About this position

PhD opportunity at Loughborough University in Active Noise Control of Automotive Tyres.

This project sits in Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering and focuses on reducing external tyre noise using active noise control, acoustics, control systems, and potentially machine learning. The research combines theory and experiment, including 3D sound-field mapping, acoustic camera measurements, directional cancellation signals, real-time Simulink modelling, and testing on tyre rigs and vehicles.

You will work with Dr Dan O'Boy and Dr Miguel Martinez at Loughborough University. The project is aimed at students interested in vehicle noise, wave propagation, vibration, and practical control implementation for automotive applications.

Funding: The page lists this as a self-funded PhD. Tuition fees for 2026-27 are £5,238 per year for UK students and £29,500 per year for international students.

Eligibility: A PhD-level engineering background is required, ideally in mechanical, automotive, or electrical engineering. Experience in wave propagation, control technology, or acoustics is beneficial, and interest in vehicle design is welcomed. English language requirements apply.

How to apply: Contact Dan O'Boy first with a CV, academic transcripts, a reference letter, and confirmation of funding source. If invited, submit the formal online application and quote reference AAE-DOB-2518.

Deadline: 10 January 2027. Start date: October 2026.
