  A soft robotic technology by controllably morphing gel structures (Advert Reference: RDFC18/EE/MCE/XU)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr B Xu
Application Deadline: 9 June 2019
This project includes the design and fabrication of a soft robotic technology by using the stimuli-responsive hydrogel materials and structural thin shell design, which enable instability morphology to be spatially distributed and generated at the surface of gel structure.

  Achieving an optimal trade-off between power system stability/hosting capacity and energy peak by implementing demand side management in home microgrids (H-MG)s in the neighbourhood systems (Advert Reference: SF18/MPEE/MARZBAND)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr M Marzband
Applications accepted all year round
I am recruiting some PhD students for a project regarding the optimal planning and operation of so many H-MGs in the neighbourhood system (with up to a few thousand customers) with the aim of hosting capacity and voltage stability improvement in the network.

  Antimicrobial behaviour of novel alloyed steels (Advert Reference: SF18/MCE/GONZALEZ SANCHEZ)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr S Gonzalez Sanchez
Applications accepted all year round
In the European Union 8 to 12 % of the inhabitants risk of nosocomial infections. Hospital touch surfaces such as bed rails and handles can be a reservoir of pathogens that cause infections resulting not only in substantial economic losses but even in patient death.

  Automatic micro and mixed emotion recognition system for Human-robot interaction (Advert Reference: SF18/CIS/MISTRY)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr K Mistry
Applications accepted all year round
Facial expression is one of the most effective means for human beings to indicate emotions, feelings and intentions. Literature shows that facial expression contributed to about 55% effect of overall emotion expression during social interactions.

  Conditional monitoring and fault prognosis for renewable energy systems (Advert Reference: SF18/MPEE/GAO)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr D Gao
Applications accepted all year round
Renewable energy has contributed more and more proportions of electricity generations in the UK, Europe and around the world. Renewable energy equipments/systems such as wind turbines, photovoltaics and so forth would be subjected to faults or malfunctions due to the age or unexpected events.

  Creating a Sensor Toolkit using Embroidered Electronics (Advert Reference: SF18/MPEE/DODD)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr L Dodd, Prof D Wood
Applications accepted all year round
Embroidered electronic sensors have received a great deal of interest in recent years. Sensors are a mainstay of modern society but are often large, heavy and bulky.
