AI-Based Diagnostics and Prognostics Digital Twin to Support Predictive Maintenance of Gas Turbine Engines PhD
Current gas turbine engines use hydrocarbon fuels, such as kerosene, diesel and natural gas which inevitably produce CO2 and NOx emissions. Read more
Fusion of advanced testing and machine learning methods in propulsion aerodynamics PhD
Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD studentship in the area of aero-engine aerodynamics within the Propulsion Engineering Centre at Cranfield University sponsored by EPSRC and LaVision UK. Read more
3-year PhD studentship: Functional Devices and Structures through 3D Multi-material Printing Scale-Up - (ENG 1685)
Supervisors. Professor Richard Hague1, Professor Chris Tuck1, Dr. Geoffrey Rivers1. (1Faculty of Engineering). PhD project description. Read more
Decarbonisation of Welding and Associated Processes in the fabrication of large steelwork structures - supported by BAE Systems iCASE award
Manufacturing causes 20% of carbon emission globally and consumes about 54% of global energy generation – this means large scale manufacturers need to understand and address their carbon emission for effective decarbonisation of manufacturing processes. Read more
Engineering Doctorate (EngD): A Novel Gas/Liquid contactor for Direct Air Capture and industrial CO2 capture technologies
Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) consists of a series of essential climate change mitigation technologies used to achieve the carbon neutrality of the Paris Climate Change agreement. Read more
Novel Material (MOFs) Synthesis using Microfluidic Reactor
Project description. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), composed of organic linkers and metal nodes, are a class of crystalline porous materials with great application potential. Read more
Development of Advanced Anode Materials for Proton-based Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
Project description. This aim of this project is to develop a next generation hydrogen production technology, proton-based solid oxide electrolysis cell, that can effectively support the rapid growth of intermittent renewable energy generated from solar and wind sources. Read more
Coupling of fluid flow with multiple physics
Prof. Xuerui Mao’s research group at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) is recruiting a PHD student on simulation or experiments of complex fluid flow coupled with multiple physics, with potential topics depending on the expertise and interest of the candidate. Read more
Providing Computational Insights into Cardiac Xenotransplantation (XenoSim)
Overview. We are at the dawn of a new medical age, marked by the first pig-to-human heart transplant in January 2022, and the second operation in September 2023. Read more
Reactive transport modeling, mutliscale algorithms, and machine learning in porous media
The Mehmani Research Group has one opening for a fully funded PhD student starting Fall 2024 in the Department of Energy and Mineral Engineering (www.eme.psu.edu) at the Penn State University. Read more
Effect of chemical degradation and formulation stability on viscoelastic relaxation processes
Current accelerated stress relaxation tests indirectly show how a polymer network rearranges (viscoelastic considerations) to reduce the applied stress (thermodynamic considerations). Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Wind turbines now generate more than a quarter of UK electricity. Read more
MPhil / PhD Studentship in Application of Digital Twin To Wheel / Rail Contact Environment
The project develops application of the Rail Research and Innovation Centre hardware-in-loop facility and specifically the scaled wheel-rail contact rig to research and develop a combined testing and simulation strategy which could be applied for optimising a range of wear, energy use and noise while achieving demanded traction and braking in a range of environments. Read more
A new generation of sustainable structures through holistic optimisation
Research Group:
School of Civil Engineering
The built environment is responsible for a significant proportion of global carbon emissions. This can be partly attributed to inefficiencies in structural behaviour. Read more
Fluid mechanics in bio-inspired flight/swimming and renewable energy systems
The project aims at tackling the fluid dynamics problems that arise in bio-inspired flight/swimming and renewable energy systems. Read more
