DTU Physics at the Technical University of Denmark is advertising a 3-year PhD scholarship in Theoretical Metamaterial Acoustofluidics , starting 1 January 2027 (or by mutual agreement). The project is supervised by Professor Henrik Bruus and is part of the theoretical acoustofluidics project High-performance, metamaterial-based acoustofluidc devices , funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF-FTP). The research focuses on the fundamental physics of fluids embedded in elastic solids, ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Birmingham in Biomedical Engineering , Mechanical Engineering , and related areas. This project, Actuated microdevices for oral delivery of biologics , explores how actively controlled mechanical stimulation can help large therapeutic molecules cross the intestinal wall. The research combines oral drug delivery , mucus rheology , microfabrication , actuator design , MEMS , finite element modelling, ex vivo tissue methods, and cell culture. You will design, mi...

PhD project at the University of Southampton on leading edge protection of turbine blades by design . This postgraduate research project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and focuses on the physics of rain droplet erosion and impact damage in leading edges of aero engine fan blades , helicopter blades , and wind turbine blades . The research will use high-speed video , digital image correlation (DIC) , water jet impingement , and microCT to study stress waves, damage evolu...

The University of Warwick is offering a PhD studentship on NSF Swarf: A Novel Forging Process for Closed-Loop Recycling of Metallic Swarf . This project sits within the Advanced Steel Research Team and explores how machining waste can be transformed back into valuable material through a patented near-solidus forging approach. Machining can remove 60–90% of a component’s material, creating large amounts of swarf that are often discarded and mixed with lower-grade waste. The Warwick process propos...
