Mechanical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

We have 552 Mechanical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for Self-funded Students

Wave devouring propulsion for marine decarbonisation PhD

This exciting fully funded PhD is sponsored by EPSRC, with an enhanced stipend of £20,000 per annum (with fees covered). This project will develop the new technology for wave-based thrust harvesting for various floating platforms for marine decarbonisation. . Read more

Design of Superconducting Electric Machines for Zero Emission Transport

The Institute for Energy Systems, School of Engineering, at the University of Edinburgh, is inviting applications for the following fully-funded PhD project, expected to commence on 1st September 2024. Read more

Plasma-based gas conversion into value-added chemicals

  Research Group: Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasmas are promising technology for the conversion of gases such as CO2, CH4 or N2 into more valuable ones, e.g. CO (starting material for alcohols and hydrocarbons), H2 (clean fuel applications) and NH3 (fertilisers). Read more

Novel Proprioceptive Skins for Enhanced Human-Robot Interaction

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The human skin is a marvel of biological engineering, equipped with an intricate network of billions of sensory receptors in the form of nerve cells. Read more

Novel Multi-axis MEMs Force Sensors for Robotic Applications

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Robots heavily rely on sensors to interact with their environment. Among these sensors, multi-axis force sensors play a pivotal role in enabling robots to safely interact with objects. Read more

Large Language models for Maintenance Optimisation

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The University of York is embarking on transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, revolutionizing the way systems are designed and operated. Read more

Intelligent microsystems – Micro-sensors with in-sensor computing capabilities

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In the era of Internet-of-Things (IoT), there will be an astronomical amount of data generated from numerous sensors worldwide. It is extremely insecure, power-inefficient, and time-consuming to transfer all the data between sensor nodes and computing units frequently. Read more

Hybrid Technologies for Battery Thermal Management Using Smart Materials

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with many advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, wide range of operating temperature, and low self-discharge rates. 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

Dynamic modelling and model based control of Compliant Hybrid Robots

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Recent trends and the evolution of robots suggest a greater integration of automated robots into everyday life. These robots are expected to serve various roles, including service robots, healthcare assistants, inspection robots, and more. Read more

Deployable Mobile Robots for autonomous inspection applications

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The adoption of autonomous robots for industrial inspection holds significant appeal, primarily due to their capacity to operate in various environments without concern for safety and health hazards. Read more

Building Baymax - Flexible Robot Skin: Smart sensors and algorithms

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In this project, we aim to develop the next generation of household robots (not vacuum cleaners but multi-task robotic manipulators) that are safe to interact with, even for children and the elderly. Read more
