This PhD project, in association with BAE Systems, seeks to reveal and investigate novel solutions to deliver significant improvements in overall energy efficiency in maritime transport.
This project will focus on developing new, grid independent, 100% renewable energy supplied electric vehicle (EV) charging stations.
As a researcher on this project you will work at the forefront of Artificial intelligence (AI) methods to develop and test a purely AI-driven model used to simulate the propagation of flood inundation at high-performance.
This project will focus on studying the design of novel metamaterials for the reduction of aerodynamically induced large shallow cavity self-noise for next generation military aircraft.
Despite an increase in the use of CFD for predicting the forces acting on a vessel, or maritime structure, experiments still play an essential role in improving our predictions and assessing complex hydrodynamic phenomena.
Investigate the lifetime limiting effects occurring in electrospray thrusters, how they occur, and methods to alleviate them. This project will build upon the successful electrospray thruster development completed at the University of Southampton, developing one of the highest thrust electrospray thrusters in the world.
As a researcher on this project you will contribute to the development of a radar-based system, named "Radar-Pointer." This will track hand movements in a way that is both non-intrusive and secure.
This project focuses on the cutting edge of sound reproduction technology. It is relevant to broadcasting, music production and human computer interaction.
This project will synthesise and investigate different chemical modifications of oligonucleotides. Your aim will be to synthesise modified monomers and incorporate them in modified nucleic acids. You will investigate their biophysical and biological properties.
This PhD project will aim to investigate the potential of using magnetic reconnection within a plasma propulsion thruster for spacecraft, and exciting and novel topic within the field.
