Applications are invited for one full-time PhD Studentships 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 Advanced Hydrogen Engines”. 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
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
AI/Machine Learning for chemical process monitoring and design in the manufacture of green chemicals
At Aberdeen, we have several lines of research around the manufacture of green chemicals. For example, we are building plasma catalysis reactors to reform biomethane and/or carbon dioxide into more valuable chemicals as part of a Leverhulme trust sponsored doctoral training centre. Read more
Fully Funded PhD Studentship in EPSRC Centre for Doctor Training (CDT) - Resilient decarbonised Fuel Energy Systems.
Utilisation of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) as blend with petroleum-derived aviation fuels or standalone replacements offers an advantageous step towards decarbonised aviation, for foreseeable future, in response to the net-zero emission target by 2050. Read more
