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.
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.
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.

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.
Human physiological, biochemical, and cognitive responses to repeated daily occupational heat exposure
