7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Ultra-intense laser-plasma interactions

Summary of PhD Program:

Rapid developments in high power laser technology have enabled new regimes in laser intensity to be reached, which has opened up new frontiers in science via the production of extreme pressures, temperatures and intense electric and magnetic fields. With the advent of multi-petawatt-class lasers on the horizon, e.g. via the European extreme light infrastructure (ELI) project, unprecedented intensities will soon be achievable, giving rise to a new high-field physics phenomena in which large fractions of the laser energy is absorbed into gamma-rays and subsequently electron-positron pair creation. The gamma-rays are produced by synchrotron-like radiation of electrons accelerated by the laser and the resulting radiation force can dominate the motion at ultra-high intensities, making this potentially the most intense gamma-ray source in the laboratory.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Suction Caisson Behaviour under Pressure Cycling

Summary of PhD Program:

Suction caissons are a type of foundation commonly used to support offshore wind turbines in deep waters. They are installed by pumping water out of the caisson to create a ‘suction pressure’ (i.e. negative pressure relative to the ambient pressure) inside. Pressure cycling, which involves the cycling of the suction pressure, is often used to continue caisson penetration into the seabed when constant suction pressure is not effective. However, there is currently no method for predicting caisson penetration under pressure cycling, which can lead to significant uncertainty. There is also a critical lack of understanding of the potential effects of pressure cycling on the subsequent in-service performance of the caisson.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in In-Process Inspection of Nuclear Components

Summary of PhD Program:

Traditionally, welding and inspection of high-integrity joints are separate, sequential, often manual processes in manufacturing and repair.

By investigating robotic in-process ultrasonic inspection and control, this project aims to deliver high-integrity welds right, first time, every time and overcome current technical and process limitations.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration

Summary of PhD Program:

Our approach is to combine the best of beam-driven plasma wakefield acceleration (PWFA) as well as laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) to generate the highest quality electron bunches ever produced. These will then be essential ingredients for highest performance future light sources such as FELs. International flagship experiments (at conventional accelerators such as E-210 “Trojan Horse” at FACET/SLAC, at FLASHForward, and at CLARA/Daresbury) will be complemented by hybrid LWFA experiments at laser-plasma-accelerators worldwide. In addition, first-class high performance computers and state-of-the-art simulation codes (particle-in-cell etc.) will be used to model the interaction, and to help understand it theoretically. The electron beam driver will set up the plasma wave, and a low energy laser pulse will ionize an additional plasma component locally within this plasma wave. This leads to ultracold bunches, which are a prerequisite for the ultrahigh bunch quality.

Additionally, DEP has been widely demonstrated to permit the selective concentration of analytes of interest by tuning the parameters and device architecture. We aim to integrate this technology to the POC devices to effectively enable reagent-free analyte concentration for simplified high-throughput analysis.

By utilising Stimulated Emission Depletion (STED) microscopy, in conjunction with adaptive optics, it will be possible to image ND tens of microns into tissue with a resolution of 50nm. Achieving this resolution will allow imaging of synaptic sites, the anatomical features where signals are passed from one neuron to another, thereby allowing a better understanding of the propagation of information through the brain.

Summary of PhD Program:

Forging remains the state-of-the-art manufacturing route for high-value components that demand reliable structural integrity (e.g. turbine discs, landing gears for aerospace). Starting with vacuum arc re-melted ingots at elevated temperatures, tightly controlled thermomechanical processing is performed, focussed on critical temperatures – e.g. the allotropic transformation temperature for titanium alloys, and the precipitate solvus temperature for nickel-based superalloys. Several open-die forging hits and reheats may be required to refine the inhomogeneous as-cast microstructure.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in In-Process Inspection of Nuclear Components

Summary of PhD Program:

Traditionally, welding and inspection of high-integrity joints are separate, sequential, often manual processes in manufacturing and repair. Ultimately, these limitations reduce productivity, throughput, schedule certainty and increase rework if defects are detected at weld completion. As welding is a dynamic volumetric process, fusing joints of depth and width, this project seeks to exploit the volumetric imaging capability of ultrasonics, and introduce this inspection modality directly into the welding process control loop. By investigating robotic in-process ultrasonic inspection and control, this project aims to deliver high-integrity welds right, first time, every time and overcome current technical and process limitations.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in 3D Printing

Summary of PhD Program:

The goal of the project is to investigate sensor-driven inspection and control of robotic metal 3D printing, to safely deliver high-quality parts right first time, every time, in challenging industrial environments. Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) (3D printing), has rapidly come to prominence as a valid and convenient alternative to other production techniques, thanks to a growing body of evidence of its advantages and real potential in terms of lead-time reduction, design flexibility, capability and reduced manufacturing waste.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Automated Eddy Currents Inspection of Dry Carbon Fibre

Summary of PhD Program:

The world’s largest industrial countries’ climate change commitments have given rise to a new urge for a green industrial revolution where lighter engineering structures such as composites are needed to reduce Co2 emissions and carbon footprint. Finding tremendous application cases in the fast-growing industrial sectors such as aerospace, automotive, and construction, has created a remarkable growth rate prediction for the composite market size, which is expected to reach 144.5 billion USD by 2028. The market is expected to expand at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 6.6% from 2021 to 2028. A large part of the market (about 70%), particularly for Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) composites, is predominantly driven by the aerospace sector led by Boeing, Airbus, and defense.

22. Fully Funded PhD Position in Integration & connectivity between the processing route of manufacturing a high-integrity titanium alloy 

Summary of PhD Program:

Forging remains the state-of-the-art manufacturing route for high-value components that demand reliable structural integrity (e.g. turbine discs, landing gears for aerospace). Starting with vacuum arc re-melted ingots at elevated temperatures, tightly controlled thermomechanical processing is performed, focussed on critical temperatures – e.g. the allotropic transformation temperature for titanium alloys, and the precipitate solvus temperature for nickel-based superalloys. Several open-die forging hits and reheats may be required to refine the inhomogeneous as-cast microstructure. For example, to acquire a desirable microstructure with the required mechanical properties, an ingot may necessitate a complex non-linear strain path, reducing it from ~800 to ~250 mm diameter billet, even before any attempt to make the final shape.

23. Fully Funded PhD Position in Highly sensitive biosensors for biomarker detection

Summary of PhD Program:

Biomarkers have been widely used in clinical trials for the baseline risk assessment and diagnosis of diseases. Their expression level has been closely related to the disease progression. Electrochemical biosensors are one type of self-contained integrated device, which is capable of providing specific quantitative or semi-quantitative analytical information. They can provide convenient and cost-effective determination of disease biomarkers with high sensitivity and selectivity. Many electrochemical biosensors have been developed for biomarker analysis in complex bio-environments like living cells and serum.
