PhD Project Description: This PhD position seeks to enhance our understanding of the fundamental thermo-mechanical behavior of soils subjected to temperature changes. The emphasis is on devising innovative solutions for current and future challenges in the built environment, with a specific focus on renewable energy structures like energy piles and ground heat source pumps. The study will also delve into the impact of soil-fluid-structure interaction processes, leveraging emerging sensor and imaging technologies alongside advanced data analysis methods.
Requirements: Applicants should hold an MSc/MEng (first or upper second class) in geotechnical engineering, civil engineering, engineering geology, or related disciplines. A good primary degree (First- or Second-class Honours) in a related field is essential. The ideal candidate will be highly motivated, possess excellent communication skills, and be willing to collaborate within a multidisciplinary team and with other PhD students. While experience with laboratory experiments is advantageous, we also encourage applications from individuals with theoretical, computing, or engineering backgrounds.
