Vehicle Design PhD

New technologies are coming available that will impact on future vehicle design. This PhD will focus on the utility of new design tools and processes and contrast the speed of design.

Our vision

Creating safe and sustainable transport solutions fit for the cities of the future.

Smartphone and Tech Vulnerabilities

Apple, Android and PC chip problem – Why your smartphone and laptop are so at risk.

Horiba MIRA Partnership

Head of horizon scanning and research explain how partnership with Mobility & Transport will tackle disruptive forces affecting business.

Cybersecurity and driverless cars

Cars are effectively becoming computers on wheels – and very attractive to cyber criminals.

The transport sector is going through a technological revolution at the current time with the low-carbon agenda and the move to autonomy creating an unprecedented demand for research and development in this sector.

Systematic Characterisation of Early Warning Threats

This research investigates systematic characterisation of threat indicators, in the context of early warning systems. For a given class of stealthy threats, the research will provide basis of trade-off decision-making between uncertainty of early indicators and estimating manifestation of threats.

Design, performance optimisation and experimental verification of the Brushless Doubly-Fed Machine

This project is to design and model an optimised Brushless Doubly Fed Machine (BDFM) for wind power generation application. A laboratory prototype BDFM will be constructed and tested based on the new optimised design.

Visible Light Communication for Swarm Robots

This project aims to study Visible light communication (VLC) as an alternative to existing RF technology in swarm robots to increase communication speed. VLC system benefits from availability of huge license-free bandwidth which is ideal for communication among a large number of robots. The study aims to overcome the limitation of swarm robots by replacing/complementing the RF technology.

Nanostructured deposition of structurally strong heat exchangers for energy harvesting

This project will develop novel, next-generation additive manufacturing to integrate thermoelectric generators and heat management systems into a single-piece structural part to optimise energy harvesting from hot pipes; vastly improving structural integrity, heat-exchanger leak-tightness, and component compactness and efficiency.
