This PhD project aims to develop scientifically robust safety strategies and engineering solutions to bridge key knowledge gaps in the safety of compressed gaseous hydrogen (CGH2) storage tanks reinforced with polymer composites. Read more
About the Project. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have demonstrated human-level capabilities in several challenging machine learning tasks including image classification, natural language processing and speech recognition. Read more
Supervisory Team: Chris Holmes, Pier Sazio, Nuria Garcia, Andrew Hector. Project description. Ensuring the safety of lithium batteries is a top priority in battery development. Read more
Composite materials (cement-based or polymeric-based) have been widely used for several decades for the construction or repair of the infrastructure or built environment. Read more
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Articulated joints make up much of the conventional robotic systems, however, the rigidity of these systems despite artificially enhanced safety through algorithms remains a safety concern owing to critical algorithmic limitations and failures. Read more
Applications are invited for a full-time EPSRC Industrial CASE (ICASE) PhD studentship for the project “Study of alloying additions on the extrusion of high-performance automotive aluminium alloys using advanced physical thermomechanical simulation”, at Brunel University London, starting in October 2025. Read more
This project will work to enable AI models for application in vehicles to handle cyber risks in real-time, ensuring safe and uninterrupted operation in critical situations. . Read more
Project ID. SS_12. Theme. Safety and Sustainability. Hydrogen is a zero-carbon alternative to natural gas and plays a key role in the UK government’s plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. Read more
Fire remains a major risk in nuclear power plants (NPPs). Fire safety research therefore plays an important role in developing fire simulation tools for risk assessments in nuclear facilities. Read more
