EPSRC CDT in Future Propulsion and Power Studentships

2 weeks ago


Cambridge, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time

We have funding for a number of 4-year PhDs, in collaboration with industry, on net zero propulsion and power under the following research themes:

Systems modelling of future net zero flight and energy pathways Aero-thermal design of propulsion and power technologies Thermodynamic analysis and development of net zero flight and energy cycles Data Science and multi-disciplinary modelling and optimization Novel propulsors systems and aircraft configuration Thermal systems for new propulsion systems and zero carbon fuels (including hydrogen) High pressure and high temperature turbine research for ultra-efficient jet engines Advanced modelling of particle deposition and ice accretion for next generation, ultra-efficient aviation engines Multi-physics approach to studying the complex aerodynamic and thermodynamic processes in future engines with net zero fuels Advanced numerical (CFD) and experimental techniques for the study of reacting flows.

Following completion of a taught MRes in Future Propulsion in Power at the University of Cambridge, students will then undertake a PhD at one of the partner universities; Cambridge, Loughborough and Oxford.

Studentships are fully-funded (fees and maintenance) for eligible UK students. EU and international students may be considered for a small number of awards at the UK rate. Full eligibility criteria can be found via the following link;

Applications should be submitted for the PhD in Engineering via the University of Cambridge Applicant Portal with Professor Andrew Wheeler identified as the potential supervisor.

The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.

    Decarbonizing the global economy can only be achieved by reducing the carbon intensity of energy sources. A key to achieving this is reducing the techno-economic barriers to replacing fossil fuel usage with low carbon and renewable sources. Solutions which reduce plant costs, improve plant efficiency, and increase plant flexibility with other energy sources,...
