Hierarchical federated learning framework for safe and secure connected and autonomous vehicles

This PhD project is part of the Cotutelle arrangement between Coventry University, UK and Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia.

Understanding of the effect and mechanism of hydrogen on fatigue performance of pipeline welded joints

This PhD project aims to investigate: (a) effect of pressure variations on fatigue performance of high-pressure hydrogen pipelines; (b) the inhibiting effect of oxygen on hydrogen effect on pipeline steel; (c) effect of load frequency on fatigue performance in hydrogen; (d) mechanism of material property degradation under cyclic load leading to predictive models for reducing conservativeness in design and operations.

Thermochemical modelling of radiation induced segregation in stainless steel clad for interim storage of spent advanced gas cooled reactor fuel pins

Coventry University is inviting applications from suitably-qualified graduates for a fully-funded PhD studentship in the area of modelling radiation enhanced segregation in nuclear steels.

Stability and transition in compressible shear flows

Coventry University (CU) is inviting applications from suitably-qualified graduates for a fully-funded PhD studentship

Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media: Memory, hysteresis and energy dissipation

This interdisciplinary project aims to resolve this knowledge gap. To that end, we will develop state-of-the-art computational and experimental methods, in close collaboration with prof. with M. Dentz (IDAEA-CSIC) and J. Ortin (Uni. of Barcelona), including short stays in their laboratories in Barcelona. The project also aims to use the insights gained from the small-scale investigation towards reservoir simulations of carbon geosequestration, in collaboration with the British Geological Survey.

Deep Learning on Neurophysiological Signals for Characterising Neurodegenerative Diseases

Neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), affect tens of millions of people worldwide.

Stigmatisation and discrimination in transport towards individuals with disabilities: understanding how the effect on mobility and mitigating deleterious consequences with design

Research shows that poor transport design, whether public or private, can create challenges for disabled people and their ability to make door to door journeys.

Coventry University is inviting applications from suitably-qualified graduates for a fully-funded PhD studentship.

Investigating the effects of secreted microbial metabolites produced under acid conditions on colorectal cancer cell growth

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the three leading killer cancers worldwide and has a low therapeutic index of therapy. The initiation and progression of CRC is modulated by the gut microbiota and metabolites they produce.

Non-Oberbeck-Boussinesq Effects in the Ultimate State of Rapidly Rotating Rayleigh-Bénard Convection

This PhD project tackles one of the key processes that drive the dynamics of planetary atmospheres and interiors: turbulent convection.

Anelastic Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection: A More Realistic Local Model for Planetary Interior Processes

PhD position in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics within the project MAGNADO - The Magnetohydrodynamics of Liquid Metal Tornadoes.

Knowledge-Guided Machine Learning for Optimization Problems

Embodying Hip Hop Culture: Wholistic Approaches, Diverse Techniques, Complex Belongings

This Masters by Research offers an important opportunity to build intellectual capacity for theorising the under-research area of Hip Hop culture in Britain.
