Chemical Engineering (well being) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 33 Chemical Engineering (well being) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Ultrasound Based Technology for Removal of Scale from Downhole Production Tubing

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

Ion irradiation of advanced nuclear fuels

Nuclear fission power currently accounts for 20% of UK energy production, making it a key low-carbon energy source for reducing greenhouse gases and meeting the governments New-Zero target by 2050. Read more

Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces

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

Gaseous Pipeline Transport and its underground porous media Storage for NET ZERO Innovation

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

Three-dimensional hybrid composites for repair and recycling PhD

This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers. Read more

Next-Generation Low-Carbon Cement Wasteforms for Safe Disposal of Radioactive Waste

In the UK, over 150,000m3 of radioactive waste (enough to fill 60 Olympic size swimming pools) has been produced to date. Most of this radioactive waste needs conditioning by encapsulating it in cement to prevent release to the biosphere. Read more

Waste-to-protein recovery through protein separation and purification

The plant-sourced and animal-sourced proteins are resource-demand and carbon-intensive. This combined with increasing protein demands highlight the complex challenge on providing protein security. Read more

Modelling the Role of Hard Particles in Hard Facing Alloys

Supervisory Team:  Robert Wood, Georges Limbert and Dave Stewart (RRSL). Project description. Hard facing alloys, such as those used in nuclear power plant, are composite materials comprising carbides (and other hard phases), in galling resistant metallic matrices. Read more

Data centric modelling of adhesive wear

Supervisory Team:  Robert Wood, Jo Grundy and Dave Stewart (RRSL).  Project description. The occurrence of adhesive wear between sliding surfaces can cause high friction, vibration, material transfer between surfaces and even seizure of components. Read more

An investigation into droplet splashing and levitation phenomena in multiphase systems

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words).  . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of a droplet or a group of droplets with a solid or liquid surface. Read more

Thermo-electric materials for tab cooling of advanced batteries

Supervisory Team.   Prof Richard Wills, Dr Iris Nandhakumar. Project description. Effective thermal management of lithium-based battery systems is important for optimising cell efficiency, reducing cell degradation and preventing catastrophic failure. Read more

Control of Membrane Fouling by Vibrations

Supervisory Team.   Dr Anatoliy Vorobev, Dr Zheng Jiang, Dr Peter Glynne-Jones. Project description. Membrane filtration has emerged as an essential component of industrial processes that involve separation (or purification) of substances. Read more

Foam Hadron Collider

Microfluidic devices involving small droplets or bubbles flowing along narrow channels are becoming increasingly important, not least in the context Covid-19 testing. Read more
