Aerospace Engineering (power system) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 16 Aerospace Engineering (power system) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

A Superconducting Brushless Exciter for High-power Density Electrical Machines

Background. The ability of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials to carry large current densities with little or no resistance makes them attractive for providing large rotor magnetic fields in high-power density superconducting electrical machines. Read more

Explainable AI for Safety Critical Engineering Systems

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The University of York is at the forefront of transformative research in data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI. Our pioneering work is revolutionizing the design of complex systems by harnessing the power of data. Read more

Investigation of green bipropellant chemical propulsion systems

Supervisory Team: Dr Charlie Ryan, Dr Ralf Deiterding. PhD Supervisor: Charlie Ryan. Project description. For the past 50 years the dominant rockets used in space have been hydrazine based chemical thrusters. Read more

Harnessing waste-heat from challenging environments with flexible electronics, sponsored by BAE Systems

Supervisory Team. Dr Katrina Morgan, Dr Ioannis Zeimpekis, Prof Nick Harris, Prof Steve Beeby. Project description. This PhD is a sought after industrial Cooperative Award in Science and Techology (iCASE), with sponsorship from BAE Systems Ltd. Read more

On Analysis and Design of Submerged Wave Energy Devices

We invite applications for a Ph.D. position in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The project aims in analyzing new generation of wave energy devices that are fully submerged, namely an Oscillating Submerged Disc, and a Wave Carpet. Read more

Concept Mission Design for Hex-Sats to detect biological agents from VLEO

Supervisory Team:  Dr Alexander Wittig, Dr Minkwan Kim. Project description. In this PhD, we will develop a complete mission concept for satellites to detect the release of biological agents on the ground through constant monitoring from space. Read more

Passive propulsion in vortex wakes

Supervisory Team. Melike Kurt, Nicholas Townsend, and Gabriel Weymouth. Project description. Dead fish can generate propulsion force in the wake of a cylinder and whales can save energy by following large ship wakes. Read more

Development of Hybrid Solar Concentrator for Hydrogen Production.

Green hydrogen production is one of the promising technologies in the field of power generation. Recently, hydrogen has received the attention worldwide as the sustainable fuel of the future. Read more

Energy Storage Modelling

Supervisory Team.   Prof Andrew Cruden, Prof Richard Wills, Prof Suleiman Sharkh. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD studentship to investigate the electrical, thermal and economic modelling of a range of electrical energy storage types (e.g. Read more

Convective heat-transfer in turbulent boundary layers

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and Sean Symon. Project description. The electrification of aircraft as an enabler for achieving our Net-Zero ambitions has been increasingly studied in recent years. Read more

Advanced Processing Methods for Long Baseline Multistatic Radars for Space Situational Awareness

Since their inception, ground-based Space Situational Awareness (SSA) systems, also known as Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), primarily utilise radar sensors due to their ability to operate in very long ranges and under various atmospheric conditions while also providing very accurate range measurements.
