More details

Representation theory and Categorification (MIEMIETZV_U27EMPSFP)

Primary Supervisor. Prof Vanessa Miemietz . Categorification has led to major advances in representation theory in the last 30 years, including the proof of Broué’s abelian defect group conjecture for symmteric groups and the proof of the Kazhdan—Lusztig conjectures for all Coxeter types. . Read more
 Supervisor: Dr V Miemietz

Hybrid Cellulose–Metal Foam Phase Change Composites for Thermal Energy Storage (LANDINIS_U27EMP)

Primary Supervisor. Dr. Stefano Landini. Phase change materials (PCMs) offer compact, temperature-targeted thermal energy storage but suffer from leakage during melting, low thermal conductivity and limited mechanical robustness, which restrict their integration into practical systems. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr S Landini
 31 March 2027  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Ranks and types in positive logic (KIRBYJ_U27EMPSFP)

 Primary Supervisor. Dr Jonathan Kirby . Model theory is traditionally done with “classical first-order logic”, the logic which allows unlimited use of the operators AND, OR, NOT, with the EXISTS and FOR ALL quantifiers. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr J Kirby
 31 July 2026  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Nonlinear waves on liquid cylinders (BLYTHM_U27EMPSFP)

Primary Supervisor. Prof. Mark Blyth. Inviscid liquid jets subject to surface tension and in the absence of gravity are known to be unstable under long-wave perturbations, a phenomenon described by the classical Rayleigh–Plateau instability. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr M Blyth
 31 July 2026  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

Formalising the Local Langlands Correspondence for GL₂(F) in Lean (BIRKBECKC_U27EMPSF)

Primary Supervisor. Dr. Christopher Birkbeck . This PhD project, based at our Norwich campus, offers a unique opportunity to work at the confluence of number theory, representation theory, and formal mathematics. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr CB Birkbeck

Design Optimisation of Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (ABDIJALEBIS_U27EMPSFP2)

Brushless Doubly Fed Machines (BDFMs) are emerging as a promising technology for offshore wind turbine generators due to their fractional-sized power converters, elimination of rotor brushes and slip rings, and simplified gearbox systems compared to high-speed generators. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr S Abdi Jalebi
 31 July 2026  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More details

AI-Driven fault diagnosis for wind turbine generators (ABDIJALEBIS _U27EMPSFP1)

Primary supervisor - Dr Abdi Jalebi Salman. Reliability is critical to the continued expansion of wind power, particularly for offshore installations, which already contribute around 10-15% of the UK’s electricity and are central to achieving net-zero targets and ensuring the resilience of national grid infrastructure.
