Are you holding Master\u2019s degree and looking for fully funded PhD positions? University of Edinburgh, Scotland invites online application for multiple funded PhD Programs \/ fully funded PhD positions in various research areas.<\/span><\/p>\n 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\u2019s Online Application Portal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Droplets on surfaces are of significant interest in many research fields from heat exchange to staining of materials and to transmission of viruses. When a droplet dries on a surface, materials within it are deposited due to internal flows within the droplet and may create a stain or a crystal pattern. The structure of this stain is dependent on the heat, momentum and the mass transport within the droplet during its evaporation. It is also dependent on the behavior of the three-phase contact line and the liquid contact with the surface. For a sessile droplet of salt solution, such as sodium chloride, it is usually assumed that at a relative humidity below around 75% (the deliquescence limit) salt crystallization will occur if the concentration of the droplet is above the saturation limit and the surface contains enough roughness to trigger heterogeneous crystallization.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The successful candidate will develop and evaluate remote laboratory-based teaching exercises for large classes of engineering students (>450) at the University of Edinburgh, which will then go on to be used around the country and further afield. We currently deliver traditional laboratories over a wide range of engineering teaching with examples including labs on the strength of materials, chemical processes, renewable energy devices, dynamics, microcontrollers, electronics, and control systems amongst others. Our remote experiments either complement or extend these, with examples including harmonic motion, rotational position and velocity control, strain in truss structures, electromagnetic measurements, and forthcoming experiments in microcontroller programming and electronic sensing.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Follow FellowshipBard for daily updates! <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Facebook<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Twitter<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Linkedin<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n In this PhD you will discover how a static non uniform electric field can create arbitrary surface shapes, wrinkles and beyond, on the surface of a thin film of a dielectric liquid. You will then investigate how that surface can affect the wettability of a droplet of a second immiscible liquid resting on the film. You will then move on the using modulated dynamic electric fields to discover how these can be used to continuously manipulate the immiscible droplet for application on the Microfluidics.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The PhD, in partnership with Sonardyne, will focus on: new systems to enable underwater network capabilities; measuring the right parameters and transforming unwieldy measurement data volumes into useful information; new \u201csmart\u201d modes of operation of sensors (training operation on existing multi-year datasets) to increase data availability and\/or value and, interfaces to allow a combined simulation-measurement approach.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In your studies, you will research and develop a technology (sorption desalination) to use low temperature heat for the production of freshwater by exploiting recent innovations in material science and engineering. You will work in the Emerging Sustainable Technologies Laboratory (ESTech Lab), be part of a world leading research group in sustainable technologies towards the development of a proof-of-concept super-efficient processes for heat-powered desalination, have access to state-of-the-art equipment including rapid prototyping tools (e.g. 3D-printing) and brainstorm new technological avenues for desalination.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sudden humidity swings are part of our daily life from natural or manmade occurrences. Human body temperature regulation works on the evapotranspiration of water through the skin, the relative humidity in a dishwasher usually swings from 30% to 100% and humidity changes between day and night are present in humid and dry areas alike. The swing between two relative humidity levels always corresponds to an energy change which is possible to harvest. In the past, three proof of principles experiments exploiting three different mechanisms have shown that it is possible to harvest energy from humidity but not beyond the generation of negligible powers. <\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The aim of this project is to evaluate the replacement of current fossil fuel based plastics with bio based ones in sectors such as packaging and membrane separations. Materials considered include polyhydroxyalkanoates obtained by bacterial fermentation, polysaccharides, polycaprolactone etc., and their blends. The project will involve and combine synergistically the experimental approach with the computational one, i.e. Molecular Dynamics (MD) to gain insight into the microscopic structure and dynamics of such materials, The computational screening of such systems allows to identify the most promising candidate for a specific application, thus reducing the experimental effort and informing future experimental campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Antimicrobial coating industry is rapidly growing. This is to prevent the serious problems caused by bacterial adhesion and subsequent biofilm formation on the surfaces of many devices. The project to be carried out in the Institute for Bioengineering at the University of Edinburgh is going to combine anti-adhesive approach to prevent bacterial adsorption and bactericidal method to achieve effective antimicrobial coatings.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2013, for the first time, the America’s Cup was sailed with foiling boats. This led to fast growth in the use of foils on both sailing and power boats, both for racing and cruising. Foiling allows unprecedented speed and comfort, but it raises significant design challenges on control and safety. The project aims at developing an in-depth understanding of the unsteady hydrodynamics of America’s Cup hydrofoils. The project will be performed with the partnership of world-leading yacht designers and professional sailors, and will be potentially affiliated with an America Cup team.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The Javan cucumber (Alsomitra macrocarpa) is a vine that climbs the trees of tropical forests toward the canopy and sunlight. At great heights, it grows pods that contain hundreds of winged seeds. As the wind blows against the opening of the pods, the samaras are peeled away and released. Unlike many gliding seeds that use auto-rotation, the seed of the Javan cucumber vine exhibits a stable gliding flight with its paper-thin wings. The seed’s design is efficient enough to achieve a slower rate of descent compared to that of rotating winged seeds. This aerodynamic advantage allows the seed to be easily carried by the wind several hundred metres.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The proposed project aims to investigate the fluid dynamics of yacht sails. Sails have unique flow features, which allows the generation of very high lift and high lift\/drag ratio compared to wings and blades commonly used in other fields such as aeronautics and turbo machinery. The project aims to understand the underlying mechanisms of these flow features in order to allow the performance of sails to be further enhanced and, importantly, to allow the cross fertilisation of ideas in research fields where there is a need for fluid dynamic efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n1.
