RESEARCH ASSISTANTS & STUDENTS
We are always looking for good graduate students to work in the UTP and also sometimes
have funding for post-doctoral workers.
Workers in this well funded group are carrying out
research on aerospace systems and multi-disciplinary design optimization.
Our studentships are for three year periods leading to the award of PhD
degrees and carry an additional £2,000 p.a. bursary over and above
the normal E.P.S.R.C. rates for suitable candidates.
The research is concerned with the design of
satellite and aircraft & aeroengine
systems using state of the art computational and experimental facilities.
The aim of the research is to provide improved design methods for
dealing with systems as diverse as space stations and gas turbines. The
computational work will be based on genetic and other evolutionary
search techniques.
Further information on these opportunities can be obtained from Prof. A.J. Keane, whose
contact details are at the foot of this page.
