Enhanced Stipend PhD Studentship (UK) funded by the UK government

Thermally Sprayed Coatings for ablation and high heat flux conditions

Background

UK applicants are invited to undertake a 3-4 year, fully‑funded PhD studentship (fees and enhanced stipend) within the Centre of Excellence in Coatings and Surface Engineering (CE‑CSE) at the University of Nottingham, funded by the UK government. There is a critical need to develop materials and coatings that can withstand ultra‑high temperature (UHT) conditions while maintaining structural integrity and functional performance.

The PhD Project

This exciting research project is actively seeking ultra‑high temperature (UHT) ceramic materials capable of surviving short‑duration exposure (on the order of seconds to minutes) under extreme...
