PhD in Railway Circular Economy at the University of Leeds (School of Civil Engineering). This PhD project explores sustainable solutions for railway track infrastructure through the principles of a circular economy. The research focuses on the scalable reprocessing of ballast, sleepers, rails, and other track components to convert network waste into high-quality secondary commercial materials. Possible research directions include: scalable reprocessing for spent railway ballast; structural perf...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Mechanical Engineering , focused on enhancing power capture of tidal turbines using novel blade designs . This postgraduate research project sits within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and explores how tidal turbine blades can be redesigned to improve energy extraction and reduce the cost of energy from marine renewables. The topic draws inspiration from nature, wind energy, and aviation, and will build on existing Southampton ...

This PhD project explores ocean observation through surfing , focusing on the development and field trialling of sensors integrated into surfboards. The research aims to investigate how surfboards can act as mobile platforms for collecting valuable observations from the coastal ocean and surf zone. The student will work on a practical, interdisciplinary project involving marine sensing, oceanography, environmental observation and open-hardware approaches. The work is supported by collaboration w...
