PhD studentship at the University of Cambridge in the Department of Engineering on experimental investigation of phase change mechanisms in aircraft contrail formation . This fully funded project is part of the Leverhulme Trust research programme Bridging the scale gap: From non-equilibrium thermodynamics to contrails . The research combines laboratory experiments with high-fidelity numerical modelling to study vapour-liquid-solid phase transitions in aircraft exhaust plumes, with relevance to s...

PhD opportunity at The University of Manchester in Computational Mechanics and Data-Driven Modelling of Composite Materials . This 3.5-year project is centered on the mechanics of composite materials, defect-informed damage modelling, interpretable physics-informed machine learning, and multiscale modelling. The research will build on in-house computational frameworks using X-ray computed tomography data and mechanistic finite element models to study how manufacturing defects affect the performa...
