Laser Beam Shape Manipulation in Ultra-Short Pulse Laser Manufacturing
This PhD is directly supported by the European Office of Aerospace Research and Development (EOARD) with a generous grant including an enhanced stipend, equipment & consumables budgets and a student travel budget. Read more
Improved CFD wall-boiling modelling to better account for heat transfer surface characteristics on the critical heat flux in nuclear pressurized water reactors.
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. The project will advance the accuracy of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models employed for predicting boiling heat transfer and particularly the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) in nuclear Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). Read more
Multi-Scale Mechanics of Biological Composites: Insights from Advanced X-ray Nanotomography
Project Summary. Biological composite materials, such as bone, are three-dimensional, hierarchically structured inorganic-organic composites. Read more
Uncertainty quantification for fusion and fission: Exploring novel techniques to quantify and propagate uncertainty in nuclear analysis through the design lifecycle
Saturn_Nuclear_CDT. To support the development of nuclear technology, nuclear analysis is performed to calculate multiple relevant properties including activation of materials, shutdown dose rates, nuclear heating, material damage, tritium breeding, etc. Read more
Smart Structures for Noise and Vibration Control
This PhD project will explore and develop smart structures, which integrate advanced sensing, actuation and control, with the overall aim of controlling noise and vibration in practical engineering structures prevalent in automotive, maritime and aerospace applications. Read more
Self-tuneable metasurfaces for self-powered sensing and vibration absorption (Ref: FP-KB-2025)
The use of metasurfaces has gained increasing popularity across various applications, particularly in optics, acoustics and earthquake engineering, due to their special properties such as the meta-device thickness reduction (i.e., compared to 3D metamaterials) and intrinsic wave manipulating behaviour. Read more
Imaging with AI Integration for Early and Continuous Health Diagnostics and Monitoring (Ref: FP-BS-2025)
We invite applications from enthusiastic and self-motivated individuals who are passionate about cutting-edge, multidisciplinary research in future healthcare, imaging and sensing technologies. Read more
Reversing Hydrogen Embrittlement Sustainably: finding a pathway to facilitate long-term hydrogen storage and distribution (Ref: FP-AR-2025)
The goal of this project is to invent a rapid, sustainable technique for healing hydrogen-induced embrittlement in metals and alloys using high-frequency, low-density electric currents. Read more
Microbial Induced Electrochemistry at the Local Site and Single Cell Level
Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC) is a serious economic problem with an estimate worldwide cost of $113 Bn every year. MIC impacts a very wide range of industries, from power plants to construction, and even the health of humans with implants or protheses. Read more
Ultrafast dynamics of dissociative ionisation
Nottingham Ultrafast Reaction Dynamics research group is looking for a PhD student to develop new instrumentation to measure correlated electron-ion dynamics in the gas phase. Read more
Machine learning atomistic modelling of Li-ion and Na-ion battery anodes with accurate treatment of long-range interactions
Background. Lithium-ion batteries are essential to today's energy and mobility systems but face safety and raw material availability challenges as production rises. Read more
