EPSRC iCASE Studentship

A fully paid PhD studentship is offered at the Cambridge University Engineering Department in the area of nuclear reactor core analysis methods development. It is offered under Industrial Cooperative Awards in Science & Technology (iCASE) scheme of the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) in collaboration with EDF Energy, the owner...

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,...

Within the construction industry, there are established legacy processes which predate the digital age. These processes facilitate the delivery of projects and collate documentation for future reference. However, often, data is collected without structure or digitisation which hinders value creation from knowledge management and does not allow for big data...

We have funding for a number of 4-year PhDs, in collaboration with industry, as part of our EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero (FIBE3 CDT), under the four following themes: Current and disruptive technologies Circularity and whole life approach Risk-based systems thinking and connectivity...

We have funding for a number of 4-year PhDs, in collaboration with industry, on net zero infrastructure and built environment under the four following themes: Current and disruptive technologies Circularity and whole life approach AI, digitalisation and data Risk-based systems thinking and connectivity Studentships are fully-funded (fees and...

This full-time project is funded in collaboration with Ordnance Survey, geospatial experts who create, maintain and distribute detailed location information for Great Britain. Project Details: Within the built environment, a digital twin is a realistic digital representation of assets, processes, and systems. An ecosystem of connected digital twins which...

The project is funded in collaboration with ARUP, a professional services firm with a focus on the built environment and expertise in strategy, design, planning and engineering. By 2035, UK's building stock is expected to deliver 63% reduction in total carbon emissions from 2019 levels. These reductions will have to come from a combination of altering...

By 2035, UK's building stock is expected to deliver 78% reduction in total carbon emissions from 2019 levels. Implementation of effective retrofits that yield both embodied and operational energy savings is thus critical. Glazing systems constitute a key element of a building as they are essential for a visual, safe, and thermally comfortable indoor...

Applications are invited for a Programme Manager to take overall responsibility for the administration of the grants and associated human, physical and digital resources of the Construction Information Technology (CIT) Group led by Professor Ioannis Brilakis. The Programme Manager is supported by, and line manages, a Programme Coordinator as well as a...

Applications are invited for a PhD student to work on developing computer architecture for quantum computers, under the supervision of Dr. Prakash Murali. Quantum computers hold immense potential for applications that can revolutionise society, including domains such as drug design, agriculture, climate change and more. To cater to applications in these...
