PhD Scholarship Project at Imperial College London in the Department of Chemical Engineering. This funded PhD focuses on vanadium recovery , spent sulfuric acid catalysts , low-carbon cement additives , techno-economic analysis , and life-cycle assessment . The project builds on preliminary work at Imperial College London to develop a circular process for selectively leaching vanadium from spent vanadium pentoxide catalysts and valorising the silica-rich residue as a supplementary cementitious m...

University of Cambridge is advertising a fully funded PhD studentship within the EPSRC FIBE3 CDT (Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero) in collaboration with Tracey Concrete . The project is titled “Next generation low-carbon crack-resistant precast shaft and tunnel segments” and sits at the intersection of civil engineering , materials science , and concrete technology . The research will investigate commercially available and emerging low-carbon binder blends , susta...

The University of Greenwich is offering a PhD project on Digital Technologies for Whole Life Carbon Assessment in Developing Countries . The research will examine how digital tools can support construction professionals in assessing whole-life carbon and making better-informed decisions to reduce emissions. The project sits at the intersection of digital construction, sustainable construction, carbon assessment, quantity surveying, construction management and engineering. It is particularly suit...

Co-sponsored doctoral grants from the French Ministry of Defence support PhD research on topics relevant to French defence, through the Agence de l’innovation de défense (AID). The programme funds a wide range of projects each year and is designed for candidates whose research aligns with the agency’s priorities in the natural and engineering sciences, as well as defence-related social sciences. The grant is intended for doctoral research carried out in a French laboratory, with the funding paid...
