Digital technologies for Resilient and Sustainable Infrastructures
The PhD student will work closely with our industrial partners to develop innovative digital tools and methodologies for improving the resilience and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Read more
Design and manufacturing of mechanical metamaterial
Supervisory Team. Dr Susmita Naskar, Dr Tanmoy Mukhopadhyay. Project description. Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials that have unique geometries and structures giving rise to interesting physical properties. Read more
Distinct Element Modelling of masonry structures
A large number of residential and historical structures in the UK and around the world are made of masonry. Due to the low tensile strength and brittle response of these materials, as well as their deterioration (due to aging), masonry structures are particularly vulnerable to natural and man-made hazards.

Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence-Generated Noise using High-Fidelity CFD
Applications are invited for a 4-year UK PhD studentship for the project titled “Data-Driven Analysis for Reducing Turbulence Noise using High-Fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)” in the group of Dr Zhong-Nan Wang at the University of Birmingham. Read more
Artificial intelligence based assessment of safety and ageing of existing masonry structures
We aim to revolutionize the safety assessment of deteriorated and aged existing masonry structures. The current procedure for this is based on visual inspection and limited localized non-destructive or semi-destructive testing techniques. Read more
Digital Twin Prototype for Vehicle Structural and Crashworthiness Design
Supervisors. Principal supervisor. Dr Charles Loo (XJTLU). Co-supervisor. Dr Li Huang (JITRI). Co-supervisor. Professor Weijian Han (JITRI). Read more
Integrated computational materials engineering methodology development for customization of bone cement
Supervisors. Principal supervisor. Dr Engui Liu (XJTLU). Co-supervisor. Dr Weijian Han (JITRI). Co-supervisor. Dr Shiyao Huang (JITRI). Read more
Spatial variations of the urban boundary layer – what are the feedbacks from anthropogenic heat fluxes?
The next generation of weather models will have high resolution sub-km modelling. These will be used to inform critical decisions about how cities operate day-to-day into the future. At this scale, the different neighbourhoods of a city can be distinguished. Read more
Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC)-based sensor platforms for remote monitoring of a wide range of environments
Supervisory Team. Yannis Ieropoulos, Yue Zhang. Project description. This PhD is will investigate a novel approach for the monitoring and sensing of essential nutrients and other analytes in a wide range of environments by the deployment of 'living sensors'. Read more
Resilient and sustainable steel-framed building structures
Supervisory Team. Dr Sheida Afshan. Project description. Read more
Mechanics of Advanced Materials
The properties of artificial materials can be designed to exhibit extraordinary properties by cleverly engineering their composition. Read more
Effects of Coastal Change in the selection of a Geological Disposal Facility
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London. Supervisor(s). Dr Ioannis Karmpadakis (IC) and Dr James Lawrence (IC). Read more
Effect of ground water composition on the design of a nuclear waste disposal facility
Supervision. Prof. Lidija Zdravkovic (ICL), Prof. David M. Potts (ICL), Dr Jon Harrington (BGS). Funding. EPSRC CDT in Nuclear Energy Futures and Nuclear Waste Services (NWS). Read more
AI approaches and automatic uncertainty for robust, reliable, and trustful digital twin: application to sustainable critical infrastructure and systems
Motivation. Digital twins are virtual life replica of components and systems and they are becoming increasingly popular tools to predict, monitor and control the behaviour of complex systems. Read more
