Materials engineering field looks into relationships between properties of materials and their mechanical structure at atomic level. This field also deals with practical application of material when the main factors of that are its properties, chemical structure, final form. Materials engineering has supportive areas as thermodynamics, mechanics, nanosciences , etc. Graduates gain understanding in behaviors and properties of various substances, from raw materials and designed products. They are employed by companies whose products are manufactured of ceramics, metal, rubber, plastic, etc.
This challenging and interdisciplinary research field covers the following subtopics: Advanced Ceramic Sciences / Structure and Process Analysis / Fundamentals of Mass Transport in Porous Ceramics and its Visualization / Modelling and Simulation / Special Application of Porous Ceramics
This PhD programme aims at enabling to students the access to a highly specialized background in Material Engineering, focused on scientific research, technological development and innovation.
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Tribology, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the UK/EU student rate only) provided by our industrial partners. The studentship is for three years from July 2013.
Current research includes: developing novel surface engineering processes and materials (such as fullerene-like coating materials); energy-based methods for performance modelling; nanomaterials and nanocharacterisation techniques; and novel materials for intensified processes. The measurement and modelling of the mechanical response of materials at high-spatial resolution, particularly in microelectronic and optical devices, is a major specialism of the School and is supported by a combination of unique equipment and interdisciplinary expertise.
Our Polymer Science and Engineering research programmes have a long and esteemed history and today span a diverse range of themes and topics that have relevance to industrial needs worldwide.
Industrially sponsored within the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing a studentship of up to £19,000 per annum (tax free) plus UK/EU fees* is available
As a part of the CEA (French Atomic Energy and Alternative Energies Commission), the National Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology (INSTN) is a higher education institution under the joint supervision of the Ministries in charge of higher Education and Industry.
The Paper Science research programmes are part of a dynamic research area within the school. We have close links with industry and much of our research impacts directly on current industry practice. Our academic team are highly rated within the paper science sector, and are regarded as experts in their field.
Description of the center and the fields of research : The Centre of materials is an educational and research establishment founded in 1967 in Evry as a joint initiative of MINES ParisTech and SNECMA. At the moment 165 people work at the centre, 26 professors-researchers, 47 ITQ and 65 doctoral candidates and visitors. Research activities concern all types of materials with an interest for the industry. The activities are based on three major missions: - Education: fields of application from physical properties to digital modelling.
- Research: the Centre des Matériaux is a mixed research unit of the CNRS (UMR 7633, department for engineering sciences).
- Valorisation of results and research: the importance of the valorisation is evident as half of the total resources come from subcontracted research with industrial partners from France and abroad via ARMINES. Contact : SAR Konaly konaly.sar@mines-paristech.fr
The aim of DocMASE is to provide a high level research structure for the best students from Europe and the rest of the world. Research projects organised in close cooperation by two universities of the consortium will be offered. Co-advisory is an integral part of the project, thus students will be assigned an advisor from each university where he/she carries out the research work. Students can opt for an academic or an industrial focus in their research. Throughout the PHD, doctoral students are required to go to one of the partner universities for at least six month, and additionally to one of the associated partners for at least two weeks.

Current RF-Seekers use mechanical steerable antennas. In order to reduce the cost of the mechanical system and to enhance the steering sensibility of the radar, we propose to replace any mechanical antenna components with an electrically controlled 3D antenna array. 3D antenna arrays can be easily produced with existing manufacturing technologies and offer significant advantages in terms of miniaturisation, integration and performances.
