High Performance Distributed Simulation: creating a Virtually Connected Distributed Hybrid Vehicle (VCHV) that is geographically distributed over the UK

In choosing the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Embedded Intelligence at Loughborough for your research, you’ll work alongside academics who are leaders in their field. You will benefit from a four-year studentship award that includes an enhanced EPSRC tax-free annual stipend of at least £18,500 per annum and UK/EU tuition fees. Furthermore, each student benefits from a personal training budget of £10,000 in addition to a research budget and support from academic members of staff and industrial partners.

Loughborough University aims to ensure equality for men and women. We follow the principles of the Athena SWAN Charter by wishing to attract, support, and reward women in STEMM at all career stages.

Project Detail:
Joining a growing research group within the Department of Automotive and Aeronautical Engineering at Loughborough University this project is an exciting opportunity to develop state-of-the art simulation technology for future advanced automotive propulsion systems.
This project is a high profile, national project that includes a team of researchers co-located across several UK universities and research organisations. The overall aim is to create a Virtually Connected Distributed Hybrid Vehicle (VCHV) that is geographically distributed over the UK. A key focus of this fully sponsored PhD is on the development of simulation capability on a national scale that includes computational cognitive intelligence and high-performance simulation.
