Optimising Biomass Milling, Classification and Conveying for Enhanced Power Generation
This. project. will explore the fundamental link between biomass milling, classification and conveying to optimise biomass processing. Read more
Modelling and Analysis of Opposed Piston Composite Cycle Aero Engine Concepts PhD
Building a sustainable and climate neutral future for aviation is an inevitable requirement for a society with increasing mobility needs. Read more
Understanding tree anchorage to make forests more resilient to climate change
Forests provide a multitude of ecosystem services. Furthermore, their ability to help regulate the atmosphere in terms of capturing and storing carbon means they are a key component in helping to battle climate change. Read more
Flood Propagation modelling
The mathematical modelling of flood propagation in rural and urban areas is typically carried out using numerical codes that solve with different approaches the so-called Shallow Water Equations (SWE), i.e. Read more
MINIMAL - Smoothed particle hydrodynamics for multiphase flow
Multiphase flows are encountered in most physical processes and engineering applications. The present project will look at the physics of the wave breaking at the beach, where the wave energy is dissipated generating air entrapment, and significant sediment transport. Read more
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) modelling of hydraulic turbines
Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) modelling of hydraulic turbines. A fully funded PhD studentship is available at the University of Parma (in Parma, Italy) in the framework of a Scientific collaboration between Andritz Hydro SAS and University of Parma. Read more
Justice-oriented Energy Transitions and the Role of Smart Technologies in Emerging and Developing Countries
University College London
Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (UCL STEaPP)
UCL’s Department of Science, Technology, Engineering and Public Policy (STEaPP) is inviting PhD applications (including a 2-page proposal) on the topic “Justice-oriented energy transitions and the role of smart technologies in emerging and developing countries”. Read more
Water Infrastructure and Resilience (WIRe) CDT PhD studentship: Quantifying and abating greenhouse gas emissions from large wastewater treatment plants
Overview. The PhD project ‘Quantifying and abating greenhouse gas emissions from large wastewater treatment plants’ is an industrial-academic collaboration between Newcastle University and Northumbrian Water Limited. Read more
Development of green hydrogenation platforms for chemical feedstock development
We invite expressions of interest for a PhD position in the UCD School of Chemical and Bioprocess Engineering at University College Dublin, Ireland from outstanding students. Read more
Novel heated permeable concrete infrastructure for the built environment
Primary supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. Alalea Kia. Co-supervisor, Imperial College London. Dr. David M G Taborda. Overview. Read more
Developing new techniques to identify fugitive methane emissions and their sources
Methane is a major greenhouse gas and so contributes to climate change. Cranfield and Schlumberger are offering an iCASE PhD studentship, developing practical methods to monitor methane emissions from point source emissions such as oil and gas facilities. Read more
Photocatalytic methanation membrane: A low-energy, low-resource route to biomethane expansion for net-zero
Decarbonising heat and vehicle fuels are the most difficult challenges in delivering net-zero for the UK by 2050. Biomethane already has the potential to replace 18% of natural gas consumption. Read more
Socio-economic analysis of soilless cultivation for rapid bioenergy feedstock production
Reaching Net-Zero greenhouse gas emissions requires extensive changes across the UK economy, where energy innovation is playing a vital role. Read more
Data-driven modelling of laminar-turbulent transition in wall-bounded flows
Transition from a laminar to a turbulent state in a fluid flow is a widely observed phenomenon occurring in a large variety of natural and engineering applications. Read more
Transition Metal Oxide Catalysts for Anion Exchange Membrane Water Electrolysers (AEMWE)
A full PhD studentship (3.5-year stipend at. UKRI. rates, £16,062 in year one, and tuition fees at UK rate) is offered at the Department of Engineering, Lancaster University, UK to undertake research in developing new catalyst materials for use in Anion exchange membrane water electrolysers.
