PhD Studentship: Hydrogen transport processes in underground geological storage and the surrounding environment
Award summary . 100% fees covered for four years and a minimum tax-free annual living allowance of £19,237 (2024/25 UKRI rate). Read more
Advancing Trigeneration Recovery Efficient Energy Storage (TREES) Technology for multi-vector sustainable energy systems
Advancing Trigeneration Recovery Efficient Energy Storage (TREES) Technology for multi-vector sustainable energy systems. Read more
Multiscale modelling and analysis of battery temperatures and degradation
The project. When a lithium-ion battery pack is charged or discharged, heat is generated nonuniformly within the cells and modules that make up the battery pack, leading to heterogeneous temperature changes. Read more
Machine learning the dynamics of force-sensing proteins
Mechanosensing proteins detect mechanical forces within cells and convert them into biochemical signals. Understanding the dynamic behaviour of these proteins under force is key for advancing our understanding of this process called mechanotransduction. Read more
Quantum Materials as Sensors
This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton (https://qte.ac.uk/). Read more
Bioengineering informed design of military protective clothing and equipment.
To support the rapid advance of protective equipment such as technical clothing, there is a need for improving the understanding of how these devices fit a range of individuals and protect them, across a wide range of user variability in body sizes and shapes, across dimensions including gender and ethnicity.

PhD Studentship - Process Industries: Net Zero 3D Heat Pipe Technology
This PhD project will develop next generation 3D Heat Pipes, to maximise thermal transport efficiency within advanced electronics for space and terrestrial applications. . Read more
Research on flexible heat pump technology
In the UK, heat constitutes about half of energy consumption. The government plans to install 19 million heat pumps in homes over the coming decades to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Read more
Digital twin of heat pumps integrated with thermal energy storage
Electrification of heating supply will have massive impacts on the electricity grid. A highly electrified heating sector may cause large demand transient and peaks/troughs when many heat pumps are switched near-simultaneously, potentially destabilising the operation of networks. Read more
Machine learning methods for modelling and optimising CO2 heat pumps
Heat represents nearly half of the world's energy consumption and contributes to almost 40% of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. Read more

This PhD project advances deep learning for turbulence modeling in combustion. Using CNNs and GANs, it tackles challenges in data demands and generalization. Read more
Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems
This PhD project, in association with BAE Systems, seeks to reveal and investigate novel solutions to deliver significant improvements in overall energy efficiency in maritime transport. Read more
Increasing the efficiency of high voltage transmission cable circuits through the use of thermosyphons.
Research Group:
Electrical Power Engineering
As a research project within the Doctoral Centre for Advanced Electrical Power Engineering this thesis will consider the potential use of thermosyphon technology to passively reduce high voltage cable temperatures at know hotspots in a cable circuit (such a cable tunnel risers or shafts). Read more
