We have 18 Mechanical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Bradford
Waste Hydrogen Explosion Management in Decommissioning Nuclear Facilities
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
The long-term storage of spent fuel, raw waste, final products and decommissioning provide scenarios across the NDA estate where hydrogen is a significant concern. Read more
Multi-scale corrosion assessment of additively remanufactured metallic components
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
This PhD will investigate the corrosion behaviour of additively remanufactured stainless steel in collaboration with Sulzer. Read more
Towards sustainable desalination by minimizing greenhouse gas emissions
Research Group:
Advanced Materials Engineering
Climate change and population growth pose a threat to water security worldwide. Sea water desalination is traditionally a promising technology to provide fresh water. Read more
Development of decellularised rectus sheath fascia (dCELL-RSF) for the repair of abdominal wall defects
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
The R&D team at NHS Blood and Transplant (NHS-BT) in conjunction with the Department of Surgery at Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge have expressed the need for a decellularised rectus sheath fascia (dCELL-RSF) for the repair of abdominal wall defects. Read more
Translating the chemical cross-talk between plants and root symbionts through application of novel microfluidics devices
Plants associate with multiple symbionts. Some, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), can offer important nutritional benefits to their host whereas others, e.g. Read more

EPSRC CDT in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0, with the Henry Royce Institute
Right now, our society faces huge, urgent challenges. From the imperative to achieve net-zero, to the need to build a resilient, circular economy in an uncertain world, to the drive for increased productivity as our fellow nations embrace the digital revolution. Read more
Closing the Healthcare Gap – Understanding the Mechanics of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction in Women
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Pelvic floor dysfunction is a distressing condition that affects millions of women globally, often causing pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, with a significant impact on daily life and well-being. Read more
Modelling of battery slurry mixing using coupled continuum-discrete methods
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Electrode slurry mixing is a critical step that irreversibly influences the subsequent steps in battery manufacturing. The process by nature is a complex phenomenon due to interplay between material constituents (containing both discrete phases and continuum medium) and process conditions (mixing speed and temperature). Read more
Development of interfacial wax micro-morphology in plants and their interaction with micro-scale liquid droplets
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
The cuticle of plant leaf, functionalised by a hydrophobic micro-structured layer of wax, is a complex composite material that regulates interactions with natural and synthetic fluidic resources. Read more
Intelligent Brake Systems for Electric Vehicles: Predictive Modelling and Control of Friction Brake Squeal Using Redundant Actuation Systems
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Brake noise reduction, especially squeal, indirectly supports EU’s Euro 7 standard goals by minimising brake wear emissions. This project aims to enhance vehicle noise standards and address the amplified impact of brake squeal in electric vehicles, where the absence of engine noise makes brake-related sounds more prominent and disruptive. Read more
Ionic Liquid Greases for Tribological Systems in Extreme Conditions
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Engineering systems that need lubrication under high temperature environments use a type of greases containing perfluoropolyether (PFPE). Read more
Integrating Morphology and Biomechanics: Developing a Statistical Shape and Appearance Model (SSAM) for Spinal Health Assessment and Intervention Plan
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
Back pain, the leading cause of disability in the UK, is often due to intervertebral disc degeneration. Surgical interventions, including fixation devices, frequently fail due to a lack of consideration for patient-specific variability in vertebral shape, spinal curvature, and bone density. Read more
Machine Learning-Augmented Distributed Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Navigation in Confined Spaces
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
In the UK, much of the infrastructure, including tunnels, railways, bridges, mines, and pipelines, has been in service for over a century. Read more
Developing 3D-printed Ti-based-implants for enhanced bone remodelling: FEA and in vitro
One fully funded Frederick E Hopper full-time PhD scholarship is available in the School of Dentistry for a start in October 2025. Read more
