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.

Mid-infrared hollow-core fibre and laser development for environmental monitoring, non-invasive surgery and advanced manufacturing

In this project we will develop hollow-core optical fibres (HCFs) for mid-infrared laser delivery. HCFs offer a radically new solution for laser delivery as they guide light in a gas-filled core, instead of the glass in conventional optical fibres. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more

Industrial PhD project: Design and build of novel scientific instrumentation

X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) is the primary technique employed to determine the chemical composition and chemical state of material surfaces, with an analysis depth of approximately 5 nm. Read more

Advanced computational modelling of nanobubble cavitation dynamics

Rapid changes in pressure, such as in high-frequency ultrasound, can stimulate bubbles to nucleate, oscillate, and collapse violently, in a phenomenon known as cavitation. 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

Machine Learning Model for Soft Robotic Gripper

Soft robotics are considered as a part of Robotics 2.0 which is related to the real-world environment with low predictability, low programmability, creativity, adaptation, and soft interaction. Read more

Development of Fibre-Enabled, Distributed Gas Sensing for Environmental and Industrial Monitoring

Supervisory Team: Dr Natalie Wheeler, Prof Radan Slavík, Dr Martynas Beresna. Project Description. We are looking for a new PhD student to join our growing team, working on the design and development of next generation optical fibres to enable novel distributed gas sensing networks. Read more
