Mechanical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Southampton

We have 67 Mechanical Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Southampton

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). Read more

Artificial Optical Nervous System

Supervisory Team: Ali Masoudi & Gilberto Brambilla. Project description. The study of the mechanical properties of any large, complex structures such as a space launch vehicle or Earth’s crust relies on a large array of sophisticated and, often, expensive sensors. Read more

Improving technical efficiency in Rowing

Supervisory Team:  Dr Joseph Banks, Dr Dominic Taunton, Prof Stephen Turnock. Project description.  The sport of Rowing presents the engineer with a complex multi-physics challenge where marginal performance gains can make the difference between success and failure. Read more

Monitoring and evaluation of composite pipes using structural waves

Supervisory Team.   Dr Michal Kalkowski, Prof Michele Meo. Project description. We invite applications for a PhD position in the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of composite pipes. Read more

Exploring Advanced Materials for Mitigating Cavitation Damage

Supervisory Team.   Ivo Peters. Project description. Cavitation damage poses a substantial threat to equipment across various industries, impacting performance, increasing maintenance costs, causing downtime, and posing safety and environmental risks. Read more

Water lubricated compressor bearings

Supervisory Team:  Robert Wood, Julian Wharton and Ahmed Kovacevic (City, Uni of London). Project description. Compressors consume energy, but their use in mechanical vapour recompression (MVR) and heat pumps will continue to play an important role that contributes towards Carbon Neutrality in society. Read more

Computational aerodynamics of high speed flow over rough surfaces

Supervisory Team.   Neil Sandham. Project description. You will join a group of PhD students and post-doctoral researchers using high performance computing to advance understanding of high speed aerodynamics. Read more

Sustainable production of lithium using battery materials

Supervisory Team.   Prof Richard Wills, Prof. Nuria Garcia-Araez. Project description. The accelerating growth of the battery market requires major advances in the production of lithium for the supply of materials to manufacture the batteries. Read more

Thermo-electric materials for tab cooling of advanced batteries

Supervisory Team.   Prof Richard Wills, Dr Iris Nandhakumar. Project description. Effective thermal management of lithium-based battery systems is important for optimising cell efficiency, reducing cell degradation and preventing catastrophic failure. Read more
