We have 71 Aerospace Engineering (energy engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Machine Learning Methods for Enhancing Autonomy of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Wildfire Detection and Localisation (C4-ELE-Mihaylova)
This research project focuses on the development of methods for intelligent wildfire detection and localisation using swarms of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Read more
Next generation manufacturing of sustainable composite materials using internal forced convection processing (S3.5-MAC-Maguire)
Challenge . Composites play an important role in lowering carbon emissions by lightweighting components and structures in several industries. Read more
Power Electronics for the Next generation of Integrated Motor Drives (C3.5-ELE-Griffo)
Nearly half of the global electrical energy production is currently consumed by electric motors, a figure expected to rise significantly as electrification in almost all transportation and industrial sectors quickly grows to meet CO2 reduction targets. Read more
Development of ignition systems for energy systems
There have been consistent efforts in developing more fast and efficient combustion. Microwave discharges are widely used for plasma-assisted ignition of air/fuel mixtures. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Use of Machine Learning for the Efficient Design of Resilient Floating Offshore Wind System
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
Vibration data and underlying physics for adaptive structural health monitoring
In the context of long-term monitoring applications, there are numerous structural states that exhibit similar behavior but cannot be generalized with a single model (whether data- or physics-based) due to the inherent time-variant nature of structural evolution. Read more
Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Model-based Approach for Prognostics Health Management (PHM) for Fusion Reactors
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
The University of York is at the forefront of transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, bringing about a revolution in the design and operation of systems. Read more
[FSE Bicentenary PhD] Mechanics and physics of materials with complex internal structures
The transition to a carbon neutral society demands new materials’ systems in key engineering applications, from metallic alloys that can withstand the challenging… Read more
Ultra-efficient production lines for expanding wind capacity sponsored by National Composites Centre (NCC)
If the forecasts and projections are to be believed, using current methods, it will not be possible to produce wind turbines in the quantities required by 2030. Read more
Nonlinear ultrasonic imaging for closed cracks
Research Group:
ISVR: Dynamics Group
Closed cracks are challenging material defects where the two split faces touch, making them extremely difficult to detect. This project aspires to create new methods for ultrasonic imaging of complex cracks through experiments, modelling and advanced imaging development. Read more
Machine Learning models for subgrid scales in turbulent reacting flows
Research Group:
Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
This PhD project advances deep learning for turbulence modeling in combustion. Using CNNs and GANs, it tackles challenges in data demands and generalization. Read more
Data-driven modelling and analysis of ammonia spray combustion for net-zero transitions (Ref: AACME-24-008)
Achieving carbon neutrality is essential in combating global warming. The UK’s 2050 net-zero target and the Paris Agreement highlight the urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to non-carbon alternatives, especially for heavy-duty and marine sectors where battery technology has limited feasibility. Read more
University of Bath URSA project: Aeroelastic tailoring of Variable Speed eVTOL Rotor Blades for Resonant Operation
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the University of Bath URSA competition, for entry in September 2025. Read more
New approaches to modelling compressible boundary layer flows (Ref: ABCE-CK1-24)
