PhD in Robotics

Kings College London

The King's Centre for Robotics Research comprises six academics and 28 PhD students/RAs. It has an international reputation in the field of kinematics, mechanisms, and robotics, and their applications to medical science and production. Since 2001 the Centre has published over 300 papers in prestigious journals (including IEEE Transactions, ASME Transactions) and generated over £6 million in grant income, including £3 million in current grants. Our staff are reputed nationally and internationally in kinematics, robotics and mechatronics. We collaborate closely with the KCL Health Schools (including St Thomas’ and Guy’s Hospitals) and numerous industrial partners. The Centre is renowned for its multidisciplinary research at the interfaces between Mechanical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering. The Centre is actively involved in research into such areas as computational kinematics, computational intelligence, reconfigurable mechanisms, intelligent algorithms and contr

PhD in Metallurgy and Materials

University of Birmingham

The quality of the research work in the Department of Metallurgy and Materials has been confirmed by our performance in successive Research Assessment Exercises.

PhD in Mechanical Engineering PhD

The University of Manchester

Manchester has a well-known track record in researching the behaviour of structures under fire, explosions, impact energy absorption, dynamic response, and high strain rate material response. The design research team is interwoven with the extreme loading investigations through research into risk and reliability methods.  In addition, the design team also concentrates on through-life support of systems, equipment and components. This work comprises conditioning monitoring, single processing, damage detection, and project management.

PhD in PhD Studentship - Image Processing for Mechanical Component Degradation Analysis

Cranfield University

Supported by EPSRC and Rolls-Royce, a studentship up to £20,000 p.a. for 3 years plus UK/EU fees* is available Application deadline: 31 May 2012 Start date: Asap Duration of award: Three years Supervisors: Professor Rajkumar Roy and Dr. Jorn Mehnen Industrial Partner: Rolls-Royce Cranfield University is seeking a highly motivated graduate to undertake this exciting research project. The PhD researcher will develop image processing and data fusion techniques to identify degradation in mechanical components (e.g. aero engine components) and visualise compounded degradation for ‘as maintained’ perspective. It is expected that the researchers will perform image processing of thermal and X-Ray images.
