About the project
This project will explore and develop smart structures, which integrate advanced sensing, actuation and control, with the overall aim of controlling noise and vibration in practical engineering structures prevalent in automotive, marine and aerospace applications.
This project is an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of engineering research with a focus on smart structures – potentially covering topics including:
- sensing, actuation and smart materials
- control and signal processing
- machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI)
- acoustics, vibration and signal processing
- numerical modelling and design optimisation
- multiphysics problems
You will develop advanced technologies that offer high-performance and lightweight solutions that directly support sustainability. You will develop your skills as a researcher and kick-start a career in engineering innovation within a dynamic, supportive and collaborative team.
This project will use a range of numerical and experimental techniques and provide you with significant opportunities to develop a variety of research and engineering skills relevant to careers in both academia and industry. You will also benefit from inclusion in the new MOD/EPSRC CDT in Complex Integrated Systems for Defence and Security, which offers significant opportunities for interdisciplinary working, collaboration and networking.
The Centre for Doctoral Training in Complex Integrated Systems for Defence & Security (CISDnS) is committed to promoting equality, diversity and inclusivity. We welcome all applicants regardless of their gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation or age, and will give full consideration to applicants seeking flexible working patterns and those who have taken a career break or are transitioning into a new role. The University has a generous maternity policy, onsite childcare facilities, and offers a range of benefits to help ensure employees’ well-being and work-life balance.
