Future Aerospace Structures Ground Vibration Testing
We are recruiting new Doctoral Researchers for our EPSRC-funded Doctoral Landscape Award (DLA) PhD studentships starting 1 October 2025. Read more
Developing methods to reduce the quasi-static pressures generated by explosions in confined spaces (C4-MAC-Barr)
When explosives detonate in a confined space, repeated reflections of the initial shockwave on the walls and other obstacles lead to the development of a long-term quasi-static pressure (QSP). Read more
Solid Mechanics (Electrochemo-mechanics) and Machine Learning
We are actively recruiting FULLY-FUNDED 2 Ph.D. students for solid mechanics of lithium-ion batteries. The length scale spans from atomic, molecular, and continuum levels (covering energy materials, electrode, cell, module, pack and electric vehicles). Read more
Investigation of non-thermal plasma for CO2 conversion in Space In-situ Resource Utilisation
Supervisory Team: Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). PhD Supervisor: Min Kwan Kim. Project description. Water, oxygen, and fuel are essential resources for future human missions to Mars, crucial for sustaining astronaut life and ensuring a safe return journey to Earth. Read more
Dry-coupled ultrasonic inspection of CFRP aerospace structures
Background. Ultrasonic testing is routinely employed for verification of the integrity of structural engineering components where it is used to detect the presence of defects within the volume of a structure. Read more
Machine Learning Enhanced Topology Optimisation of Fibre-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Background. Fibre-reinforced polymer composites (FRPC) are increasingly used in high-performance industries such as aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy due to their exceptional strength-to-weight and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Read more
Materials and design of wind turbines for preserving total product value through life sponsored by National Composites Centre (NCC)
Wind energy is a key enabler to a post-fossil fuel energy mix, however wind turbine blades themselves are large constructions of many materials, including glass fibre and carbon fibre composites, all requiring significant sums of energy and capital to produce. Read more
Optomechanical metasurfaces for quantum magnetometry
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton (https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more

Investigation of the potential of using magnetic reconnection as the method of acceleration within spacecraft propulsion
This PhD project will aim to investigate the potential of using magnetic reconnection within a plasma propulsion thruster for spacecraft. . Read more
Artificial Optical Nervous System
The aim of this project is to establish a new class of sensing system that is capable of mapping strain distribution at thousands of points using a single strand of optical fibre thinner than a human hair. 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
