PhD Studentship in Sustainable Multi-Sector Electrification Using Advanced Integrated Motor Drive Technologies University of Nottingham in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in spacecraft propulsion, focusing on the extension of Hall thruster operational range through design and propellant optimisation . The project investigates how Hall ion thrusters can be adapted to deliver a wider range of thrust performance: from higher-thrust operation to highly fuel-efficient modes. You will work with thruster databases , optimisation , simulation , and experimental validation to study how geometry choices such as channel diame...

The University of Nottingham invites applications for a PhD studentship on insulation reliability for next-generation electric motors serving automotive and aerospace applications. The project is based in the Power Electronics, Machines and Control Research Group at the Power Electronics and Machines Centre, Jubilee Campus. The research will examine winding insulation systems, including emerging hairpin and Litz-wire technologies, under representative electrical, thermal, pressure and mechanical...
