PhD Research Projects for UK Students

We have 2,526 PhD Research Projects for UK Students

Neutrino Oscillation Study with DUNE

DUNE is a large international project to design, construct and operate a multi-kiloton scale liquid argon detector for neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and a search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Read more

Searching for Higgs Boson Pair Production with the ATLAS Experiment at the CERN LHC

It's possible that the 125 GeV Higgs boson discovered by the CERN ATLAS and CMS Experiments is only one of several neutrally-charged Higgs bosons predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Read more

Dark Matter Search with ADMX and the Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector Collaboration

This Ph.D. project involves searches for hidden sector dark matter, including QCD axions and axion like particles (ALPs). Our group at Sheffield leads the 'Quantum Sensors for the Hidden Sector' collaboration, and collaborates with the Axion Dark Matter Experiment (ADMX) collaboration in the USA. Read more

Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications

Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more

Funded PhD Opportunity: Pioneering Time Series Analysis Through Self-Normalisation

About the project. Techniques and Overview. In the intricate world of statistical analysis, accurately understanding the variance of temporally correlated data is crucial for reliable conclusions. Read more

Mathematical analysis of PDEs arising from modelling biological processes

Biological systems, in contrast to physical systems, exhibit a high level of complexity. Attempting to replicate their dynamics through mathematical models (system of differential equations) turns out to be quite challenging. Read more

Laser spectroscopy of isotopes for nuclear environments

Measurements of isotopes and isotope ratios are important in many areas of science and engineering including the nuclear industry, nuclear forensics, environmental sciences and also in medicine. 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

Investigation of the lifetime limiting effects within electrospray thruster spacecraft propulsion

Supervisory Team.   Dr Charlie Ryan, Dr Alex Wittig. Project description. Typical high performance electric propulsion options for large satellites, such as gridded ion thrusters or Hall Effect thrusters, do not work well for nano satellites. Read more

Investigation of the potential of using magnetic reconnection as the method of acceleration within spacecraft propulsion

Supervisory Team.   Dr Charlie Ryan, Dr Alex Wittig. Project description. This PhD project will aim to investigate the potential of using magnetic reconnection within a plasma propulsion thruster for spacecraft, and exciting and novel topic within the field. Read more
