Aerospace Engineering (time) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 79 Aerospace Engineering (time) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

High precision time-resolved thrust measurement and Two-dimensional plasma plume diagnostics

Supervisory Team: Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). Project description. This exciting PhD project offers a unique opportunity to develop a high precision time-resolved thrust balance and optical diagnostics to characterise the spatial distribution of plasma plume generated by a plasma thruster.

Machine Learning approaches to improve the efficiency of fluid dynamics simulations

OpenFOAM and CFD simulations are often computational expensive both in terms of resources and time. CFD codes often use explicit methods that require small time steps of the order of micro-nano seconds. Read more

Real-Time Brain Injury Prediction and Protection Framework for Intelligent Vehicles

The advancement of intelligent vehicles (IVs) has significantly improved their collision avoidance capabilities under normal driving conditions, yet the complete prevention of accidents remains elusive. Read more

Fur and Feathers: colour, structure and flow control

The objective in this exciting cross-disciplinary project is to investigate the potential of a bio-inspired coating of flexible devices to passively modify energetic modes of an unsteady crossflow and to assess, for the first time, the role of colour in determining mechanical properties. Read more

Funded Vice Chancellors Scholarships in Inclusive Engineering; People to Products (2 PhDs available)

Engineering is potentially the most important career in the world, influencing the lives of billions of people worldwide due to the enormous range of tools, equipment and products designed or created by engineers. Read more

Robotic Grasping using Dynamic Active-Pixel Vision Sensor

The main aim of this project is to develop a dynamic vision-based grasping system which can detect, track and manipulate unknown objects during a complex manufacturing or biomedical engineering processes to achieve a stable and safe manipulation in real time. 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

Utilize Martian resources for future exploration: Develop a game-changing plasma-based ISRU system

Supervisory Team.   Min Kwan Kim (80%) / Alexander Wittig (20%). Project description. This exciting PhD project offers a unique opportunity to develop a high-efficiency, all-in-one in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) system for future crewed Mars missions. 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

Improving technical efficiency in Rowing

Supervisory Team:  Dr Joseph Banks, Dr Dominic Taunton, Prof Stephen Turnock. Project description.  The sport of Rowing presents the engineer with a complex multi-physics challenge where marginal performance gains can make the difference between success and failure. Read more
