Postdoctoral Researcher in Circular Design Toolbox Commercialisation Royal College of Art in United Kingdom

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...

[Funding information states £21,805.] University of Warwick is offering a PhD studentship on NSF Swarf: A novel forging process for closed-loop recycling of metallic swarf . The project addresses a major challenge in manufacturing: machining can remove 60–90% of a component’s material, creating large quantities of swarf that are often discarded and mixed with other grades. This studentship explores a patented near-solidus forging approach in which pre-compacted swarf is heated to just below the ...
