PhD position summary/title: Application of laser imaging techniques to thermal synthesis of carbon materials
This PhD project will apply of in situ optical measurements during synthesis of carbon materials, for spatial mapping of, for example, particulate concentration, size and composition, and gas-phase composition. Through this approach the aim is to tune the carbon material properties for bespoke applications by manipulating the carefully-controlled flame conditions. On the one hand, the combustion of precursor powders such as sodium ethoxide to produce nitrogen-doped carbon foams will be investigated systematically through the use of in situ laser imaging. Based on the resulting data, synthesis conditions will be made more stable and reproducible, and the sensitivity of product properties to flame conditions will be investigated. At the same time, the project will also explore the reverse approach whereby the particles formed in standard, laminar flames used by combustion scientists to study pollutant formation are investigated for their worthwhile properties and adaptation of these stable synthesis conditions is used as a basis to synthesise useful materials.

PhD position summary/title: Quantum-gas microscopy of many-body quantum states in programmable light potentials
Quantum Simulation seeks to unravel the mysteries of complex quantum systems that influence fields like materials science, chemistry, and biology. By modelling these systems through precise, controlled experiments at the quantum-mechanical level, we gain new, profound insights.
Within this PhD project, we’ll utilize ultracold atoms in optical lattices in a quantum-gas microscope, capable of single-site-resolved atom detection. Our setup, equipped with spatial light modulators, can project various light patterns onto the atoms with remarkable resolution. For example, in our work, published in Nature Communications we were able to create quantum systems with only five atoms on a specific number of lattice sites.

PhD position summary/title: Practical Quantum Algorithms
There is a substantial body of knowledge about the theoretical capabilities of quantum algorithms, given ideal quantum computers, but this is quite far removed from what is needed to run on real quantum computers being built today. Collaborating with computational scientists to understand what their applications do is a key aspect of the project. This includes teams of academics and postdocs who are working on applications to fluid simulations (from weather forecasting to fusion) and materials simulations, and across the whole spectrum of scientific and engineering computing in the UK through the CCP-QC https://ccp-qc.ac.uk/ (Collaborative Computational Projects) network. You will be able to test your ideas on real quantum computers, and there is plenty of scope for choosing which aspects of the research you are most interested in.

PhD position summary/title: SI-traceable atomic thermometry
Practical, portable temperature sensors drift during use and require periodic calibration against a ‘primary’ (stand-alone, accurate) thermometer to ensure on-going reliability. Primary thermometers are normally bulky but we aim to develop a portable, optically-based one using Doppler Broadening thermometry (DBT). This provides traceable temperature measurement in-situ in, for example sensor networks, to assure autonomy in a totally new way. This disruptive technology could in future completely change the way temperature traceability is delivered to users, and is aligned with the “Digitisation and Digital NMI” and “Achieving Carbon Net Zero” themes. For “digitisation” DBT will yield temperature traceability at the point of measurement, for “net zero” DBT will improve industrial process control (many of which rely on thermal processing but run sub-optimally due to temperature sensor drift). Solving this issue will optimise, and hence lower, power consumption whilst giving the added benefits of zero waste and consistent product quality. We will establish DBT as a new UK research activity and aim to scale macroscopic DBT approaches (typically 10’s cm) to practical sensor size (~cm) using small optical cells filled with atomic and/or molecular species. Our target uncertainty of 50mK in the temperature range 300-500 K, compares well with the precision of competing inexpensive thermocouple and thermistor technologies, but crucially will have absolute accuracy and thereby make an internationally leading contribution.

PhD position summary/title: Computing with photonic quantum systems
Loss is ubiquitous in natural systems, due to interactions with their environment. For information processing, it is a way to lose entropy, which is arguably what you need to do to extract only the salient features from data. Instead of seeing loss as an imperfection to be engineered around, can we harness it? For example, the natural properties of photons include that they aren’t conserved – one photon can be split into two lower energy photons. As part of a funded research project, we are currently developing ways to compute that use photon loss -and gain – as features, not bugs.
This PhD project will start from these novel ways to compute and develop the potential applications they are most suited for, devising test algorithms that can be run on existing hardware, such as the photonic quantum computer hosted by the National Quantum Computing Centre. There are many possible directions the research could take, and there will be freedom to explore multiple promising avenues depending on your interests.

PhD position summary/title: Investigation of the flow behaviour, anisotropy and forming limits of 6000 series aluminium extrusions with significant recycled material content
Constellium has unique facilities for recycling aluminium alloys via direct extrusion into sheet. This process has cost and sustainability benefits in support of Constellium’s long-term goal of reducing CO2 emissions to 1kg per 1kg of aluminium but it potentially introduces variability into the alloy chemistry and impacts on downstream formability and final properties.
Direct extrusion results in differences in microstructure, crystallographic texture, and how they are distributed across and through the sheet compared with traditional rolled material. Forming limit diagrams and mechanical property data is not available for this extruded material which impacts the design and optimisation of subsequent forming processes such as roll bending.
This project seeks to, for the first time, develop a forming assessment strategy for extruded recycled 6000 series aluminium with a particular focus on roll bending. The main research tasks are:
- assessment and validation of sub-size samples for characterisation of Forming Limit Diagrams and benchmark these against standard material
- the use of novel forming assessment methodologies for characterising the material response to non-standard deformation conditions experienced during roll bending
- correlate these with the microstructure and texture of the material
- in parallel with the experimental work, model the roll bending process to understand the complex deformation paths experienced to assess the suitability of forming assessment methodologies
- assess A, B and C as a function of natural ageing from as extruded to 1 or 2 months
- investigate batch to batch variability

PhD position summary/title: AI powered energy management of next-generation ship power systems
Sustainable and net-zero shipping necessitates the development of novel technologies, overcoming significant barriers pertaining to costs, regulations, and uncertainty. Next-generation designs will rely on zero- and low-carbon fuels, energy storage, energy saving devices and wind-assisted technologies, rendering the future systems more complex compared to the state-of-the-art and their energy management challenging. Yet, the use of AI/ML methods and digital twins are expected to boost the development of innovative solutions to address the future power systems requirements.
This research aims to develop an AI-powered energy management strategy for next generation sustainable power plants operating with low/zero-carbon fuels and advances energy storage technologies.
