Understanding environmental effects on materials for quantum technology from first principles
The success and widespread use of the next generation of quantum technology will fundamentally depend on the materials used to make them. Read more
EPSRC DTP - Investigating AI's Potential in Facilitating Sustainable Material Selection
The fashion industry is one of the most resource-intensive sectors, significantly contributing to environmental degradation through excessive waste, high water consumption, and substantial greenhouse gas emissions (Riba et al., 2020; Saha et al., 2024). Read more
Formation mechanisms of network structures during the solidification of immiscible liquids
Immiscible liquids are incapable of forming a homogeneous mixture, instead existing as two distinct fluids in a mixture (e.g. oil and water). Read more
Understanding the non-Arrhenius stress corrosion cracking behaviour of structural materials in high temperature water
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. We offer an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, understanding the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) behaviour of structural materials in nuclear plants. Read more
Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more
EPSRC DTP - AICOM (AI for Composites Operations and Maintenance)
Composite materials are increasingly utilized in aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent mechanical properties. Read more
EPSRC DTP - Mechanisms of Hydrogen Embrittlment in latest generation high strength aluminium alloys
Al-Mg-Zn-Cu (7xxx) series aluminium represent the strongest light alloys that have been developed. Unfortunately as higher strength and toughness materials (with good fatigue and corrosion properties) are developed they become increasingly susceptible to Hydrogen embrittlement (HE). Read more
Elucidating Steel Corrosion Rates in High-salinity Groundwater - A Multi-technique Approach
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The PhD project will focus on elucidating the corrosion rate of steel and stainless steel when in contact with high-salinity groundwater. Read more

Developing a deterministic prediction of the specular component of reflections from an evolving melting surface due to high energy laser irradiation. Read more
Direct e-beam writing of Nanostructures
A fully funded (bench fees and stipend) 36 month studentships are available with Professor David J. Read more
EPSRC DTP - Technology and engineering to enable inclusivity in fashion
Pattern drafting and construction methods for clothing are focused on a narrow shape range and do not provide garments suitable for diverse populations. Read more
EPSRC DTP - Numerical Investigation and Uncertainty Quantification of Composite Flexible Risers
Pipelines, traditionally constructed from steel, form the backbone of the oil and gas industry, facilitating crucial transportation in both onshore and offshore operations. Read more
EPSRC DTP - Exploring the nanoscale structure of multicomponent materials
There are a range of materials that incorporate large numbers of elements (often 5 -10 elements) to create large amounts of configurational entropy and so stabilise structures that might not otherwise exist. Read more
EPSRC DTP - New Thermal Barrier Coatings for Prolonged Lifetime
We are inviting applications for an exciting PhD project to develop innovative thermal barrier coatings with enhanced lifetime and performance. Read more
