We have 41 Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Loughborough
Environmental Evaluation of Microcomb Stability (Ref: AP2/PH/2024)
This PhD project, blending theoretical and experimental approaches, aims to revolutionize quantum technologies by developing ultra-precise timing counters. Read more
Optically-Reconfigurable Nanomagnetic Devices for Data Processing (Ref: NL/PH/2024)
Information technologies are ubiquitous, allowing us to solve more and more complex computational problems than ever. Read more
New approaches to modelling compressible boundary layer flows (Ref: ABCE-CK1-24)
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
The physics of Gamma-Ray Bursts and multi-messenger sources
Three Key Points. Exploit Leicester access to the new SVOM and Einstien Probe missions to find transients, particularly GRBs. Combine high-energy data with optical/IR data from Stargate consortium, GOTO survey, JWST and other facilities. Read more

Unconventional microwave generator
The project is related to the development of a powerful microwave source, able to operate over an extremely wide frequency range (kHz to 10s of GHz). Read more
Lunar South Pole Landing Sites: Analogue Mineralogy and ISRU
The lunar south pole is a key region for human and robotic exploration. The PhD will characterise lunar meteorites and thermophysical properties of ice-bearing analogues. Read more
Cellular Automaton to Model Rapid Crystal Growth and Recrystallisation
Please note that this project is not University-funded. You will need to secure external funding to cover your tuition and living expenses. Read more
CENTA funded - Novel and sustainable production of nuclear material mimics for Earth applications and space exploration
Project highlights. Novel and sustainable preparation of nuclear materials surrogates/mimics . Assessment of a new proposed method against current processes for civil terrestrial nuclear fuel production to understand if waste aspects can be improved . Read more
CENTA funded - Geostationary monitoring of aerosols to further numerical weather prediction
Project highlights. Working with the Met Office to improve weather forecasts by creating next-generation satellite observations that track aerosols and clouds throughout the day . Read more
Adaptive and Predictive Computational Modelling of Biomaterials: A Digital Twin Framework for Next-Generation Personalised Healthcare (Ref: SF-UF-SL-2024)
The healthcare industry is rapidly embracing digital technologies to deliver data-driven, personalised medicine. Digital twins—computer-based, or in silico, models that replicate physical objects or systems—provide a realistic environment for studying diseases, testing new drugs, and developing medical devices. Read more
Fiber-based Foams for Sustainable Material Development (Ref: AACME-24-051)
There is a growing effort to replace oil-derived products with new, sustainable, and eco-friendly materials. Lightweight materials made from natural fibres could contribute to this transformation, provided they can meet the performance standards of current materials. Read more
Development of robust wall modelling for practical aerodynamic high fidelity prediction (Ref: AACME-24-031)
Eddy-resolving methods have gained enormous interest in turbulent flow simulations recently as they rely much less on problem-dependent Reynolds-averaged based closure models (also known as RANS). Read more
Data-driven modelling and analysis of ammonia spray combustion for net-zero transitions (Ref: AACME-24-008)
Achieving carbon neutrality is essential in combating global warming. The UK’s 2050 net-zero target and the Paris Agreement highlight the urgent need to transition from fossil fuels to non-carbon alternatives, especially for heavy-duty and marine sectors where battery technology has limited feasibility. Read more
Advanced Modelling of Carbon Black Morphology in Methane Pyrolysis for CO2-Free Hydrogen Production (Ref: AACME-24-010)
Methane pyrolysis is a promising low-carbon method for hydrogen production, where methane decomposes into hydrogen gas and solid carbon, thus avoiding CO₂ emissions common in traditional processes like steam methane reforming. Read more
Study of SCO2 compressor instability by using high fidelity CFD and data-driven reduced order model (Ref: AACME-24-007)
Supercritical carbon dioxide (SCO2) would be a key working fluid for the future power systems (e.g. concentrated solar power, geothermal and even classic power). Read more
