Engineering (earth sciences) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 33 Engineering (earth sciences) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Development of a Wireless Sensor for Measuring Water Storage in Glaciers

PROJECT OVERVIEW. An exciting opportunity to develop a new instrument to study water storage in glaciers. You should have either a background in engineering or environmental science, but with a keen enthusiasm to design, build and field-test an instrument that will need to work in a harsh environment. Read more

Studying Glacier Hydrology using new Wireless Instruments

PROJECT BACKGROUND. Are you keen to pursue a research career in glaciology? We have a rare opportunity for a fully-funded studentship with flexibility to define your own research project. Read more

Quantifying Discretisation Error in Climate Models

A significant challenge in climate models is discretisation error. even on cutting-edge hardware it is impossible to use fine enough discretisations to resolve underlying physics, which can have a significant impact on modelling results. Read more

PhD programmes at the University of Pavia, Italy

Our PhD programmes cover a wide range of topics and are organized into three disciplinary groups. Science and Technology, Life Science, Human and Social Science. Read more

Concept Mission Design for Hex-Sats to detect biological agents from VLEO

Supervisory Team:  Dr Alexander Wittig, Dr Minkwan Kim. Project description. In this PhD, we will develop a complete mission concept for satellites to detect the release of biological agents on the ground through constant monitoring from space. Read more

Automated experimental functional materials discovery for net zero technologies

The discovery of materials that will drive technologies for the net zero transition, such as batteries, solar absorbers, rare-earth-free magnets for wind power and myriad other unmet needs, is a scientific and societal grand challenge that requires experimental realisation of materials in the laboratory. Read more

Artificial Optical Nervous System

Supervisory Team: Ali Masoudi & Gilberto Brambilla. Project description. The study of the mechanical properties of any large, complex structures such as a space launch vehicle or Earth’s crust relies on a large array of sophisticated and, often, expensive sensors. Read more

Computationally driving automated functional materials discovery for net zero technologies with machine reasoning and decision-making

This project, suited to a student with a Computer Science or Mathematics background, will formally define the nature and consequences of the decisions that need to be made in the automated workflow and identify both the optimal combination of existing methods and tools to accelerate discovery and the gaps in capability that currently exist. Read more

Paleo-modelling of the Red Sea

The Red Sea is a semi-enclosed basin, with limited connections to the open ocean, with narrow and shallow straits operating a strong control on exchanges between the Red Sea and the wider ocean. Read more
