PhD in Modelling Gust-Wing Interactions in Curvilinear Flows at University of Southampton University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences on optimized vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) arrays , combining surrogate modelling , topology optimization , fluid mechanics , and mathematical modelling . The project aims to develop a multi-scale optimization framework to design VAWTs specifically for array performance, rather than optimizing a single turbine and then placing it in a farm. The research focuses on improving urban wind farm vi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on reducing uncertainty in the effect of shipping on climate change . This project sits at the intersection of climate science, environmental science, Earth science, physics, data science, machine learning, and mathematical modelling . The research focuses on aerosol particles from shipping, their effects on clouds, and how these processes influence Earth’s energy balance and climate uncertainty. The student will use...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Earth & Environment on Greenland ice-sheet stability, climate science, data analysis, data science, mathematical modelling, and palaeoclimate evidence . The project asks whether Greenland may reach a tipping point and how ice-age evidence can improve predictions of its future. It uses the coupled climate–ice sheet model FAMOUS-ice to study past, present, and future Greenland stability, including irreversible retreat, uncertainty in sea-...

PhD opportunity at University College London in the Department of Geography with Prof Chris Brierley, focused on climate science , machine learning , data science , mathematical modelling , and Earth science . This project asks whether AI-based regional downscaling models can capture hydroclimate changes in the geologic past. You will work with paleoclimate proxy records, uncertainty quantification, climate-model evaluation, and high-resolution simulations from PMIP and NCAR, including experimen...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, working with the µ-VIS facility , a dedicated X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) centre and part of the UK’s National Facility for lab-based XCT. The project is titled Evaluating defect detectability for iteratively reconstructed industrial X-ray computed tomography data and focuses on industrial X-ray computed tomography , iterative reconstruction , machine learning , optimization algorithms , com...
