1. Fully Funded PhD Position in biosensors
Summary of PhD Program:
Biomarkers have been widely used in clinical trials for the baseline risk assessment and diagnosis of diseases. Their expression level has been closely related to the disease progression. Electrochemical biosensors are one type of self-contained integrated device, which is capable of providing specific quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information. They can provide convenient and cost-effective determination of disease biomarkers with high sensitivity and selectivity. Many electrochemical biosensors have been developed for biomarker analysis in complex bio-environments like living cells and serum.

4. 02 Fully Funded PhD Position in High Fidelity Atomic Entanglement
Summary of PhD Program:
Scaling up quantum technology systems based on laser cooled atoms or ions depends not only on chip-scale components for trapping, but also on accurate means for high-fidelity coherent control. Teams at NPL & Strathclyde have demonstrated entangled systems based on trapped ions and Rydberg atoms respectively. While different, these systems share similar challenges to achieving high fidelity of the requisite processes including coherent control and state readout using optical interrogation techniques. For example, deficiencies in the noise spectrum of lasers for coherent operations lead to infidelities in both systems; yet the techniques to quantify noise contributions, such as those developed by NPL, are common.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in balance electricity systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The proposed research in this PhD project builds on an existing collaboration with the National Grid ESO’s Electricity National Control Centre (ENCC) where a decision-support tool is collaboratively developed to enable ENCC to use a very large number of units to balance electricity demand and generation in real-time operation of the system. The decision-support tool is based on a mathematical programming model where various constraints of dispatch electricity generators to meet demand are expressed mathematically. While the tool provides theoretical guarantees of converging to an optimal solution, the computational times to reach a solution may be very large. Given the nature of real-time balancing of the British system, there is a desire to reduce the computational time and be able to manage the accuracy versus time trade-off.
Application Deadline: Open until filled
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Robotic Automated Inspection
Summary of PhD Program:
Quality assurance during manufacture, combined with asset monitoring through service life, can together help to extract maximum useful life (whilst maintaining safety margins) from major engineering components used for example, in aircraft, sea-going vessels and renewable energy structures. The role of NDT (non-destructive testing) is central to such quality assurance, with NDT now being routinely built into the digital-twin approaches to lifecycle engineering employed in industry 4.0 manufacturing using advanced robotics.

Application Deadline: 1 October 2023
11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Suction Caisson Behaviour
Summary of PhD Program:
Suction caissons are a type of foundation commonly used to support offshore wind turbines in deep waters. They are installed by pumping water out of the caisson to create a ‘suction pressure’ (i.e. negative pressure relative to the ambient pressure) inside. Pressure cycling, which involves the cycling of the suction pressure, is often used to continue caisson penetration into the seabed when constant suction pressure is not effective. However, there is currently no method for predicting caisson penetration under pressure cycling, which can lead to significant uncertainty. There is also a critical lack of understanding of the potential effects of pressure cycling on the subsequent in-service performance of the caisson.
Application Deadline: 30 October 2023
12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Nuclear Components
Summary of PhD Program:
Traditionally, welding and inspection of high-integrity joints are separate, sequential, often manual processes in manufacturing and repair. Ultimately, these limitations reduce productivity, throughput, schedule certainty and increase rework if defects are detected at weld completion. As welding is a dynamic volumetric process, fusing joints of depth and width, this project seeks to exploit the volumetric imaging capability of ultrasonics, and introduce this inspection modality directly into the welding process control loop. By investigating robotic in-process ultrasonic inspection and control, this project aims to deliver high-integrity welds right, first time, every time and overcome current technical and process limitations.
Application Deadline: 30 September 2023
