About the project
This PhD project will explore and develop smart structures, which integrate advanced sensing, actuation and control, with the overall aim of controlling noise and vibration in practical engineering structures prevalent in automotive, maritime and aerospace applications.
Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of engineering research with a focus on smart structures – potentially covering topics including sensing, actuation, smart materials, control, signal processing, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI), acoustics, vibration, signal processing, numerical modelling, design optimisation and Multiphysics problems?
Are you interested in developing cutting-edge technologies that offer high-performance and lightweight solutions that directly support sustainability?
Would you like to develop your skills as a researcher and kick-start a career in engineering innovation within a dynamic, supportive and collaborative team?
We are offering a fully-funded PhD studentship, with enhanced financial support from a large industrial partner, to pursue doctoral research in the broad area of Smart Structures as part of a large project jointly funded by the Royal Academy of Engineering.
The project will be carried out using a range of numerical and experimental techniques and provide the successful candidate with significant opportunities to develop a variety of research and engineering skills relevant to careers in both academia and industry.
You will also benefit from inclusion in the new MOD/EPSRC CDT in Complex Integrated Systems for Defence & Security, which offers significant opportunities for interdisciplinary working, collaboration and networking.
