Nanotechnology (surface engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 39 Nanotechnology (surface engineering) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Hot corrosion studies of gas turbine alloy materials PhD

This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more

Material degradation study of heat-exchanger materials and coatings for renewable energy PhD

This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more

Material degradation study of energy storage materials for renewable technologies PhD

This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation details in extreme environments. 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

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

Microbial Induced Electrochemistry at the Local Site and Single Cell Level

Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a serious economic problem with an estimate worldwide cost of $113 Bn every year. MIC impacts a very wide range of industries, from power plants to construction, and even the health of humans with implants or protheses. Read more

Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

Applications are invited for a self-funded PhD. In this PhD project you will integrate surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) with an LFI platform for POC diagnostics using size-controlled Raman reporter-tagged gold nanoparticle clusters. Read more

Metal-based nanocomposites hyper-activity in heterogeneous non-catalytic and catalytic reactions

This project aims to demonstrate that certain efficiency limits and conventional rules of stoichiometry can be broken and engineered to deliver cost-effective solutions for current challenges in water reclamation and environmental remediation. 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

Self-assembly of nanoparticles on thin films and droplets of surfactant-polymer mixes

Many types of nanomaterials rely on the self-assembly process of their corresponding nanoparticles. Soft matter thin films are often used as templates to direct the assembly of the nanoparticles into desired arrangements. Read more

CDT-QTE: Quantum well membrane laser integrated with metasurface

Supervisory Team: Dr Bruce Ou, Prof Vasilis Apostolopoulos. Project description. This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Future Carbon-Neutral Fuels: The Chemistry of Ammonia on Steel Surfaces

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
This project will examine how ammonia, a carbon-free fuel considered a replacement for diesel, impacts on the longevity and performance of existing engine technologies. Read more

Advanced sensing platforms

The Raman spectroscopy technique provides a ’spectral fingerprint’ of a molecule that can be used for analytical proposes in a variety of application. Read more

Sustainable Carbon Nanomaterials for Electrochemical Energy Conversion in Hydrogen Fuel Cells

The Hydrogen Economy will help to shift society away from fossil fuels and contribute to decarbonisation. Electrochemical processes are at the heart of the hydrogen economy providing a means to convert renewable energy into green hydrogen via electrolysis or converting hydrogen into electrical power using fuel cells. Read more

Fuel Retention and Release Mechanisms in Breeder Blanket Materials for Nuclear Fusion Devices

With climate change driving a desire to move towards a low-carbon/carbon-free energy landscape, power generated from nuclear fusion offers a high-capacity, baseload electricity generation for the future. Read more

CDT-QTE: Quantum well membrane lasers for generation of vortex beams

Supervisory Team: Prof Vasilis Apostolopoulos, Dr Bruce Ou. Project description:This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Investigating the Local Mode of Action of Anti-Perspirants using model systems and advanced probing techniques

This EPSRC Case PhD studentship is a collaboration between the University of Liverpool and Unilever to understand the action of personal care products on skin at the localised chemical level.                  . Read more

Engineered nanomaterials for safe sustainable water purification

Access to clean drinking water and sanitation has seen substantial progress in recent time, however there is still a large part of the global population, that live mostly in rural settings, that lack this basic necessity. Read more
