PhD Opportunities in Acoustic Monitoring, Ultrasound, and Material Characterisation at University of Southampton University of Southampton in United Kingdom

This PhD at the University of Nottingham explores how high-powered laser processing can support the circular economy through advanced, flexible materials manufacturing and recycling approaches. The project has two main experimental themes. First, it will investigate disassembly and reuse of end-of-life composite components, building on previous work that has demonstrated laser cutting of carbon fibre composites (CFRP). The contactless and highly programmable nature of laser processing makes it w...
