Supervisors: Dr Laura Mainini and Billy Wu
Deadline: until filled
Applications are invited for a Ph.D. studentship at the Brahmal Institute, a collaborative research centre at Imperial College enabling blue-sky thinking to address adverse environmental impacts of aviation. The project is cross-disciplinary and the successful candidate will collaborate with leading researchers within Imperial.
This project is cross-disciplinary and focuses on Design optimization of hydrogen fuel cell-powered aircraft, working across two different departments within Imperial, the Dyson School of Design Engineering and the Department of Aeronautics
Hydrogen fuel cells have huge potential to power low-carbon next generation aircraft, however challenges around performance, lifetime and cost remain barriers. In addition, the integration of these power solutions on board air-vehicles introduces specific design challenges that require the development of novel power and thermal architectures, with impact on both configurations and operations of the future aircraft.
This project will leverage multi-scale modelling approaches for hydrogen fuel cells (at the cell, stack, and system level), towards an aircraft design optimization framework. Advanced multifidelity and active learning methods for modelling and optimization will be developed to address the integrated design problem.
Applications are invited from candidates with (or who are expected to gain) a first-class honours degree or equivalent in a suitable field such as engineering, computer science, physics, or atmospheric science.
