PhD studentship opportunities

​

In order to achieve net zero by 2050, a paradigm shift in energy conversion technologies is needed. Superconductors are a key enabling technology to realize a zero carbon future. Some emerging technologies include superconducting motors and drives for zero emission propulsion, superconducting cables for renewable energy integration and superconducting magnets for fusion.

​

An enthusiastic PhD student is invited to join the Applied Superconductivity Group to conduct research in the design, construction and testing of superconducting technologies for energy conversion. Details can be found in the link below.
