Applications are welcomed for an exciting new institute-based PhD programme on energy-related fluid dynamics.
The Institute for Energy and Environment Flows is launching a major new PhD research programme on energy transition science, with up to 10 PhD awards, available to start in October 2025 or later.
We are offering a series of fully funded PhD awards for pioneering research in energy transition, on topics including carbon storage, hydrogen storage, ventilation, friction reduction, geothermal power generation, and wind turbine dynamics. See our join page for the full list of potential topics.
The focus of the research at the Institute is on fluid mechanical and surface science problems related to these topics, and their interaction with the environment. The research will build on the past 25 years of collaboration between the Institute and Industry, and there are a raft of new partnerships being developed in these specific topics.
*To apply, please submit a formal application to the Board of Graduate Studies by 31st January 2025 using the Applicant Portal. In your application mention the interest in this PhD Programme at the Institute. It may be useful to discuss potential projects with the faculty members of the Institute prior to submitting a formal application, and to help facilitate such discussions it would be good to email admin@ieef.cam.ac.uk or to email the individual faculty members.
