural Health Monitoring Sensors for Extreme Environments
About the project. The University of Cincinnati has been developing a suite of ultrasonic sensors for structural health monitoring in extreme, typically high temperature (550°C+) environments. Read more
Early-stage detection and characterisation of hydrogen-induced defects using ultrasonic arrays for enhanced structural integrity assessment
The project. Motivation. The development of hydrogen energy technologies is central to the UK government's ten-point plan for a green industrial revolution, targeting a 40% reduction in gas consumption by 2030 and carbon-zero emissions by 2050. Read more
Ice detection and avoidance in uncrewed air vehicles
This project will develop novel methods to detect ice build-up in Uncrewed Air Vehicles and use this information to automate the vehicle response. . Read more
Vibration isolation design for optimum machine reliability
In this project you will use modelling and experimental methods to build an understanding of how vibration and shock mount design can influence machine bearing life. . Read more
Standards to specify damping and loss factor in joint connections through ultrasonic inspection techniques where temperature and humidity in real world conditions are important (Ref: AACME-24-032)
Finite element models are used to predict the vibration characteristics of aircraft and automotive vehicles. A large and complex model can be generated to determine the level of vibration which can be transmitted from one area to another. Read more
Low cost acoustic camera designs and algorithms for tracking swarms of drones / UAVs (Ref: AACME-24-033)
Tracking and detection methods for UAVs and drones typically involve human in the loop, with technology including long range radar, short range radar, cameras, infra-red camera, RF communication technology and acoustics. Read more
Information retrieval from room acoustic measurements
Acoustic measurements of rooms carry a lot of useful information regarding the room geometry, objects and furnishing, presence and movements of humans, and the atmospheric conditions and stability of the room environment. Read more
