PhD Studentship: Robust Bayesian Experimental Design and Inference
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Mathematics
Statistical methods are leveraged in many scientific applications to: specify a data collection practice (experimental design), draw conclusions from sparse and noisy data (inference), and assess uncertainty about those conclusions (uncertainty quantification). Bayesian inference and experimental design methods are increasingly used in scientific practice, and offer appealing theoretical guarantees when certain assumptions hold. However, whether these assumptions hold is difficult or impossible to verify in practice. The successful candidate will undertake a project in the area of statistics/d

PhD Studentship: Direct Recycling of Next-Generation Battery Materials for Sustainable and Circular Manufacturing
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Metallurgy and Materials
The transition to electrified transport and renewable energy storage is driving unprecedented growth in battery manufacturing. However, large-scale battery production generates significant quantities of manufacturing scrap, including coated electrode off-cuts and rejected cells, which contain valuable active materials that are currently underutilised. The development of efficient recycling technologies is therefore essential to support a sustainable and resilient battery supply chain. This PhD project, in the Energy Materials Group, at the University of Birmingham, will investigate advanced di
PhD Studentship: An investigation into the Interface Material Layer Created during Linear Friction Welding of Titanium Alloys.
- Nottingham, United Kingdom
An investigation into the interface material layer created during linear friction welding of Titanium alloys. Applications are invited for a PhD position at the University of Nottingham addressing the specific engineering details of the contact layer created during the Linear Friction Welding (LFW) of Titanium alloys. The successful candidate will have a first-class or upper second-class honours degree in mechanical engineering or a related subject. This CASE studentship will attract a stipend of £18,000 per annum for four years. The position arises from a long-standing engineering research re
PhD Studentship: Computational Chemistry Driven Design of Improved Thermal Batteries
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Chemistry
Thermal batteries (often termed primary reserve batteries) offer several key advantages over primary and secondary batteries due to their long shelf life, high temperature stability, quick activation, reliability, robustness and the fact that they are maintenance-free. Despite these many advantages, the exact mechanisms that control performance in industrially utilised thermal batteries has remained unclear for decades, and thus design principles for discovering new thermal battery materials have been lacking. In this industrially sponsored PhD studentship, we have partnered with AWE fund a 3.
PhD Studentship: Bioresorbable intestinal devices with embedded resorbable sensors for gastrointestinal monitoring
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering
- Dr Gerard Cummins
Swallowable sensors are limited by how long they stay in place. A capsule passes through the gut within a day or two, so it can only take a snapshot when conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease need to be tracked over weeks without the risk of obstruction. Devices that stay longer exist, but they carry a problem. A structure designed to resist peristalsis is also a structure that can obstruct the bowel, and that risk is why intestinal residence has largely been abandoned in favour of the stomach. Attempts to solve it have relied on external magnets, tissue-piercing anchors, or adhesives
