Climate resilient submerged infrastructure

Supervisory Team: Dr Gustavo de Almeida; Dr Sergio Maldonado. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on the investigation of novel design methods to improve the resilience of submerged infrastructure (i.e. Read more

Development of Graphene-enhanced Concrete for Real Life Construction Applications

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world with an annual consumption of over 10 billion cubic meters. Cement, which is the most carbon intensive constituent in concrete that contributes to about 80% of the total embodied carbon of concrete. Read more

Modelling and Optimisation of Urban Evacuation Procedures

Background. Evacuation constitutes the most fundamental strategy in the response to a humanitarian disaster. Key among the factors impeding evacuation is the unique traffic patterns that arise due to the sudden surge in travel demand, which contravene nominal traveller behaviour. Read more

Study Engineering in the USA with the George Washington University

Doctoral students comprise the backbone of research conducted at the School of Engineering & Applied Science. Through funding support from faculty, internal and external grants, doctoral students can expect to take 4-6 years to complete the program through coursework, research credits and writing their dissertation. Read more

Climate resilience and sustainability of large portfolios of transport systems by leveraging openly available data

With unprecedented frequency, there is an increase in critical infrastructure failures as a result of climate stressors. Nevertheless, infrastructure adaptation to the changing climate is slow-not proofing our assets to future hazards. Read more

PhD post in Fluid Mechanics- Experimental modelling of plastic transport in floods

Applications are open for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London to start by October 2024 (flexible). The PhD project will tackle the transport of plastic (and other litter) during extreme flood conditions. Read more

PhD in Advanced Characterisation of Hydrogen in Alloys

Applications are open for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London. The project will involve the development of a new grain boundary engineering strategy for the design of hydrogen-resistant alloys. Read more

Novel phosphate cement chemistries and materials for safe storage of uranium-based nuclear waste

Applications are invited for a PhD scholarship funded by Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) (a subsidiary of the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority), on the project titled “Long-Term Performance of PO4-Based Backfill Cements in Repository Environments for DNLEU Disposal (PO4DNLEU)”. Read more

Predicting and preventing cyclist accidents

Supervisory Team.   Dr Ioannis Kaparias. Project description. Cycling is an increasingly popular mode of travel in cities due to the great advantages that it offers in terms of space consumption, health and environmental sustainability. Read more

Quantifying and measuring the travel time reliability of public transport trips

Supervisory Team.   Dr Ioannis Kaparias. Project description.  Travel time in transport networks is not constant, but entails an element of variability that can be an important source of time losses. Read more
