Experimental study of ignition and combustion of zero-carbon fuels and their application to IC engines
Applications are invited for ONE full time PhD studentship for this project starting 1st October 2022. Read more
PhD Studentship: Biopolymer depolymerisation studies using supercritical fluids
Description. Oil-derived plastic waste is an environmental problem around the world. Biopolymers are seen as substitutes of traditional polymers since they come from renewable sources. Read more
PhD in Novel Techniques for the Application of an Aluminide Coating
This prestigious EPSRC iCASE (Industrial Collaborative Awards in Science and Engineering) award, co-funded by the industrial partner, Siemens Energy Industrial Turbomachinery Ltd, provides a four-year fully-funded PhD studentship. Read more
Research and Development of the Ammonia Combustion Engines
Applications are invited for one full-time PhD Studentship in the . Centre for Advanced Powertrain and Fuels. in the College of Engineering, Design and Physical Sciences, Brunel University London for the project titled “Research and Development of the Ammonia Combustion Engines”. Read more
Efficient Compositional Simulation of Reactive Transport in CO2 Storage
CO. 2. injection into geological formations triggers complex physical and chemical interactions at different time and length scales, which are critical to the evaluation of subsurface capacities, operational risks, and storage safety. Read more
Experimental and Simulation Study on Mitigation of Fire and Explosion Using Water Mist
There has been a great deal of interest in the use of water based explosion suppression systems, designed to mitigate or reduce the impact of thermal explosions and their consequential overpressures. Read more

Has the way we teach engineering and science helped to cause climate change?
Since the industrial revolution and the development of the science upon which it was built--equilibrium thermodynamics, chemistry, energy transfer and so on--education in science has tended to introduce key concepts in simplified ways. Read more
Modelling and understanding induction heating for additive manufacturing PhD or MSc by Research
We are looking for a motivated candidate to pursue PhD / MSc by Research based on a project entitled “Modelling and understanding induction heating for additive manufacturing”. Read more
Novel hybrid modelling approach and solution algorithms for optimal synthesis and design of industrial CO2 utilisation processes
The increase of anthropogenic CO. 2. emissions from the utilization and conversion of fossil fuel has been a global concern as it led to unintended consequences on global warming and climate change. Read more
Study Engineering in the USA with the George Washington University
Doctoral students comprise the backbone of research conducted at the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Through funding support from faculty, internal and external grants, doctoral students can expect to take 4-6 years to complete the program through coursework, research credits and writing their dissertation. Read more
Simulation, optimization and control of fluid catalytic cracking unit for CO2 minimization
Research Group:
Mechanical and Process Engineering
The simulation model of Fluid Catalytic Cracking (FCC) unit and many other refinery processes maximise the yields of fuels such as gasoline, diesel, propylene and minimise the yields of CO2. Read more
Feasibility study of heavy metal mining from subsurface reservoirs for renewable energy storage
Heavy metal demand is expected to increase as more of the world turns to electric vehicles and renewable energy storage systems. However, current supply of heavy metals is not sufficient to meet energy transition targets over the next decade due to limited available resources. Read more
Laboratory investigation, surface complexation and molecular dynamics modelling of silica-brine-CO2 interfacial properties
CO. 2. injection into deep aquifers aquifers or depleted oil reservoirs is a promising method for safe carbon geological storage (CGS). Read more
Fluid Flow of Colloidal Suspensions in Subsurface Porous Media: Application to Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) Processes
Different chemicals such as surfactants and polymers are used in the oil and gas sector (e.g., in oil recovery) and also during CO2 storage projects (CCUS). Read more
