Energy Storage Modelling

Supervisory Team.   Prof Andrew Cruden, Prof Richard Wills, Prof Suleiman Sharkh. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship to investigate the electrical, thermal and economic modelling of a range of electrical energy storage types (e.g. 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

Hydrogen production impacts for drought resilience planning

A reliable water supply and a successful energy transition are two necessary conditions for a sustainable future. Yet we know little about how the switch to intermittent renewables (wind, solar) for our energy supply will affect the future operation of our water infrastructure. Read more

Efficient manoeuvres for vortex-foil interactions

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and Sergio Araujo-Estrada. Project description. In recent years, aerial and underwater autonomous vehicles have seen significant growth. Read more

Experimental measurements of pressure gradient history effects on turbulent boundary layers

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and John Lawson. Project description. Turbulent boundary layers subjected to pressure gradients are found in a wide range of engineering applications and environmental flows. Read more

Convective heat-transfer in turbulent boundary layers

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and Sean Symon. Project description. The electrification of aircraft as an enabler for achieving our Net-Zero ambitions has been increasingly studied in recent years. Read more

Developing Dynamic Line Rating Determination of Transmission Lines Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Transmission lines play a crucial role in ensuring the reliable and efficient transfer of electricity over long distances. However, their static rating limits often lead to underutilization or the risk of overloading during peak demands or under dynamic weather conditions. Read more

Sustainable Heating and Cooling Technologies

The project. The Sustainable Thermal Energy Technologies (STET) research group in the School of Engineering has a PhD scholarship opportunity in the area of thermal energy. Read more

Energy Harvester in Renewable Energy and Sensor Networks

In this project, we will develop an energy harvester capable of harvesting vibrational energy from the environment and converting it into electrical energy to power no-battery sensors. Read more

PhD in Energy Systems

This post invites applications for a self-funded PhD position aimed at advancing the science and technology of power systems. This research endeavour is nestled in the multifaceted domain of power system analysis, planning, and optimisation, with a sharp focus on the following research themes. Read more
