PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in spacecraft propulsion, focusing on the extension of Hall thruster operational range through design and propellant optimisation . The project investigates how Hall ion thrusters can be adapted to deliver a wider range of thrust performance: from higher-thrust operation to highly fuel-efficient modes. You will work with thruster databases , optimisation , simulation , and experimental validation to study how geometry choices such as channel diame...

[PhD studentship funded by BBSRC through the Midlands Integrated Biosciences Training Partnership (MIBTP), in partnership with the University of Warwick, University of Birmingham, Aston University, Harper Adams University, Coventry University, and the University of Leicester.] This PhD studentship at the University of Birmingham explores how shock-induced tissue injury can be understood and prevented using dynamic nanofluidics. The project sits at the interface of mechanobiology, biomaterials, a...
