Chemical Engineering (power systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 15 Chemical Engineering (power systems) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Harnessing waste-heat from challenging environments with flexible electronics, sponsored by BAE Systems

Supervisory Team. Dr Katrina Morgan, Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis, Prof Nick Harris, Prof Steve Beeby. Project description. This PhD is a sought after industrial Cooperative Award in Science and Techology (iCASE), with sponsorship from BAE Systems Ltd. Read more

Explainable AI for Safety Critical Engineering Systems

The University of York is at the forefront of transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI. Our pioneering work is revolutionizing the design of complex systems by harnessing the power of data. Read more

Hydrogen trapping and permeation in metallic and ceramic coatings for fusion powerplant applications

  Research Group: Coatings and Ceramics
Future fusion powerplants must maintain tritium inventory to ensure safe and sustainable plant operations. Structural materials in the breeder blanket and tritium extraction systems will be exposed to tritium and lithium. Read more

Detecting and Quantifying Hydrogen Isotopes in Nuclear Fusion Breeding Materials using Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy

Future fusion power reactors such as the UK’s STEP reactor, due to begin construction in the next 10 years, will require the tritium fuel to be generated (bred), extracted, separated, and regenerated into new fueling (either pellets or gas) prior to (re-)introduction into the fusion core. Read more

PhD in Mechanical and Systems Engineering: Manufacturing of the Next Generation All-Solid-State Lithium-Sulfur Batteries

Award summary. 100% home fees covered and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). International applicants are welcome to apply but will be required to cover the difference between Home and International fees. Read more

Renewable Energy and Energy Storage

Getting to 100% renewable energy requires a massive improvement in the performance of energy storage systems which can store vast amounts of energy for periods of days to weeks. Read more

Characterisation of High Shear Mixers for process Intensification

High shear mixers such as rotor-stators, ultrasonicators, and high-pressure jets, are used for dispersion processes during the manufacture of numerous high-value products. Read more

Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more

Ion irradiation of advanced nuclear fuels

Nuclear fission power currently accounts for 20% of UK energy production, making it a key low-carbon energy source for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting the governments New-Zero target by 2050. Read more
