DC Microgrids (MG) can connect various renewable generators and energy storage and play a vital role in the goal of reaching Net Zero.The overall management of a DC MG relies on reliable communication and information flow between power electronic interfaces. Dual modulation of power and data is an emerging technology for DG MGs, where data is transmitted on...

This studentship will seek to better understand the holistic development of elite junior tennis players, by establishing the technical, tactical and physical characteristics of match play and training.The findings will be used to enhance junior players' training programmes and ultimately support their transition to full-time professional tennis.This PhD...

This project aims to develop advanced optical methods for measurement within the combustion environment. The project will be conducted within the state-of-the-art NCCAT labs with a focus on delivering optical temperature measurements that are applicable to aerospace gas turbines. Successful temperature measurement would provide vital information about the...

Start date: October 2024 Project details Systems thinking and systems mapping are essential in unpacking tensions, trade-offs and dilemmas in the complex issues around digital decarbonisation and system change. As identified by the Design Council (Beyond Net Zero, 2021), effective transition to net zero and beyond requires system thinking to see how...

Shape, topology and chemistry of materials and structures are the ingredients to achieve multifunctionality. Combining mechanical and thermal, or permeability and bio-instructive properties in the same high-performance product require novel design, manufacture, and validation techniques, both in silico and experimentally. Traditionally this process takes a...

Women’s engagement in sport and exercise is heavily influenced by the stage of their menstrual cycle and appropriate support wear. Breast size, shape and sensitivity varies throughout a menstrual cycle, requiring better measurement and knowledge to define these changes and how to support women to engage in exercise. This PhD focuses on a novel measurement...

Psychological stress exposure is a risk factor for a range of long-term health conditions. A prominent, real-world and ongoing stressor is climate change, which can impact our physical and mental health and yet remains largely unexplored. As society progresses decarbonization efforts towards net zero, such efforts may also act as an inadvertent stressor for...

Over the last 10 years, researchers at Loughborough University have led a programme of research seeking to characterise the health and well-being of HGV drivers; and to develop bespoke health promotion interventions.This work led to the creation of the SHIFT programme – a Structured Health Intervention For Truckers – which focuses on enhancing physical...

Physical activity (PA) is beneficial for physical and mental health at all stages of life and becomes of critical importance from mid-life onwards, when regular engagement can help prevent or reduce age-related injuries.Many midlife women do not engage in regular physical activity and the menopause transition itself can present both physical and...
