1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of high performance and highly impurity-tolerant recycled Al alloys
Summary of PhD Program:
This project is aiming to develop the high impurity-tolerance and high-performance recycled Al alloys. This project includes both fundamental understanding and the technique development. The research work involves using different types of casting ways, mechanical properties test (such as tensile test, etc.) and some highly advanced microstructural characterization such as SEM (Scanning electron microscope), XRD (X-ray diffraction) and TEM (Transmission electron microscope) etc.
Application Deadline: 05/09/2025
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Understanding crush behaviour of recycled 6xxx Aluminium alloys subjected to different thermomechanical treatments
Summary of PhD Program:
The net-zero and sustainability targets, as well as export cost, mean that there is an increased need to rely on a new class of alloys with higher recycle content that must be developed for both high-strength and crash-resistant alloys. Due to the differences in minor impurity additions in the recycled alloys compared with the alloys based on primary alloys, there is a need to develop new, and modify the current thermo-mechanical process used to strengthen the current generation of crush alloys.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Prediction of Mechanical Properties of Extruded Aluminium Profiles Using Machine Learning and Microstructural Insights
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will focus on developing a combination of advanced machine learning and deep learning methods to enhance the predictions beyond existing data. By incorporating microstructural features into predictive models, the aim is to create a reliable data-driven modelling framework that accurately predicts mechanical properties based on the alloy composition, processing parameters and microstructural information of extruded aluminium profiles for automotive applications.
Application Deadline: 05/09/2025
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Development of natural-ageing-resistant, heat-treatable lean aluminium alloys for automotive applications
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will focus on understanding the effects of vacancy-trapping element addition and quench rate sensitivity of lean Al-Mg-Si-based alloys with varying level of recycled content on the natural ageing response at room temperature and precipitation hardening behaviour during artificial ageing treatment, with the aim of developing lean recyclable Al-Si-Mg-based alloys that are resistant to natural ageing, tolerant of slower quenching rates, and capable of offering high productivity and moderate mechanical properties for automotive applications.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Research and development of H2 engines
Summary of PhD Program:
As part of a large EPSRC Industry Prosperity Grant, this project is aimed at developing dedicated ultra-high efficiency and zero-emission hydrogen engines with industrial collaborators. It will make use of the comprehensive experimental facilities for H2 combustion engine research in the Centre for Advanced Powertrain and Fuels. It will build on the existing successful collaborations between the University and the industrial partners. The developed hydrogen combustion engines will decarbonise vehicles, marine vessels, NRMM and aircrafts at a much lower cost basis and the energy supply infrastructure scales with the existing established supply chain, enabling a faster and more sustainable transition towards net zero.
