[Full coverage of tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD project in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London explores how generative design can be combined with neural-operator surrogates to support real-time, closed-loop multiphysics design. The work targets a major engineering bottleneck: geometry generation is fast, but evaluating thermal and electromagnetic performance usually requires slow simulation cycles. ...

About this position

[Annual stipend at the UKRI minimum rate currently £21,805 per year plus £1,000 per annum enhancement, and a research training support grant of up to £20,000 for the full 4-year programme.]

This PhD studentship at The University of Manchester develops a new class of additively manufactured metallic acoustic metamaterials for shaping and amplifying sounds that matter for human communication. The project is designed around a human-informed inverse-design framework, where information about ear-canal geometry and speech-relevant acoustic needs is used to guide the design of compact metallic structures.

The student will work across engineering, applied mathematics, acoustics, and hearing science to optimise metamaterial architectures for targeted wave compression and pressure amplification. Mathematical and computational models will be used to generate candidate designs, which will then be fabricated using additive manufacturing / 3D printing. The project also includes dimensional metrology, materials characterisation, acoustic testing, and feedback from measured data into the models to improve future designs.

An important part of the research is understanding how manufacturing deviations affect acoustic response. To do this, the project uses artificial-ear models and acoustic sensors to quantify performance and compare predicted versus measured behaviour. The work follows an iterative cycle of design, make, measure, and perceive, giving the student experience in both computational and experimental methods.

The studentship offers broad training in acoustic-wave modelling, numerical optimisation, metamaterial design, process monitoring, metrology, materials characterisation, acoustic measurement, psychoacoustic experimental design, research ethics, and data analysis. The project is supervised by Dr Yuze Huang and is intended to build expertise relevant to future hearing technologies.

The project is expected to start in September 2027.
