About this position

PhD opportunity at Loughborough University in autonomous wireless sensing for long-term air duct monitoring in nuclear decommissioning environments.

This project sits in Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering and is co-funded by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority Bursary scheme and Loughborough University, in collaboration with the UK National Nuclear Laboratory. The research aims to develop a novel condition-monitoring solution for air ducts in nuclear decommissioning sites by designing, optimising, and testing an autonomous wireless multi-parameter sensing node.

Research themes include autonomous wireless sensing, condition monitoring, airflow energy harvesting, multiparameter sensing, wireless communication, engineering dynamics, and vibrations. The system is intended to harvest energy from airflow and power sensors such as corrosion and temperature sensors, enabling long-term monitoring with minimal human intervention.

Eligibility: applicants should have at least a 2:1 honours degree (or overseas equivalent) in Engineering or Physics, or equivalent relevant industrial experience.

Funding: the studentship is partially supported and provides funding for 3.5 years, a tax-free stipend of £21,805 per annum, and tuition fees at the UK rate. International fees are not applicable.

Deadline: application deadline is 30 June 2026. The post notes that the deadline is tight, so early application is advised.

How to apply: use the Loughborough University online application page linked in the project listing. Review the project details and submit the required application materials before the deadline.
