Engineering

This Engineering PhD programme from the University of Huddersfield allows you to explore and pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to show evidence of original contribution to knowledge.

Facts:

• A PhD is a programme of research, culminating in the production of a large-scale piece of written work in the form of a research thesis that should not normally exceed 80,000 words (excluding ancillary data).
• Completing an Engineering PhD from University of Huddersfield can give you a great sense of personal achievement and help you develop a high level of transferable skills which will be useful in your subsequent career, as well as contributing to the development of knowledge in your chosen field.
• You are expected to work to an approved programme of work including appropriate programmes of postgraduate study (which may be drawn from parts of existing postgraduate courses, final year degree programmes, conferences, seminars, masterclasses, guided reading or a combination of study methods).
• You will be appointed a main supervisor who will normally be part of a supervisory team, comprising up to three members to advise and support you on your project.

Courses include:

• Inverse design of turbo-machines.

• 3D Imaging and Crime Scene Reconstruction

• 3D sound field analysis and fault prediction in and out of the smart home environment

• A Convolutional Neural Network Model Predicting the Thermal Behaviours of Machines for Fault Diagnosis

• A Physics Model based Convolutional Neural Network(CNN) for Dynamic Visualisation and Rotor Monitoring

• A Semi-Analytical Approach to Determining Velocity Profiles in the Near to Middle Distance Behind A Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine

• A smart diagnosis robot based on an active acoustic arrays

• A systematic research on ultra-precision manufacturing of functional surfaces with embedded on-machine measurement system.

• Additive Manufacturing of Ti Alloys Using NeuBeam Technology
