Currently root-cause electrical and electronic faults in vehicles are difficult to detect due to the large number of interacting systems and distributed control leading to emergent behaviour. How do you improve the ability to diagnose and the confidence of diagnosis with currently available technology. What data is required to improve upon current...

Research in energy demand is critical to address the challenges posed by climate change. The recognition that our current life-style is unsustainable will be a key driver for research and innovation for many years to come. The sector needs high quality PhD qualified graduates, drawn from a range of different 1st degree disciplines: note that direct...

Plug-in vehicles suffer from a number of potential issues with user perception. For example an Electric Vehicle (EV) has a limited energy storage capacity leading to a much reduced range compared to a conventional vehicle. This has a negative impact on the customer through a phenomenon known as “range anxiety”. One aspect of this project may...

PhD project Title:  (Inductive) Charging The increase in the number of plug-in vehicles available to customers has led to a large number of charging posts available in town centres etc. There are a limited number of products available which offer non-contact charging of automotive battery packs. The acceptance of plug-in charging for certain...

Project Details: A studentship is available in the group of Dr Julien Gautrot, focusing on the chemistry and biocompatibility of composites. The research will develop novel chemical routes to bio-compatible composites, in collaboration with FormFormForm (FFF), a dynamic company exploring materials design and innovation. Composites play an essential...
