Newcastle University is offering a four-year PhD studentship through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Process Industries: Net Zero. The project focuses on developing an endurant power and propulsion system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs operating in offshore energy infrastructure. AUVs are increasingly important for inspecting offshore wind installations, subsea cables, and fixed or floating energy platforms. Current inspection and maintenance approaches often depend on crewed...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds on Understanding and Predicting CaCO3 Growth on Subsea Infrastructure . This project investigates the formation and growth of calcareous deposits (CaCO3) on subsea infrastructure and their impact on cathodic protection systems. The research combines experimental investigation, advanced characterisation, electrochemical analysis, and predictive modelling to improve offshore engineering design. The project is undertaken in collaboration with Deepwater EU ...
