About the project
Fully funded PhD investigating novel design methods to improve submerged infrastructure resilience against currents and waves. Utilize world-class hydraulic labs and supercomputing facilities to develop sustainable, carbon-efficient solutions.
Are you ready to shape the future of resilient infrastructure? Applications are now open for a fully funded PhD position to explore innovative design methods that enhance the resilience of submerged infrastructure - such as bridge piers and offshore wind turbines - under hydrodynamic forces such as waves and currents.
Climate change is intensifying environmental pressures, making it crucial to develop next-generation infrastructure that is sustainable and cost-effective.
This PhD project offers the chance to address these challenges by leveraging cutting-edge tools and experimental facilities.
You will gain access to the University of Southampton’s world-class hydraulic laboratory and one of the UK’s fastest supercomputers to test and simulate your designs with precision.
Working within a globally recognized research team, you will contribute to groundbreaking advancements in fluid dynamics and infrastructure design, while joining a vibrant, international community of over 400 PhD students.
Join us at one of the world’s top 100 universities and help redefine the future of submerged infrastructure.
Planned start: Autumn 2025 (earlier starts possible).
The successful applicant will gain access to a wide range of modules on fluid mechanics and artificial intelligence, as well as PhD-specific training provided by the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences.
