aviation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 55 aviation PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

EPSRC supported EngD. Advancing modular computational fluid modelling techniques to aid the rapid development and scale-up of carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies

In a world facing climate crisis, it is vital to develop new ways to mitigate climate change. This project, funded by Origen Carbon Solutions, focuses on the modelling and optimisation of innovative Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and Direct Air Capture (DAC) technologies. Read more

CDT-QTE: Quantum topology optimisation for aerospace design

Supervisory Team. Prof Ali Elham. Project description. This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Nonlinear Aerostructural Optimisation of Boundary Layer Ingesting Fan

Supervisory Team. Prof. Ali Elham, Dr. Jie Yuan. Project description. To meet the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, aviation (~3% of human global CO2 emissions) must do its share. Read more

Hot corrosion studies of gas turbine alloy materials PhD

This is a self-funded PhD position to work with Dr Adnan Syed in the Surface Engineering and Precision Centre. The PhD project will focus studying high temperature corrosion mechanisms in details to identify the material degradation and coatings applications details in extreme environments. Read more

Computational investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of a morphing wing configuration

Smart structures technology, particularly the bio-inspired morphing and multifunctional wing architectures are among the most promising technologies for the improvement of aerodynamic performance in large civil aircraft. Read more

Development of a Design Synthesis Methodology Appropriate to the Conceptual Design of 6th Generation Combat Aircraft PhD

This PhD topic relates tool development appropriate to the conceptual design of 6th generation combat aircraft. The research will explore relevant feature modelling and progress to explore the design space of this class of vehicle. Read more

Valorisation of wet biomass wastes with carbon dioxide for sustainable fuel productions

The global wet organic waste production increases over years. It is recognised that the development of alternative, cleaner sources of fuels from wet biomass waste can help to secure energy sources and address environmental challenges. Read more

Understanding Fischer-Tropsch catalysts by in-situ spectroscopy

This PhD project is an exciting opportunity to apply and develop the cutting-edge characterisation techniques available at the University of Manchester, working with bp as industrial partners to help solve one of the biggest challenges in the transition to Net Zero. Read more

Fatigue Risk Management in Healthcare: A Wake-Up Call

Supervisory Team: Prof Mark Young (FEPS), Dr Chiara Dall’Ora (FELS). Project description. Do you have expertise and enthusiasm for human factors in healthcare? Do you want to carry out research that could have real benefits for staff and patient safety?. Read more

Multi-Three-Phase Drives for Electric Transport

The popularity of power electronic drives used to control electrical machines is increasing, pushed by both the surge of renewable energy generation and the ongoing electrification of transport. Read more
