1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Safe Data-Driven Control – Bridging the Gap Between Nonlinear Control and Machine
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project we will seek to bridge the gap between traditional control engineering and ML by combining nonlinear control theory, system identification and ML to develop novel data-driven methods to design control strategies for partially/fully unknown dynamical systems. We aim to develop strategies to ensure the training phase is safe. Moreover, we will explore methods of experiment design to shorten its duration and integrate performance objectives directly into the training process.
Application Deadline: 9 January 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in High-fidelity simulations of turbulence flows on heterogeneous computer systems
Summary of PhD Program:
Turbulent flows play a critical role in a wide range of natural and industrial processes, from weather systems and ocean currents to engineering applications such as aerodynamics, energy generation, and chemical processes. Understanding and accurately predicting turbulent behavior is key to optimising designs and improving efficiency. However, due to the inherently chaotic nature of turbulence and the wide range of spatial and temporal scales involved, high-fidelity simulations of turbulent flows on supercomputers remains a grand challenge, as they require immense computational power.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in High-Fidelity Simulation of Titan/Mars Entry Vehicles with PyFR
Summary of PhD Program:
Next-generation Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) systems for Titan and Mars must safely slow down increasingly large payloads. One particular challenge occurs during the transonic phase of descent, where the spacecraft is subject to aerodynamic instabilities that can cause uncontrolled oscillations, posing a significant risk of mission failure. This project will further develop the GPU-accelerated computational fluid dynamics flow solver PyFR (www.pyfr.org) – implementing improved shock capturing approaches and a full 6-DOF free flight capability – and use it to study dynamic stability in the transonic phase of descent. The work will be undertaken in collaboration with Texas A&M University and NASA Ames.
Application Deadline: 9 January 2025

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in A New Global Tropical Cyclone Model
Summary of PhD Program:
Tropical cyclones (also called Hurricanes and Typhoons) are one of the most dangerous natural hazards with approximately 1 billion people exposed to them. They are expected to become even more damaging in the future (1). Much about their fascinating genesis, intensification and decay remains insufficiently understood. It is proving challenging to model this phenomenon in numerical physic models because the wide range of scale in time and space as well as the many physical processes involved. All atmospheric physics processes affect tropical cyclones: dynamics, thermodynamics, radiation.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Reinforcement Learning for controlling nonlinear physical systems: application to wind farm optimization
Summary of PhD Program:
The proposed research project will explore the potential of RL for optimising the power outcome of wind farms for a wide range of operational conditions. Wind farms have become a significant source of renewable energy, yet optimising their energy output remains a challenging task due to fluctuating wind conditions, turbine wear, and other environmental factors. Traditional control strategies often fail to account for the highly dynamic nature of wind speeds and the complex interactions between turbines.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Magnetic Suspension Balances (MSBS) for Drag Reduction
Summary of PhD Program:
MSBS offer an unrivalled opportunity for making sting-free measurements of time-dependent forces acting on aerodynamic models. Except for the usual challenges associated with Reynolds-number dependence, an MSBS offers the best way of estimating forces on engineering bodies as in ‘flight’, such as submarines, UAVs and re-entry space capsules. Often such bodies operate in a mixed ballistic / aerodynamically assisted regime.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Scientific machine learning to support aviation sustainability
Summary of PhD Program:
Develop and apply scientific machine learning methods to challenges bridging aerospace engineering and atmospheric science, including (1) identifying accurate meteorological predictors for contrail formation and (2) resolving a problem in the modelling of atmospheric dynamics – long considered unsolvable – which is limiting progress in pollution control. You will develop and extend automated model discovery methods (such as Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics, SINDy) and apply them to databases of real-world observations and model error statistics. In so doing you will enable the governing equations to be efficiently ‘learned’ from observations alone.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerodynamic theory of ultra-efficient aircraft rotors
Summary of PhD Program:
The net-zero emission goals set recently for the aviation sector by the UK and EU call for radically new aerodynamic ideas which are able to transform the aviation industry. One such idea is the theoretical concept of ‘wake filling’, already proposed by Albert Betz in the mid-20th century, but which has only very recently found application in aircraft design. Wake-filling refers to the idea that when momentum sources (e.g., propellers) are positioned in close proximity to momentum sinks (e.g., fuselage, turbines) a ‘recycling of energy’ occurs which significantly enhances the system’s aerodynamic efficiency. Still, the underlying flow-physics that enable this remarkable phenomenon remain unexplored.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project we will conduct state-of-the-art numerical simulations of water droplets that are large enough to initiate a two-way coupling between the droplets and the cloud-turbulence on some of the world’s leading supercomputers to better understand these droplet – turbulence interactions, and as a result generate a better understanding of the cloud microphysics behind the generation of rainfall. This will be in support of a NERC-funded project, including the Met Office, to try and improve the parameterisation of cloud microphysics for more accurate NWP.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position
Summary of PhD Program:
You will experimentally quantify the flow-physics of fundamental turbulent flows, as their mean strain is varied from high to low levels, and will document the failure of classical theories to describe intermediate strain regimes. The produced data-set will be utilized to develop a novel theoretical framework for intermediate strain turbulence, based on previous work conducted in Imperial. The project will heavily rely on laboratory experiments, conducted in the state-of-the-art wind tunnel facilities of the Aeronautics Department, and will utilize novel theoretical and machine learning tools.

20. Fully Funded PhD Position in Design, manufacturing and characterisation of functional and green end-of-life cellulose-based materials
Summary of PhD Program:
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship at Imperial College London under the joint supervision of Professors Koon-Yang Lee (Aeronautics) and Julian Jones (Materials) on the development of cellulose-based materials. Challenges with fossil-derived materials, especially with single-use products, have driven research toward intensive development of alternatives in many industrial sectors. The requirements are demanding as materials should be from natural and renewable resources, biodegradable, and, preferably, also recyclable. In addition to sustainability, new application solutions need to have the required functionality, mechanical properties and material efficiency.
