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 The project aims at building accelerators based on Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and suitable to deliver computer vision tasks through Generative AI. Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are promising candidates in this direction: they exploit adversarial learning and feature extraction to execute a multitude of applications, including image dataset generation, image-to-image translation, face frontalisation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n This PhD project will formulate tailored CiP strategies for membranes in Scottish Water (SW) treatment plants. The overarching goal is twofold: i) to identify the CiP temperature resulting in optimal membrane performance; ii) to identify CiP formulations (or mixtures thereof) suitable for application at ambient feed water temperatures (i.e., in cold water). Considering that CiP at SW membrane plants is often carried out at ambient water temperature (Tamb = 10 \u00b0C or lower), we anticipate significant improvements in cleaning efficiency if CiP were carried out at slightly higher temperatures.\u00a0<\/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 Telegram Channel<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The project will be carried out at the Institute of Materials and Processes (IMP). The student will attain skills in lifecycle assessments, synthesis of microporous materials, polymer membrane fabrication and evaluation. The student will also learn various experimental techniques like gas adsorption analysis, polymer synthesis, FTIR, SEM, TEM, NMR, and AFM. These skills will be essential for a student perusing industrial careers in the water\/carbon capture sector; in addition they will be important for an academic career in Chemical Engineering\/Materials Engineering.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n With the advent of 5G networks, Internet of Things (IoT), particularly in the defence and security area, there is an exponential growth on the amount of data generated worldwide. It is estimated that by 2025, more than 175 Zettabyte (1 Zettabyte=109 Terabytes) of data per year will be produced. Indeed, information technology is predicted to consume 21% of the world electricity supply by 2030. There is hence a pressing economic and societal urge to find more energy efficient solutions. To make progress in the targeted area of quantum storage technologies, new materials and\/or processes need to be created or found.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and free energy calculations, this project aims to computationally design highly selective RO membranes by elucidating the mechanisms governing SNC sorption and transport. The project will focus on SNCs that are insufficiently rejected by state-of-the art RO membranes, e.g., boric acid, a toxic constituent of seawater, and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), a carcinogenic disinfection by-product whose insufficient removal during RO-based wastewater reuse (rejection ~ 60%) demands additional, and costly, advanced oxidation processes (e.g., high-energy UV).<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The main objective of this PhD is to develop control strategies for wave devices using an integrated axial flux permanent magnet generator with a magnetic gear. An electro-mechanical wave-to-wire model will be developed, and used with two Italian partners Cheros Engineering and Scuola Superiore Sant\u2019Anna of Pisa (SSSA), to investigate control strategies of devices produced by the following wave energy developers, Mocean Energy (UK), Pure Marine (Ireland) and CETO Wave (Ireland), all partners in the project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This project aims to develop and combine mechanical and rheological testing methodologies that will characterize texture rapidly and reliably, in real time, during the manufacturing and storage period. The experimental program will be complemented by state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methodologies in order to correlate improved texture with optimized manufacturing and storage processes.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n The first step towards understanding the hydromechanical behaviour of an unsaturated soil is to characterise its water retention properties. For hydrophilic soils, traditional techniques for example psychrometry or tensiometry allow us to construct the retention curve with little difficulty. However, the nature of the water phase within hydrophobic granular soils prevents us from using these methods. This project will explore new methods to construct a water retention curve for hydrophobic granular soils by combining experimental observations of the water phase in the material with numerical simulations of the resulting water pressure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The underlying theme of this PhD project is to study the rich interplay between fluid flow dynamics, surface chemistry, geometry, roughness, and solid elasticity in the context of wetting phenomena. Depending on the interests of the student, they can focus on modelling or combine modelling and experiments to develop engineering design principles for structured surfaces with superwettability properties. We will consider both model surfaces with regular patterns (e.g., posts, holes) and non-ideal, industrially relevant substrates (e.g., complex fibres, meshes).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect-scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. They will contribute to protecting the environment by providing data on the contamination of physical and biological systems and on the impact of human activities. To date, a key limitation of this technology is that small sensors can remain airborne only for few tens of minute.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n Join the frontier of zero emission transport with a PhD opportunity focused on advancing the decarbonisation of large-scale transport, particularly electric aircraft. Highly efficient and power-dense electric machines are paramount in this endeavor, and superconducting electric machines stand out as a promising solution. With efficiencies exceeding 99% and power densities surpassing 20 kW\/kg, superconducting electric machines hold the potential to revolutionise long-haul electric aviation.<\/span><\/p>\n Apply now<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n1.
