PhD Studentship: Electromagnetic Sensing for High-Temperature Microstructural Evolution

University of Warwick · WMG

  • Coventry, United Kingdom
  • WMG

This PhD redefines electromagnetic sensing by moving beyond magnetic permeability-dominated approaches to establish a conductivity-driven eddy-current framework for tracking microstructural evolution at high temperature. The transition towards smarter, lower-carbon manufacturing demands new ways to understand and monitor how materials evolve during processing. This PhD project addresses a fundamental and timely challenge in electromagnetic (EM) sensing: how to quantitatively link electrical conductivity–dominated eddy current responses to microstructural evolution during high-temperature proce
