1. Fully Funded PhD Position in structural steels sections
Summary of PhD Program:
Steel line pipes are widely used in energy sector for onshore and offshore oil and gas transportation. The products are produced from strip by forming and welding to shape. Due to the range of potentially harsh environments, there is a need for higher strength and improved toughness especially on welded part in these products, particularly with considerations for CO2and H2 transportation to meet the future energy sector needs. This project will consider the microstructure development during the high frequency induction welding process, using both modelling and experimental methods, to determine the microstructure – property relationships and if the full pipe body tempering heat treatment post welding can be eliminated, giving cost, energy and CO2 savings.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Behaviours of Nitrogen
Summary of PhD Program:
An enthusiastic individual is being invited to join a team of researchers to work on the Warwick Industrial Fellowship funded project sponsored by Tata Steel in the Netherlands. By adopting hydrogen and renewable electricity based green steelmaking, Tata Steel in the Netherlands has committed to reducing its CO2 emissions with 35 – 40% by 2030 and being CO2-neutral by 2045. The aim of this project is to create fundamental knowledge of nitrogen behaviour under future green steelmaking scenarios to support steel industry decarbonisation.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Elastomer Nanocomposites
Summary of PhD Program:
EU regulation has placed an imperative on the development of alternatives for rubbers containing fluorine in critical applications, key requirements such as radiation resistance, low permeability, high and low temperature capability, have challenged the current elastomer technologies. This project aims to develop novel elastomer nanocomposites by exploring functional nanoparticles and new elastomer chemistry for high performance rubber sealing systems. The surface chemistry of nanoparticles and interface characterisation with elastomer will be studied, the structure-property-processing relationship of the rubber nanocomposites will be investigated through a suite of advanced technologies, such as atomic force microscopy, wide-angle X-ray scattering, rheology, and dynamic mechanochemical characterisation. The project will lead to high-performance rubber seal technology via industrial-compatible manufacturing processes. The aim is to develop new intellectual property that is ready for commercialisation.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in hydrogen economy
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to understand better the controlling mechanisms behind microscopic damage and develop a predictive model for polymer composites subject to high-pressure hydrogen exposure, by combining advanced experiments with theory. Particularly, a suitable Machine Learning approach will be utilized to analyse experimental data obtained from advanced microscopy such as X-ray computed tomography (CT), to develop a combined mechanistic and data-driven modelling methodology describing the material microdamage process. This will form the basis for an improved theory and predictive models of composite behaviour in high-pressure hydrogen environments.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Metasurfaces for Microwave Devices
Summary of PhD Program:
We are seeking exceptional candidates with a passion for interdisciplinary research in the fields of Physics, Engineering, and Materia Science for a fully funded 3.5-year PhD research project. This exciting research project aims to develop beam-steering programmable metasurfaces capable of controlling electromagnetic waves in the microwave frequency range. The project focuses on the spatial control of the refractive index using external stimuli, such as temperature, to achieve precise beam-steering capabilities. The metasurfaces will be designed and fabricated using advanced materials, including relaxor ferroelectrics with unique properties suitable for this application.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Automotive Vehicles
Summary of PhD Program:
Electrification and Lightweighting are key areas of interest for the automotive industry, driven by the goal of reducing carbon emissions to meet legislative and societal requirements, the phasing out of IC engines and the general drive towards Net Zero. However, the materials required to achieve these are heavily reliant on more advanced materials such as carbon fibre composites, rare earths or specifically engineered metallic alloys that are carbon intensive in terms of their manufacturing and ecological questionable in terms of their sourcing. Previously, although these concerns have been recognised, it was felt that the benefits outweighed the environmental and economic costs of their use.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Lithium-Ion Batteries
Summary of PhD Program:
This fully funded PhD studentship represents a unique opportunity to undertake advanced experimental research in close partnership with AMETEK Inc. Recent collaborative research undertaken by WMG and AMETEK has successfully demonstrated the feasibility of using new frequency response methods to characterise automotive batteries and diagnose their state of health (SOH). The ability to quantify battery SOH is a pre-requisite for the successful commercialisation of battery systems within electric vehicles and other sectors.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Battery Materials
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project extensive use will be made of this new system to develop strategies for studying the degradation of buried interfaces and structure dynamics in state-of-the-art high Ni NMC cathodes as a function of cycle ageing i.e. the evolution of the CEI. The system provides some unique opportunities for developing powerful new ways to characterise these controlling interfaces and this will form the basis of this project.
