PhD in Soil Stabilisation and Ground Improvement University of Leeds in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in modelling soil dewatering and recharge for cost-effective and climate-resilient infrastructure. The project focuses on soil physics , geotechnical engineering , groundwater control, pore pressures, wetting and dewetting processes, and the interaction between soil water movement and climate-driven seasonal change. Research questions include vacuum-induced depressurisation in low-permeability soils, recharge of soils and waste landfills, clogging...

PhD in Railway Circular Economy at the University of Leeds (School of Civil Engineering). This PhD project explores sustainable solutions for railway track infrastructure through the principles of a circular economy. The research focuses on the scalable reprocessing of ballast, sleepers, rails, and other track components to convert network waste into high-quality secondary commercial materials. Possible research directions include: scalable reprocessing for spent railway ballast; structural perf...
