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.

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.

Stability and transition in compressible shear flows

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

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.

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.

Nonlinear system identification and deep learning for neurodegenerative disease detection

In this PhD project, we aim to develop nonlinear signal processing, systems engineering, and advanced deep learning techniques, including graph neural networks, to capture spatial and temporal features of EEG signals and characterise neurodegenerative diseases.

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.

Long Document Summarisation through Propositional-Level Comprehension

This project aims to develop novel solutions for long text summarisation by extracting and representing the text structure and by modelling the process of text comprehension.

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.

Novel approach for characterisation of residual risk in Connected Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) test programmes

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

Educational leadership and governance for sustainable societies

Numerical Investigation of Liquid Metal Magneto-Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection

This PhD project will focus on the modelling of electro-magnetic effects, in particular, clarify the possible role of Alfvén waves in planetary core convection.

Multi-Modal Unreliable Information Detection through the Synergy of Natural Language Processing and Complex Network Analysis

Unreliable information, e.g., conspiracy, rumour, misinformation or disinformation, may (unintentionally or intentionally) mislead and misconceptualize the public against certain entities or events.
