5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Fundamental understanding on biomass application in net-zero EAF steelmaking
Summary of PhD Program:
An enthusiastic individual is being invited to join a team of researchers to work on the EPSRC (Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council) Industrial Case funded project with industrial partner Tata Steel UK. The aim of this project is to create fundamental knowledge of biomass application in EAF (Electric Arc Furnace) steelmaking, supporting the transition to net-zero steel manufacturing. Steel is an irreplaceable material in our modern life, while steel industry accounts for 7% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A variety of low emission steel manufacturing processes, including the proven EAF route, are being developed to convert the currently dominating Blast Furnace – Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) steelmaking route to low CO2 or CO2 free steelmaking route.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Battery Design for Future Electric Vehicles
Summary of PhD Program:
Significant advances have been made understanding the performance of lithium-ion batteries. However, less consideration has been given to the wider, multidisciplinary engineering challenges associated with battery design and manufacturability that will underpin the successful design of new battery systems for future electric vehicles (EVs) and aircraft. Meeting future EV requirements mandates a fundamental revaluation of how batteries are designed. WMG and Jaguar Land Rover have identified that significant innovation opportunities exist around new battery concepts that improve performance and sustainability.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Characterisation of Large Format Lithium-Ion Battery Failures
Summary of PhD Program:
WMG and Jaguar Land Rover have been researching battery safety for over 10 years. This includes the creation of novel and repeatable methods of battery failure initialisation using laser technology and the integration of sensors within lithium-ion batteries to measure internal battery states such as core temperature, gas pressure and gas composition. Much of this research is often discussed using generic terms such as “battery thermal runaway” or “battery abuse testing”.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Thermal route optimization of predictive controls to improve BEV efficiency using AI & ML
Summary of PhD Program:
Route information has significantly improved the optimization of hybrid vehicle propulsion by determining the most efficient power source for different parts of a journey. It’s commonly used for eco-coaching by influencing driving behaviour for better fuel efficiency. However, the potential for leveraging route data to optimize energy consumption in Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) has been less explored. This project introduces an innovative approach to enhance BEV Thermal Management using route-specific data, incorporating factors like vehicle speed, V2X, traffic, and weather details.
