About the Project
Applications are invited for two funded PhD studentships for the project titled “Manufacturing, characterization, and recycling of nano-particle reinforced metal composites for extreme environments” in the Sustainable Physical Metallurgy group at the University of Birmingham. The group is well-equipped with state-of-the-art materials characterization and metal fabrication equipment. You can find more information about the group via our website: biaocailab.com.
The aim of the project is to design, manufacture and test nanoparticles strengthened metal composites using an approach combining simulation, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials characterization including the use of the neutron and synchrotron facilities. You will also consider the recycling and life cycle analysis of such composite materials during your PhD. Two PhD studentships are available on this topic. You will have chances to engage with our industry partners (e.g. internships), work as a teaching assistant at the University and present your work at international conferences.
We are looking to recruit graduates with a first or high 2.1 class honours degree or its international equivalent with a background in materials science, mechanical engineering, chemistry, or a related discipline. If you wish to discuss the project, please contact Dr Biao Cai, b.cai@bham.ac.uk
Funding Notes
We are looking to recruit graduates with a first or high 2.1 class honours degree or its international equivalent with a background in materials science, mechanical engineering, chemistry, or a related discipline. For UK and international students, full home/overseas tuition fees and a stipend of £18,622 tax-free per annum for up to 3.5 years.
