Solid-state Additive Manufactured oxide dispersion-strengthened Magnesium alloys for Aerospace Applications
The aim pf this project is to enhance the performance of Mg alloys in extreme space environments by improving their high-temperature strength, radiation resistance, and overall durability. . Read more
Unravelling the Mechanism of Turbulence Suppression in Magneto-convection Pipe Flow (S3.5-MAC-Marensi)
The project combines state-of-the-art advanced mathematical tools and numerical simulations to better understand, model and predict turbulent flows for applications to fusion technology and the clean-energy sector. Read more
A Novel Process Monitoring Solution for Composite Manufacturing (C4-AMR-Kerrigan)
While significant advancements have been made in composite part manufacturing, such as in producing large scale wind turbine blades, there remains a significant opportunity to enhance the precision and efficiency of the process. Read more
Innovative Cooling using Magnetic Liquid for High Power Density Electrical Machines (S3.5-ELE-Li)
Electrical machines are central to our daily lives, powering everything from household appliances to industrial machinery. They are responsible for more than 99% of global electricity generation and over 50% of electricity consumption. Read more
PhD in Mechanical Engineering - Performance of deep closed loop geothermal systems in unconventional settings
This is an EPSRC Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Engineering (ICASE) training grant, with industrial partner Schlumberger Cambridge Research Limited. Read more
Development of ignition systems for energy systems
There have been consistent efforts in developing more fast and efficient combustion. Microwave discharges are widely used for plasma-assisted ignition of air/fuel mixtures. Read more
Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Compressed descriptors of damage microstructures in fusion materials
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. Structural materials in a tokamak fusion reactor are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, stresses, and radiation damage during their operation. Read more
Development of novel model to predict the lifespan of metallic components for application in hydrogen-powered engines/generators (RDF25/EE/MCE/ZHANG)
Hydrogen is an important renewable fuel owing to its high energy content and no carbon dioxide emission [1], which can significantly contribute to the UK Governments ‘2050 net-zero target’, if it is widely utilised in engines/generators. Read more
Rapid internal heating of Lithium-ion batteries
This PhD will explore methods of rapidly heating battery cells to operational temperature, including theoretical analysis and a strong element of experimentation. Read more
New processes to enable X in the loop simulations for the reduction of vehicle prototypes
X in the loop (XiL) methods are an approach of system simulation whereby part of the system is physical hardware, operating on a test bench and the other part is a simulation running on a computer. Read more
Innovative design of sustainable aeroengines: optimised cooling for the next generation
Safran provides the world’s leading airframers with innovative and reliable propulsion systems. Efforts today focus on decreasing fuel consumption and maintenance costs, while designing more eco-responsible systems. Read more
