We have 879 Physics PhD Research Projects PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Programming Colloidal Self-Assembly for Advanced Materials

A PhD place is available with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham on a project themed on designing and developing colloidal advanced materials, using high-performance computing, underpinned by theories of statistical mechanics and wave propagation in periodic structures. Read more

PhD in Physical Chemistry: Uncovering structure in the next generation of sustainable batteries

We have a vacancy for a PhD student working in the area of physical chemistry. While lithium dominates current battery technology, there is considerable drive to move away from lithium salts to more abundant or lower cost alternatives. Read more

Theremoelectric Nanomaterials for Energy Recovery

Thermoelectric materials offer the unique capability to convert waste heat directly into electrical energy. Efficiency is related to a figure of merit (ZT S2sT/k), that is determined by the Seebeck coefficient (S), electrical conductivity (s) and thermal conductivity (k). Read more

EPSRC iCASE PhD Studentship in Quantum sensors: Low Frequency Rydberg Atom Sensor

Radio Frequency (RF) sensors based on highly-excited ‘Rydberg’ atoms offer unique capabilities. Atoms are intrinsically calibrated, and their properties are universal, so measurements should be reliable and repeatable. Read more

Inspired by nature: sulfide minerals as sustainable and efficient thermoelectric materials

We have a vacancy for a PhD student to join a project at the forefront of research in thermoelectric materials, which can be used in devices for the direct conversion of waste heat into electrical power. Read more

Large-momentum-transfer atom interferometry with Strontium

The Quantum Sensing Group at University of Birmingham invites applications for a PhD position in the field of strontium based cold atom physics, starting from September 2024. Read more

Vapour Deposited Perovskites for High Performance Multi-Junction Photovoltaic Devices

Metal-halide perovskite based solar cells have now achieved a light to electricity conversion efficiency of 26.1%, making them the leading emerging thin-film solar cell material. Read more

Audio/acoustics Machine Learning

One fully-funded PhD studentship including fees and stipend is available for an outstanding candidate to join the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), part of the University of Surrey’s Institute for People-centred Artificial Intelligence (PAI), in partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS. Read more

Stimulated and Quantum-enhanced Brillouin imaging

Brillouin spectroscopy is an important technique for measuring the visco-elastic properties of biological materials, with applications to fundamental biology, tissue engineering, and drug-discovery. Read more

Atomistic Simulations of Surface Chemistry underpinning the Atomic-Scale Processing of Materials for AI-driven Nanoelectronics Applications

Project description. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and atomic layer etching (ALE) are crucial technologies in semiconductor processing, especially as nanoelectronics devices become smaller and more complex. Read more

Developing a framework for regulatory conformance of innovative experimental nuclear reactor

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are a next-generation nuclear reactor technology outlined by Generation IV International Forum, fulfilling sustainability, economics, safety, and proliferation resistance goals. Read more

Understanding nanoparticle hydrogen fuel cell catalysts using electron microscopy

About the Project. Project Description. Solving the worlds energy crisis is the most pressing need for humanity as we move away from globally harming and unsustainable fossil fuels for energy production. Read more
