PhDs in Energy Engineering

PhD in Doctoral Programme in Sustainable Energy Systems

Promoted by FEUP in cooperation with FCUL, ISEG, IST, together with the MIT, the PhD program consists in one curricular year (60 ECTS) and two to three years of research leading to a dissertation (120 ECTS) and grants the degree of Doctor in Sustainable Energy Systems. TARGET STUDENTS The courses are open for: • M.Sc. graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. • Graduates in Mechanical, Electrical and Environmental Engineering or in other areas recognized as relevant by the Scientific Commission of the programme. CURRICULAR PLAN The official curricular plan of the SES PhD program is currently under restructuring. 3 graduation profiles have been defined: • Energy Systems Planning (Engineering and Economics). • Sustainable Built Environment. • Advanced Electric Networks.

PhD in Offshore Renewable Energy (Engineering Doctorate)

The Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Exeter together with the Scottish Association for Marine Science and HR-Wallingford have formed a partnership to deliver the RCUK/ETI Industrial Doctorate Centre for Offshore Renewable Energy (IDCORE).

PhD in Fusion Science and Engineering - Erasmus Mundus Joint Doctorate

FUSION-DC is a three-year Joint Doctoral Programme in nuclear fusion science and engineering offered by a consortium of 19 European partner institutions from 8 EU countries (8 full partners and 11 associated), the ITER Organization and 9 associated partners from China, Japan, Russia and the USA. FUSION-DC provides a sustainable, integrated and coordinated education at the doctoral level in the framework of a worldwide network of excellence in magnetic confinement fusion (MCF). The EU is world leader in the development of MCF as a sustainable energy source and FUSION-DC embraces most of the largest European fusion institutions. The FUSION-DC doctoral programme involves an attractive variety of educational and training activities (among which the yearly PhD summer event) and an unsurpassed diversity of research opportunities at the partner institutions and research facilities. FUSION-DC focuses on a number of research fields that address the major remaining challenges for making fusion energy a reality, w

PhD in Mechanics, Energetics, Process Engineering

CEA/INSTN

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.

PhD in Environmental Engineering PhD

The University of Manchester

Energy, environment and climate change research are strongly interlinked. The challenges for energy research will increase against a background of climate change, changing energy provision within uncertain world politics, increasing world population, increasing pollution and need for control and remediation. The group's environmental research covers hydro/morphodynamic and geotechnical processes, particularly associated with pollution dispersion/migration and sediment transport, the built environment and urban aerodynamics. There is strong underpinning capability in computational fluid dynamics and soil mechanics, multi-phase flows, sprays, turbulence modelling and heat transfer.

PhD in PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering

Universidade Nova de Lisboa

The PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering (DEEC) aims at preparing researchers with the capacity to perform autonomous research activities and the ability to lead innovation processes in the scientific area of Electrical and Computer Engineering, in both academic and enterprise environments.

PhD in Electronic, Electrical and Computing Engineering PhD/MPhil (Electrical Power, Energy and Control Systems Specialism)

University of Birmingham

The research activities in electrical power, energy and control systems are closely linked to the interdisciplinary research of the Institute for Energy Research and Policy. The new Power and Control Research Laboratory is active in development and demonstration of new energy saving and energy efficient control technology. Our research is supported by the funding from EPSRC, BCURA, AWM, and the industrial partners.

PhD in Centre of Excellence in Nuclear Engineering

University of Leeds

This is an opportunity for you to study for a prestigious and exciting four year integrated PhD and MSc in nuclear engineering. You will complete the taught components during the first 2 years and the programme will include core nuclear skills modules plus some optional modules that will be chosen for their relevance to your specific research project.

PhD in Electrical Engineering

Technical University of Ostrava

The Doctoral study programme of Electrical Engineering focuses on scientific exploration and independent creative activity in various areas of electrical engineering, which include industrial electronics, automotive electronics, power electronics, electrical machines and devices, electric drives, electrical power engineering, and technical cybernetics. The aim of the study is to deepen the theoretical basics of electrical engineering and to provide detailed up-to-date knowledge within a narrow specialization, which is reflected in the topic of the doctoral dissertation.

PhD in Sustainability

Newcastle University

We can supervise PhD projects in topics across our main areas of research, which are: marine, terrestrial, water, energy, transport, food, products and processes, health and environment, justice and governance, and urban and rural economy. Depending on your chosen topic, your research may include industrial placements or time at other universities in Europe or other continents.

PhD in Identification of Building Thermal Models Using Inverse Methods (REF. 2012/P01 - 2011/P02)

MINES ParisTech

Description of the center and the fields of research : The CEP has developed skills in many fields that are useful for studying the transformation of matter and energy. Attention focuses on complex energy systems, particularly in transient conditions, and on controlling their environmental impacts. CEP research activities are organized according three strategic areas : 1 : Energy efficiency (building, industry, transport) 2 : Decarbonization of processes and fuels (CO2 capture, alternative fuels) 3 : Renewable energies (resource evaluation and prediction, integration optimization, environmental impacts) These areas gather all CEP research activities in a consistent set of expertise orientated towards the major preoccupations of different economic sectors and the society as a whole in terms of sustainable development. Cross-cutting activities on the input of nanomaterials and environmental impacts evaluation are also considered. Contact : M. Bruno PEUPORTIER bruno.peuportier@mines-paristech.fr
