PhD Studentship: EPSRC Supported EngD: Prediction of Flow and Mixing of Rheologically Complex Fluids

This is an interdisciplinary CENTRE-UB PhD Studentship hosted in the Department of Music at the University of Birmingham. Listening to rhythmic music, produces the urge to move your body to the beat. This phenomenon occurs in infants who are too young to be in complete control of their movements, and in adults with severe memory deficits caused by dementia....

Surface cleaning is a key and fundamental process in many domestic and industrial applications. Despite considerable amount of research on cleaning, there exists some knowledge gaps about the microscale interactions between cleaning agents and foulants on the surface. This project aims to develop a computational framework to describe and model the microscale...

Are you an outstanding and ambitious engineering graduate or postgraduate looking for the next challenge? Do you want to become an expert in robotics and human-machine interaction in one of the UK's leading robotics research institutions?We are looking for a first-class PhD student who wants to push the boundaries of human-robot collaboration and help people...

Geotechnical, tunnelling and mining industries are constantly challenged by problematic soils with low strength, both high expansivity (swell shrink) and high collapsibility behaviours, and a suite of other challenging engineering behaviours. As such these soils continue to cause several infrastructure failures and geohazards globally, with associated human...

A great opportunity has arisen at the University of Birmingham and Abbott DBC to undertake an industry-led PhD project in the area of continuous glucose monitoring systems durability. Background: Continuous glucose sensors have become a key component in Type 1 diabetes management. However, some reports have suggested their usability is limited by the impact...

Applications are invited for a 3.5-year PhD studentship to evaluate the passenger experience for Advanced Air Mobility aircraft. This research will be carried out within the flight safety research group led by Dr Michael Bromfield whose research is focused on safe, sustainable and socially responsible future aviation. This PhD project is expected to start in...

Quantum computing offers efficient implementation of an important class of algorithms for which their classical counterparts suffer from an exponential growth of computational costs with system size. In recent years, great strides have been made in building quantum computing platforms using arrays of ultracold neutral atoms where quantum states in individual...

The terahertz band (100 GHz to 10 THz) lies in-between the frequency range of traditional electronics and optics. This band will form the basis for future 6G communications and is currently getting prominence in trace molecular sensing due to the existence of unique terahertz fingerprints of molecules and the non-invasive, non-ionising nature of terahertz...

The formulation of emulsions for beverage applications has long been employed for cream liqueurs and flavour delivery systems. Dispersing a hydrophobic phase into an aqueous medium typically relies on the use of emulsification techniques having inherently high CO2 footprints stemming from both the processing methods and ingredients used. Commonly utilised...

Protonic ceramics represent an emergent class of materials that have potential utility in several intermediate-temperature electrochemical applications, including the production of "green" hydrogen. Renewable-derived electricity can be used to drive steam electrolysis to form H2 and O2 products in a proton-conducting ceramic electrolyser (PCCEL). However,...

No7 Beauty Company have a need to develop lab suitable methods and techniques that allow the assessment of the performance of skin care formulations without needing to test on human volunteers.Testing prototype formulations on human volunteers is the most accurate way to benchmark efficacy and in market performance but it is costly and time consuming and...

Navigating through various environmental challenges presents a risk for autonomous platforms like cars, drones, aircrafts and boats. This danger ranges from obstructing visibility (either human or sensors) to causing damage to the vehicles. Detection of these environments and obstacles ahead is vital for the safety of future autonomous platforms,...

Structural materials in nuclear power plants are commonly operating at elevated temperatures in aggressive local environments and complex mechanical stress conditions. The upper temperature limit for the safe operation of a given reactor material or component is dictated primarily by its resistance against thermal creep, i.e. the increasing material's...
