Background: The transition towards electrified automotive and aerospace transport demands electric motors with increasing power density, efficiency and operating voltage without compromising reliability. These trends, together with wide-bandgap converters and fast-switching voltage waveforms, impose increasingly severe electrical stresses on winding insulation. The challenge is particularly critical in aerospace applications, where reduced air pressure can significantly increase the risk of partial discharge (PD) and accelerate insulation degradation. This PhD studentship will investigate and enhance the reliability of next-generation winding insulation systems, including emerging hairpin and Litz-wire technologies, under representative electrical, thermal, pressure and mechanical stresses. The successful candidate will combine extensive experimental testing with insulation lifetime modelling to study PD inception, degradation and endurance, and to develop approaches for predicting insulation lifetime under realistic operating conditions. The research will support improved insulation design and qualification for reliable next-generation electric motors, contributing to safer, higher-performance automotive and aerospace electrification. 

Applications for this PhD position are invited at the Power Electronics and Machines Centre, University of Nottingham. Based in a recently built £18M facility at Jubilee Campus, the Power Electronics, Machines and Control (PEMC) Research Group is globally renowned and one of the leading in its field.

• A master’s degree (e.g. MSc, MEng, MPhys, MRes or equivalent) in a relevant engineering or physical sciences discipline, such as electrical/electronic engineering, general engineering, mechatronics, physics, materials science/engineering, mechanical/aerospace engineering, or a closely related subject, is essential.
• A strong background or relevant experience in high-voltage engineering, electrical machines, power electronics, dielectric/insulation materials, or related areas would be advantageous.
• Knowledge of numerical/FEM simulation tools such as COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB.
• Programming/coding and experimental hardware skills are desirable.
• Strong analytical and mathematical skills.
• Passion for research and willingness to learn.
• Good presentation, communication and scientific writing skills.

We have recently used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique to image what happens in the bowel to tablets and capsules that people swallow to take their medicines or food supplements. Of particular relevance to this new project, we have recently followed the journey in the bowel of a capsule specially designed to ‘survive’ digestion in the stomach and reach the lower part of the bowel, before disintegrating and delivering the medicine/food supplement. This is important because certain medicines and food supplements are damaged by the harsh stomach environment and need to be taken past the stomach to be absorbed in the lower bowel.

For this new project we will image a novel type of capsules inside the bowel of healthy adult volunteers to understand where it disintegrates in the gastrointestinal tract.  We plan to recruit healthy adult volunteers from the university campus for these studies. Some of the capsules will contain caffeine as a model molecule. When it is absorbed by the bowel, caffeine appears quickly in people’s saliva and as such it has been used as a simple and safe model ‘medicine’ for research studies. Capsules disintegration will be imaged by MRI, and the levels of caffeine will be quantified in the saliva samples. The pharmacokinetic parameters of caffeine will be calculated and correlated with the images obtained using the MRI.

The aims of this post are the determination of the caffeine concentrations in human saliva using HPLC techniques, pharmacokinetic modelling and simulation of the obtained saliva-concentration pharmacokinetic profiles and correlation of the obtained pharmacokinetic data to the images generated using the MRI.

This work will be based within the Division of Molecular Therapeutics and Formulation, located within the School of Pharmacy and led by Dr Pavel Geshkovich and Prof Snow Stolnik in Pharmacy, and Prof Marciani in Medicine. The candidate will be required to undertake research and day to day management of the bioanalysis and pharmacokinetics aspects of this research project, requiring a high degree of competence in one or more of the research areas listed. An aptitude for critical thinking and a flexible approach to collaborative research is vital.

Candidates should have, be close to completion of, or have equivalent experience, a PhD in Pharmacy, Pharmaceutical Sciences or related discipline, together with an interest in pharmacokinetics, bioanalysis and drug delivery.

This full-time (36.25 hours/week), is offered for fixed period of 6 months, starting on 1^st October 2026 (or as soon as possible thereafter).

This studentship will attract a stipend up to £25,000 per annum for four years. The position arises from a long-standing engineering research relationship between the University of Nottingham and Rolls-Royce plc. Nottingham’s UTC in Gas Turbine Transmissions Systems will host this studentship and the candidate will sit within a community of PhD students at various stages of their study.

Spline couplings are key power-transmission components which allow torque to be transmitted between two shafts while also allowing for assembly/disassembly.  Building on a long history of work within the Transmissions UTC into the performance of spline couplings, this project will seek to further the fundamental understanding the wear behaviour of such components through both experimental and numerical studies.  Experimental work will be carried out using a recently commissioned rig facility in the UTC allowing the validation of modelling tools.

This project has applications in creating more power dense systems which will facilitate increased use and efficiency of high power electrical systems, and also conventional mechanical power offtakes. Reducing the size and weight of these systems, while boosting power extraction is important to continuing to improve the efficiency of aeroengines

The successful candidate will conduct work as the primary Research Fellow on the EPSRC funded research project “Exposing the micro mechanics of continuum parameters for clay”. The project involves extensive discrete element modelling of clay using YADE on the Nottingham HPC. The project will expose origins of continuum parameters for the primary clay minerals in London clay by performing simulations of normal compression, shearing, unload-reload hysteresis and creep. A second Research Fellow will work on the project for a duration of 3 years starting one year after the project begins. By studying the primary minerals, the work will explain the origins of the continuum parameters for London clay used in design and analysis. An important part of the work will be branching out to other disciplines such as the ceramics industry and those working on landfill liners, cosmetics and agriculture and disseminating the findings in these areas.

Candidates should have a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering and should have extensive experience of discrete element modelling, preferably using YADE and an understanding of clay behaviour and of recent published work on clay platelet interaction.

This full-time post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for 4 years.

On a typical day, you will be engaged in your core research activities (approximately 70% of your time), of developing and running numerical simulations using YADE. The other 30% of your time will be taken up with evaluating data, producing publications and contributing to future proposals in addition to travelling to conferences (including those not in mainstream geotechnics but relevant to clay such as ceramics, cosmetics and waste containment, for example).

The post is based at the Coates Building, University Park, University of Nottingham, and offers an excellent opportunity to work in a stimulating, research-intensive environment with strong prospects for future project involvement should further funding be secured.

About the team

You will join the Nottingham Centre for Geomechanics, working closely with Professor Glenn McDowell. You will have access to the extensive expertise, facilities, and interdisciplinary knowledge base across the wider Faculty of Engineering. We are keen to attract candidates with extensive experience in DEM. Experience in DEM of clays and of using YADE would both be distinct advantages.

About you

You will:

· Hold a PhD in soil mechanics or an area related to clay

· Have strong experience in discrete element modelling, preferably using YADE

· Have experience in publication of high-quality journal papers

· Experience in organisation and management of projects

· Experience in contributing to new ideas and research proposals

Subject Area: Sustainable Agriculture and Climate Resilience

Research Title: Nutrient Dynamics in Cover Crops and Their Implications for Sugar Beet Nutrition, Soil Health, and Climate Resilience

Research Description

The Opportunity

The UK sugar beet industry spends £12–18 million annually on nitrogen fertiliser alone, yet in some instances it has been shown that cover crops can provide 30–60 kg N/ha to the following sugar beet crop. Cover crops are often used ahead of sugar beet, but a lack of evidence about the nitrogen they provide and the factors that affect it means very few growers adapt their nitrogen application rates after using a cover crop, potentially missing out on savings of £30-70 ha. Some species immobilise nitrogen and suppress beet growth; others create a "green bridge" for virus-carrying aphids during the critical establishment period. This PhD will deliver the first evidence-based framework for integrating cover crops profitably into UK sugar beet rotations, with the potential to unlock £3–7 million per year in industry-wide fertiliser savings. Funded jointly by BBRO, the Morley Agricultural Foundation, and the Lugden Hill Trust, this is an applied, industry-facing project: you will work closely with BBRO and the grower community throughout, ensuring research questions are grounded in real farming challenges and that outputs reach the people who need them.

What You Will Do

Working across agronomy, soil science, and microbial ecology, you will:

• Run controlled decomposition experiments to quantify N, P, and K release from key cover crop species (cereals, brassicas, legumes, and mixtures) under UK conditions.
• Establish multi-year field trials on contrasting soils at commercial BBRO sites and the University of Nottingham farm, measuring beet yield, sugar content, and pest/disease incidence.
• Analyse soil microbial communities (PLFA, 16S/ITS sequencing) to understand how residues drive nutrient cycling and soil health.
• Parameterise predictive models and translate outputs into practical grower tools, including a fertiliser credit calculator and species selection guide.

Training

You will be based at the University of Nottingham's Sutton Bonington Campus, with access to world-class facilities including the Hounsfield X-ray CT Facility for root architecture studies and advanced soil and plant analytical capabilities.

Project Overview and Background

As global energy demand rises, reducing carbon emissions has become increasingly challenging. Gas‑turbine‑based power generation continues to play a central role in electricity supply, yet it is also a major source of CO₂ emissions and contributes to grid instability as renewable penetration increases. Achieving national net zero targets require integrated solutions that simultaneously decarbonise existing infrastructure, enhance grid flexibility and enable the production of sustainable energy carriers.

Hybrid energy systems offer a promising pathway, but current designs face important limitations. Many studies depend heavily on electricity‑intensive Power‑to‑X routes while underutilising thermochemical biomass conversion and advanced solar‑thermal technologies. Emerging carbon‑capture approaches such as electrochemically mediated amine regeneration show strong potential for flexible, low‑temperature operation, yet they remain largely unexplored within fully integrated hybrid systems. Additionally, current techno-economic feasibility studies rely on steady‑state modelling and overlook the dynamic behaviour under variable grid and weather conditions. These gaps restrict the deployment of high‑efficiency, multi‑source energy platforms capable of adaptive and resilient performance.

This PhD project aims to develop and evaluate a novel hybrid system that integrates gas turbines, low-temperature carbon capture, biomass gasification, and advanced solar thermal applications to enable carbon-negative fuel production and grid support. The research will involve thermodynamic modelling, transient simulation under UK climate and grid demand profiles, economic assessment, life‑cycle analysis, and AI‑driven multi‑objective optimisation. Although the initial focus will be on gas turbines, the hybridisation framework developed in the project will be designed to be transferable to other industrial and power‑generation applications, including industrial furnaces (e.g. steel, cement) and waste‑to‑energy plants. The overarching objective is to design intelligent control strategies that coordinate energy flows across the hybrid system, maximise CO₂ utilisation, and demonstrate the technical and economic viability of a closed‑loop carbon platform suitable for large‑scale deployment.

Project Overview and Background  

Oxy-fuel combustion, where fuels are combusted in pure oxygen or a mixture of oxygen and flue gas (CO₂), produce a flue gas with a high concentration of CO₂ that allows easier sequestration without energy-intensive preprocessing. However, production of oxygen is an energy-intensive process. Industrial scale oxygen production today is still based on the conventional cryogenic distillation process developed around 1900. 

Mixed ionic-electronic conductors (MIECs) that display high oxide ion conductivity and electronic conductivity can be made into dense ceramic membranes. Such dense MIEC ceramic membranes allow oxygen ions but not nitrogen ions to pass through. They are capable of separating oxygen from air with 100% selectivity and reduced cost and energy penalty compared to the conventional cryogenic air separation technology. Oxy-fuel combustion coupled with oxygen separation membranes can provide an energy-efficient and low-cost CO₂ capture technology for fuel-combustion-based power plants.    

A longstanding challenge is to develop MIEC membranes with both high oxygen permeability and stability under operation conditions. For example, the state-of-the-art Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Co_0.8Fe_0.2O_3-δ (BSCF) exhibits the high oxygen permeability, but it suffers from high reactivity with CO₂ and structural instability issues.  

This project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of energy efficient oxyfuel combustion of biomass enabled by oxygen separation membranes. The specific project objectives are (1) to develop high-performance and stable mixed oxide ion – electronic conductors; (2) to manufacture the conductors into ceramic tube membranes and (3) to conduct oxyfuel combustion of biomass fuels with the oxygen produced from the ceramic tube membranes.  

This project is in collaboration with additional support from Nanodot Ltd. As part of the programme, you will benefit from a comprehensive, interdisciplinary training programme and skills development, including the opportunity for an industrial placement with Nanodot Ltd. 

Person Specification 

 Essential: 

• Ideal candidates should hold or expect to gain a first-class or an upper second-class honours degree (or their equivalent) or a 60% or higher weighted average MSc. 
• Knowledge of Ceramic Manufacturing 
• Experience in characterisation of: 
• Electrical properties (ionic and electronic conductivity) 
• Crystal structure and chemical composition

This exciting opportunity is based within the thriving Optics and Photonics Research Group in Faculty of Engineering which conducts cutting edge research spanning exploration to translation, with curiosity driven projects all the way through to application in the clinic.   

Vision

We are seeking PhD student that is motivated and enthusiastic and keen to push the boundaries of what is currently possible when imaging with an optical microscope. Combing the latest in optical developments with the recent surge in AI, this project aims image the centre of a live intact root for the first time. Something that is currently not possible.

Motivation 

This project will address a long-standing issue in plant biology: the inability to image the centre of live, intact, plant roots. The ability to observe dynamic cellular processes at the centre of a live root for the first time will unlock entirely new lines of biological inquiry, crucial for areas such as sustainable agriculture and food security. Such an imaging system would allow for studies of a plant’s resilience to drought, salinity, and water logging, as well as responses to fungal infections and nanoparticle uptake. It is very common that new optical microscopy techniques are developed to image mammalian tissue, and that these approaches are very slow to translate across to plant biosciences where the impact could be huge and as a result exciting opportunities get missed.  

When we use light to image deep into complex samples there is a common problem that occurs – the light gets distorted and scattered by the structures present in the sample and as a result a nice quality focus and hence a nice image cannot be produced at depth into the sample. At Nottingham we have been working on this problem for several years and have developed methods that shape the incoming light with the equal but opposite distortion to that imposed by the sample to produce a high-quality image deep into the sample of interest. Recently we have been using AI and machine learning to predict the distortion present and significantly speed up this correction process.

This PhD project will take the latest in AI-informed wavefront correction techniques and tailor them to imaging deep into plant roots. It will use a range of state-of-the-art optical microscopes based in the Optics and Photonics Research Group in the Faculty of Engineering, plus those housed in Plant Biosciences at the Sutton Bonnington campus. Data sets will be generated using simulated and experimental data and these will be used to train networks to predict the common distortions that occur when imaging into plant roots. From here we can either correct for these distortions using the hardware in the microscope or in software using reconstruction algorithms. This is an exciting multidisciplinary PhD project that promises to make cutting-edge advances in all research areas involved.

Aim

This project combines practical hands-on optics experimentation with training neural networks to develop the next generation of optical microscopes. You will have the opportunity gain skills in optical instrumentation and imaging, AI and machine learning, and in plant biology and sample handling.

Your base will be in the Optics and Photonics Group in the Faculty of Engineering and from here you will work with a team of academics and researchers across Engineering, Computer Science and the Biosciences.

You will be supervised by Amanda Wright (Optics and Photonics Research Group, Faculty of Engineering), Mike Somekh (Optics and Photonics Research Group, Faculty of Engineering), Mike Pound (Computer Vision, Computer Science Department), and Darren Wells (Plant and Crop Biophysics, School of Biosciences).

Who we are looking for

An enthusiastic, self-motivated, resourceful student, who likes working as part of a team and is keen to take on a new challenge. An understanding of optics and/or machine learning is desirable but not essential, along with general coding skills.

1^st or a 2:1 in a relevant field (for example Physics, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Computer Science, or Biosciences).

Funding support

After a suitable candidate is found, funding is then sought from the University of Nottingham as part of a competitive process (this will cover home tuition fees and UKRI stipend)

The University actively supports equality, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from all sections of society.

The Faculty of Engineering provides a thriving working environment for all PGRs creating a strong sense of community across research disciplines. Community and research culture is important to our PGRs and the FoE support this by working closely with our Postgraduate Research Society (PGES) and our PGR Research Group Reps to enhance the research environment for PGRs. PGRs benefit from training through the Researcher Academy’s Training Programme, those based within the Faculty of Engineering have access to bespoke courses developed for Engineering PGRs. including sessions on paper writing, networking and career development after the PhD. The Faculty has outstanding facilities and works in partnership with leading industrial partners.
