PhD Studentship: Hydrogen transport processes in underground geological storage and the surrounding environment
Award summary . 100% fees covered for four years and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Read more
Autogenous diagenesis of limestone waste (FES-PhD-2425-01)
Diagenesis refers to the physical, chemical and biological processes that ‘turn’ sediments into rock (1,2). As sediments become buried by natural processes, they are subject to overburden pressure and raised temperatures, albeit lower than those that cause metamorphism (2,3). Read more
Multi-scale corrosion assessment of additively remanufactured metallic components
Research Group:
School of Mechanical Engineering
This PhD will investigate the corrosion behaviour of additively remanufactured stainless steel in collaboration with Sulzer. Read more
Artificial Optical Nervous System
The aim of this project is to establish a new class of sensing system that is capable of mapping strain distribution at thousands of points using a single strand of optical fibre thinner than a human hair. Read more
Impact of Submarine Burial Environments on the Power Flow of High Voltage Cables
Research Group:
Electrical Power Engineering
As a research project within the Doctoral Centre for Advanced Electrical Power Engineering this project will investigate the impact of heterogeneous burial environments on the power flow capacity of high voltage submarine cables. . Read more
Silent piling for offshore wind turbines
Research Group:
Infrastructure Division
You will develop a novel predictive model for the 'silent' installation of open-ended piles for offshore wind turbine foundations, through advanced physical and numerical modelling. Read more
Anchoring our future - floating offshore wind turbine foundations
New, efficient design methods are urgently needed to unlock deeper waters for offshore renewable energy infrastructure. Read more

Protecting UK infrastructure from landslides triggered by climate extremes
Background. Landslides impact the railway network on average three times per week, and their frequency has increased by >50% in the last ten years. Read more
Building resilient offshore infrastructure: centrifuge modelling of submarine landslides (C3.5-MAC-Leonardi)
This PhD project investigates strategies to protect underwater infrastructure, such as subsea power cables, from the impacts of submarine landslides—a growing concern as the UK expands its offshore wind capacity. Read more
Behaviour of under-reamed piles in sand under lateral and vertical loading
The project will involve fabricating small sized FRP and steel rods fitted with circular discs at the bottom and jacked through a layer of sand in a wooden box. Read more
PhD Studentships - Process Industries: Net Zero - Whole system optimisation of bioresources
This PhD project is part of the CDT in Process Industries: Net Zero. The successful PhD student will be co-supervised by academics from the Process Intensification Group at Newcastle University. Read more
