Computational Modelling of Intracranial Haemorrhage and Traumatic Brain Injuries
Traumatic Intracranial Haemorrhage (ICH), or brain bleeding, is a critical and life-threatening medical emergency often caused by traumatic brain injuries (TBI) from incidents such as falls or head collisions. Read more
Detecting gravity anomalies in asteroids: application to Hera's radio science
BACKGROUND. An accurate estimation of the density distribution of asteroids is of great interest for both planetary science and defense. Read more
Wearable Machine Learning Enabled RF Sensors for Measuring Human Hydration
Supervisory Team: Suan Hui Pu. Project description. Dehydration in humans can lead to severe health consequences if left untreated. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim of project. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Read more
Novel flexible photonic based sensors for health monitoring of composite structures
A radical redesign of optical fibre architecture has enabled a new in-situ measurement paradigm that elicits quantitative assessment of through-thickness strains in laminated composite structures during manufacture and service. Read more
Improved design and damage tolerance of lightweight composite sandwich structures
The key design drivers for the adoption of sandwich structures include high specific stiffness and strength, damping, thermal insulation and excellent fatigue properties by adopting particular constituents and tailored geometric layouts. Read more
Repeated impacts on composite aero-structures (sponsored by Rolls-Royce)
Aerospace composite components are subject to a multitude of seemingly minor impact threats, for example due to ice shedding or hailstones. Read more
Application of Artificial Intelligence in Life Cycle Assessment of Composites Manufacturing (sponsored by the National Composites Centre)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology increasingly used in industry for assessing the environmental impact associated with all life cycle stages of a product, process or service. Read more
Development of a miniaturised Plug-and-Play Plasma Instrumentation for Small Satellites - “PLASMACube”
Supervisory Team: Dr. Taiwo Raphael Tejumola. Project description. Small satellites, particularly CubeSats, play an increasingly vital role in space missions, from Earth observation to deep space exploration, offering diverse stakeholders a broad spectrum of missions and application possibilities. Read more
Transition modelling for improved correlation between wind tunnel tests and CFD
Supervisory Team: Dr. David Angland & Dr Zhiwei Hu. Project description. A PhD studentship is now available in transition modelling and predicting for bluff body flows. Read more
High-resolution multi-physics topology optimisation
Supervisory Team: Prof. Ali Elham. Project description. Topology optimisation is one of the most powerful engineering design technologies. Read more
