The Institute for Energy Systems, School of Engineering, at the University of Edinburgh, is inviting applications for the following fully-funded PhD project, expected to commence on 1st September 2024.This advert may close early if a suitable candidate is identified. Early application is therefore encouraged.Project Background:Join the frontier of zero...

A major challenge for defence & security laser systems is managing the heat generated and differential thermal expansion of the different components in the system. A compounding challenge is the vast range of ambient temperatures in which these systems need to operate without thermal distortion. However, additive manufacturing gives the unique opportunity to...

The advent of Industry 4.0 has ushered in a new era of manufacturing, marked by the integration of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and digital twins. This research project will investigate the methodologies and technologies necessary to create an accurate and dynamic digital twin that reflects the...

A wide spectrum of target thermoplastic materials can be manufactured by tailoring polymer blends to achieve particular combinations of end-user performance (e.g. mechanical, electrical, structural support) properties, important in various industrial sectors, especially in extreme-condition environments. These polymeric material classes include the widely...

Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.For example, when analysed at the micron-scale, biological membranes can be treated as continuum objects that deform regulated by effective properties such as curvature mismatch or active forces. Those...

BackgroundIn recent years, theatre-makers have experimented widely with how to record and distribute live performance through digital media and platforms. Since the return of live, staged performances, profound questions remain about the role, opportunities, business models and implications of digitally-mediated theatre, and the ways in which theatres do –...

Fixed term: 18 monthsFull time: 35 hours per weekThe Opportunity:We are seeking a postgraduate research associate to join the GEMINI+ Edinburgh project (Greenhouse gas Emissions Monitoring network to Inform Net-zero Initiatives) at the University of Edinburgh. Understanding the flux of carbon dioxide on a city scale is vital to inform targeted polices aimed...

Efficient spray atomization plays a notable role in society, ranging from effective medical delivery, to product manufacturing, to cleaner propulsion systems. Primary breakup – the process of disintegrating an intact liquid core into large droplets, called primary drops – is the first consequential first step of atomization, but is also the least well...

The projections of sea level rise show that UK sea level will continue to rise well beyond 2100, even under scenarios where future temperature rise is stopped. Extreme sea level events are also expected to become more frequent in the future and occurring about 20 to 30 times more frequently by the year 2050, according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

The Opportunity:This position will involve the design and development of a robotic platform for a set of promising clinical robotic applications. The position is full-time for 1 years, with possibility of extension for another year. Strong background in mechanical design, mechatronics, and system integration skills. The successful candidate will work with a...

Unreinforced masonry (URM) load-bearing walls were commonly used in historic buildings but are weak in shear and vulnerable to cracking and damage during seismic events. Structural engineers often need to study and design solutions to improve the structural response of shear walls. To strengthen them, mortar coatings reinforced with composite (carbon, glass,...

Full-time, 35 hours per week Fixed-Term, 3 years in first instance with possibility of extension.The Opportunity:Join the Hasel Lab as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Edinburgh Centre for Discovery Brain Sciences and UK Dementia Research Institute (see ) to explore how astrocytes at the borders of the brain contribute to brain function and dysfunction...

The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites applications for a postdoc to undertake novel research at the intersection of computer vision and machine learning. The candidate will be based in Visual Computing Group ) and will be supervised by Dr. Hakan Bilen. There will be many collaborative opportunities both within the school as well as with...

Summary: This research proposal addresses challenges in the UK's construction industry, focusing on sustainability & safety. It aims to develop machine learning models that combine data from similar infrastructure and integrate information from previous inspections to predict potential problems. The models will also account for the impact of changing climate...

Food texture is related to the way our senses perceive and feel the rheological and mechanical properties of edible substances. E.g., a potato chip is crispy; an apple is crunchy; butter is soft; bread is firm; candy is hard; yogurt is smooth; cream is thick; cake is moist, and honey is sticky. Food texture is critical for the consumer and impacts on a...
