1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanochemical separation of hydrogen isotopes
Summary of PhD Program:
The PhD project will build on pilot experiments conducted at Strathclyde to develop a new technology that uses mechanochemical reactions to separate hydrogen isotopes. The project builds on research published in Stillings, Shipton and Lunn, Nature Sustainability, 2023[1] that uses mechanochemical reactions to trap CO2. In mechanochemistry, fracturing of the chemical bonds by a mechanical stimulus, releases charged particles and photons, and produces an instantaneous localized temperature increase of >600°C that can be used to drive a reaction such as the production of H2 gas and H+ ions in water [Stillings et al 2021].

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Advanced Processing Methods for Long Baseline Multistatic Radars for Space Situational Awareness
Summary of PhD Program:
Since their inception, ground-based Space Situational Awareness (SSA) systems, also known as Space Surveillance and Tracking (SST), primarily utilise radar sensors due to their ability to operate in very long ranges and under various atmospheric conditions while also providing very accurate range measurements. Initially used for early missile warning, modern SST radars are designed to monitor targets in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) up to deep space. Having very high-power transmissions, to improve their efficiency radar can also operate in tandem with nearby radio telescopes forming what is known as bistatic configuration.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Accelerating Innovation through Siemens Innovation Centres’ Ecosystems
Summary of PhD Program:
The concept of an ecosystem was introduced by the British ecologist A. G. Tansleyin 1935, signifying a natural system formed through the interaction between living organisms and their environment. Moore (1993) brought this concept into the business domain, whereby a network of interdependent networks of autonomous actors jointly create value (Bogers et al., 2019). This has given rise to a series of new concepts such as business ecosystems, innovation ecosystems, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.
Application Deadline: 31 May 2024
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Gas-Filled Plasma Closing Switches for the Next Generation of Pulsed Power Without SF6
Summary of PhD Program:
The research programme will be aimed at the characterisation of the breakdown behaviour of different gases and gas-solid interfaces under high rates-of-change of electrical field conditions: the PhD candidate will conduct an experimental investigation of the breakdown properties of gases and gas-solid interfaces stressed with voltages up to several 100s kV. It is envisaged that this research will lead to the establishment of criteria for the selection of environmentally friendly gases and solid dielectrics (polymers) for use in plasma closing switches for novel pulsed power machines. This project will involve the PhD student working closely with the HVT group and wider departmental colleagues.
