1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Designer nanoparticles for biomedicine and energy: Physics meets biology and chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
Nanostructured materials already play a vital role in society. For example, the red lines on a Covid test are nanoscale gold particles. The conventional approach to their production employs solvents and chemicals which present health hazards and environmental challenges. In this project we will exploit breakthroughs in one of two connected areas, according to the expertise of the student:
- Development of nanoscale physics-based experimental methods, where Swansea is world leader, to achieve solvent-free synthesis and scale-up of soluble, ligand-capped metal nanoparticles of size 1-100 nm.
- Conjugation of the nanoparticles at source with detector molecules chosen to recognise an infectious agent or a biomarker. This will be a completely new method to tether proteins to metal clusters for diagnostics.
Application Deadline: 1 August 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematics
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, different optimal control problems will be considered under a contagious financial and insurance market with regime switching and risk uncertainty. In the first chapter, an optimal portfolio choice and life consumption problem will be studied under a fragile financial market with regime switching and risk uncertainty, where the transition matrix is no longer constant but depends on historical paths of financial assets in that market.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
The wide bandgap (WBG) power MOSFET is more prone to early failure than its Si counterparts despite its recent success. One of the most significant contributing factors to the overall reliability of these devices is degradation or even complete failure of the gate oxide. Specifically, gate threshold voltages shift from their original value with prolonged application, mainly due to gate oxide thickness reduction and high electric fields. Reliability refers to a product’s performance remaining within specifications for a specific period of time. According to the semiconductor industry, after 10 years of operation under nominal conditions, at most 100 devices per million can fail from oxide breakdown.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This postgraduate research studentship is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the development of a novel quantum simulation device technique. This project is a collaborative effort with Silvaco Group, Inc., a leading global company specializing in the development of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) and Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) software. The primary objective of this scholarship is to devise a quantum simulation technique capable of solving Schrödinger and Poisson equations in open systems, such as semiconductor devices, in a self-consistent manner. This will be achieved through the application of the Quantum Transmitting Boundary Method (QTBM). The silicon nanowire transistor will serve as the test device for this project.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerospace Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project focuses on computational mechanics. It seeks to advance the development of numerical methods for multiscale simulation of fibre-reinforced composite materials, especially the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP composites have gained prominence in industries such as aerospace and automotive due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and highly flexible designability. Recently, the development of 3D printing technology has also enabled the additive manufacturing of CFRP composites. However, optimising the design and analysis of CFRP structures requires a deep understanding of their complex multiscale behaviour and intricated computational models.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Civil Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Non-destructive testing (NDT) is a testing and analysis technique used by industry to evaluate the properties of a material, component, structure or system for characteristic differences or welding defects and discontinuities without causing damage to the original part. Among various NDT approaches, Ultrasound Testing (UT) and X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) are the main focus of this project.
Both UT and XCT techniques can produce large 3D datasets that can be challenging to interrogate for human experts to fully analyse. Small defects or anomalies may be missed when manually examining through the acquired volumetric data. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a promising solution to automate and enhance defect detection in these complex structural data.

12. Fully Funded PhD Position in Psychology
Summary of PhD Program:
5G technology supports high-speed, seamless connectivity for online, smartphone-based gambling. As the opportunities for the remote delivery of gambling experiences increase, so too does the risk of addiction and disordered gambling. While cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) remains the primary treatment for gambling disorder, challenges in long-term effectiveness and integration with other therapies impede progress. 5G virtual simulations enable virtual reality environments (VREs) that utilize low-latency video streaming, multi-user sessions, and real-time data collection. These advancements promise a revolution in how CBT can be delivered, experienced, and analysed.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science
Summary of PhD Program:
A long-standing and persistent practical problem of computer science is: When has the quality of a program been demonstrated sufficiently for its purpose? This is particularly acute in areas where safety is at stake: our project concerns technical methods to certify software for digital signalling in railways.
Based upon international railway standards and their own engineering principles, Siemens has created a comprehensive set of about 300 safety principles concerning so-called interlocking computers. But is an interlocking computer safe after verification against these principles? For Siemens, and the rail industry in general, the answer to this question is critical for business and public trust.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Physical Geography
Summary of PhD Program:
One of most iconic sites in American dendrochronology is the National Historical Park at Chaco Canyon. Timbers from multi-storey pueblo houses such as the iconic ‘Pueblo Bonito’ were among the very first used in the development of the science of dendrochronology by A.E. Douglass (1929). Remarkably, of the 7,708 wood samples from Chaco Canyon currently held in the Laboratory of Tree Ring Research (University of Arizona) only about 36% could be dendrochronologically dated. This can be quite typical at such sites, where there is often a large quantity of shorter lived or complacent wood that has not been suitable for traditional dendrochronological work, but which never-the-less offers substantial potential to augment our understanding of the site and its environmental history.
