About this position
University of Bath is inviting applications for a fully funded PhD project in Superconducting AI Power Networks within the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The project sits at the intersection of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, materials science, computer science, and industrial engineering, with a strong focus on next-generation power architectures for AI data centres.
The research will investigate high-voltage DC (HVDC) power distribution, superconducting DC networks, cryogenic cooling, cryogenic power electronics, and advanced thermal management. It also mentions the use of agentic AI and Omniverse-based digital twins to optimise the co-design of electrical and cooling systems for scalable, energy-efficient AI infrastructure.
This PhD is advertised as a Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide) and may close early once a suitable candidate is identified, so early application is encouraged. Funding notes state that a University of Bath LURS studentship may cover tuition fees at the Home or Overseas rate, provide a stipend of £21,805 (2026/27 rate), and include a £1000 per annum training support budget for up to 3 years.
