Hybrid Technologies for Battery Thermal Management Using Smart Materials

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with many advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, wide range of operating temperature, and low self-discharge rates. Read more

Bio-inspired Systems, Neuromorphic Hardware, Unconventional Computing

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Applicants are invited in one, or a combination of, the following areas. Bio-inspired Systems. Wonders in Nature, including our own brains, have fascinated scientists and en- gineers for decades if not centuries. Read more

Optoelectronic chromatic dispersion in photodiodes: Physics and applications in optical sensing and spectroscopy

We are developing a new class of miniaturized optical sensors based on a groundbreaking technology that we have developed. We have discovered that standard PN-junction photodiodes possess huge effective chromatic dispersion, which we call optoelectronic chromatic dispersion (OED). Read more

Search for new physics with LHC data and developing ultra-fast silicon detectors

We have one fully-funded place for a new PhD student to join our LHCb team, working in the particle physics group at the University of Birmingham, exploring the latest LHC data collected with the LHCb experiment. Read more

Vapour Deposited Perovskites for High Performance Multi-Junction Photovoltaic Devices

Metal-halide perovskite based solar cells have now achieved a light to electricity conversion efficiency of 26.1%, making them the leading emerging thin-film solar cell material. Read more

Solid polymer electrolytes for batteries and smart windows PhD

This research aims at development of solid polymer electrolytes for next-generation batteries and electrochromic smart windows. Batteries and smart windows are one of key technologies to improve energy efficiency and enable net-zero economies. Read more

Sustainable active materials for next-generation lithium-free batteries PhD

This research aims at discovery and development of novel active materials for next-generation lithium-free batteries. Net-zero economies require high-capacity batteries to enable clean transportation and store renewable energy. Read more

Quantum phenomena and energy conversion in two-dimensional materials nanostructures

The new PhD project in fundamental and applied physics is announced at Lancaster University Quantum Technologie Centre (LQTC) https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/quantum-technology/research/quantum-nanomechanics/… Read more

Technologies for optogenetic neural interfacing

The ability to express light-sensitive proteins (opsins) in neurons, in a genetically-targeted fashion, has helped transform our understanding of how the brain functions. Read more

Photo-chemical adaptive integrated circuits for next generation neuromorphic computing

Neuromorphic computing, i.e., an approach to information processing inspired in basic morphology and working principles of the brain, is a rapidly growing area of research due to the availability of high-speed hardware and need for artificial intelligence (AI) systems across a wide range of applications. Read more

Neuromorphic photonic-electronic integrated circuits for fast and efficient SPIKE-based information PROcessing (SPIKEPRO)

The human brain is exceptional at performing highly complex tasks fast and efficiently. Hence, neuromorphic (brain-like) information processing is receiving increasing research interest for use in novel computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI) hardware. Read more

New, nanoscale insights into perovskite solar cells for clean energy solutions

To mitigate the worst impacts of climate change we need to switch to renewable, low-carbon electricity and we need to be able to store and transport this energy to ensure it can be accessed by all. Read more

PhD in Engineering - Chip Scale Optical Frequency Combs

The James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow and the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) are seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake an exciting 3.5-year PhD project entitled “Chip Scale Optical Frequency Combs”. Read more

UCL SECReT: The International Training Centre for Security and Crime Research Degrees

UCL's Security Science Doctoral Research Training Centre (UCL SECReT) was founded in 2009 with support from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (ESRC) and an array of public and private sector organisations working in crime reduction security and law enforcement. Read more

PhD in Electronics and Nanoscale Engineering - Active Photonic Resonator Thermometry (Quantum Thermometry)

Temperature is one of the most familiar measurable quantities that influences our lives. It is also a key quantity controlling biochemical processes, for example in the body, or in the manufacture of chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Read more

Levitating electron spin qubits on solid neon

Levitating electrons on noble gases are a promising system for scalable quantum information processing, where the exquisitely clean environment allows for… Read more

Correlating Local Defects to Global Wafer Properties in Next Generation Semiconductor Platforms

  Research Group: School of Chemical and Process Engineering
Societal recognition of the criticality of semiconductor-technology arises from national initiatives, public debate around sovereign supply and the central role of the sector in delivering net zero. Read more
