PhD in MANTA: Monitoring Array for Nanoparticle Tracking and Assessment University of Auckland in New Zealand

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...

This postdoctoral project focuses on the thermal modelling and mechanical integration of WFEE instrumentation electronics . The recruited researcher will develop and validate an analytical thermal model for the WFEE EM engineering model in order to predict operating temperatures, quantify thermal gradients, and identify the main heat-dissipation paths across the electronics chain. The work is centred on a simplified thermal network representing heat sources, active components, and effective cond...
