About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Nottingham in Resilient Processes of Nuclear Fusion Plant Maintenance and Decommissioning using Robotic Technologies.
This project sits at the intersection of robotics, risk assessment, engineering, mathematics, and nuclear fusion. The research aims to develop a modelling approach for maintenance and decommissioning processes in fusion plants, with a focus on remotely operated robotic technologies, system failure modes, mission success factors, threat modelling, and recovery/restoration under uncertainty.
The post is supervised by Rasa Remenyte-Prescott in the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Nottingham. The advert notes that the project is open to UK/EU/overseas students.
Entry requirements: a strong graduate profile with a 1st class degree in engineering, mathematics, or a relevant discipline; a Master’s degree is preferred, though a 2:1 may be considered in exceptional circumstances.
