Candidates interested in fully funded PhD positions can check the details and may apply as soon as possible. Interested and eligible applicants may submit their online application for PhD programs via the University’s Online Application Portal.
1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Landscape study for micro siting of small vertical axis wind turbines
Summary of PhD Program:
Trees are typically considered as obstacles for small wind turbine applications. However, their precise effect on the performance of wind turbines in their vicinity has so far received little research attention. It is therefore of interest to study, through experiments and modelling work, the airflow around trees with dense foliage (e.g., conifers) and to examine how certain tree configurations could influence or even improve the wind environment at a site where small vertical axis wind turbines are planned.
Application Deadline: 7 July 2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Natural ventilation of Photovoltaic (PV) modules using the cooling effect of wind speed for temperature reduction
Summary of PhD Program:
Elevated operating temperatures cause decrease in efficiency and degradation of the solar cells over time. Reduction rates typically range from 0.4% / 5oC to 0.5% / 5oC. The most cost-effective option to improve the cooling of photovoltaic panels is to make the most of natural wind. Although the airgap between the panel and the mounting surface, the tilt and the sparsity of module arrangements have attracted the attention of researchers, little consideration has been given so far to the morphology of the ground at the location of the PV panels.
