About this position

New PhD opportunity at the University of Nottingham in the Faculty of Engineering, linked to the funded EU project HARMONI (101294365) under HORIZON-CL4-INDUSTRY-2025-01-TWIN-TRANSITION-33.

The project title is Hydrogen-Ammonia and Renewable Energy Modelling & Integration: a Nexus for the Cement Industry. It sits at the intersection of Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Environmental Science, Computer Science, and Physics, with a strong focus on industrial decarbonisation, combustion, CFD simulation, and digital twin modelling.

The research addresses the challenge of decarbonising high-temperature process industries, especially cement. The PhD will focus on the development of process-optimised burner systems for the combustion of ammonia-hydrogen blends, combining experimental investigations with high-fidelity CFD simulations to predict, validate, and optimise combustion performance.

The wider consortium includes universities, RTOs, SMEs, and industrial partners, and the work package leadership includes combustion system development, process design, and digital twin/virtual simulation. This is a good fit for candidates interested in energy systems, combustion engineering, renewable fuels, and modelling of industrial processes.

Funding: the PhD scholarship and stipend are funded through the EU project. Eligibility: open only to UK Home students or applicants eligible for UK Home fee status.

Application: no deadline is stated in the post. Interested candidates should review the LinkedIn announcement and contact the supervisor/team for the next steps.
