The School of Physics, Engineering and Technology brings physicists and engineers together to push the frontiers of knowledge, foster innovation and meet the grand challenges facing society. Our aim is to deliver world-leading research in both fundamental and applied areas whilst developing new technologies that work for the public good, in an environment where everyone can thrive.
As a School, equality diversity, and inclusion are central to our culture and we strive to provide a working environment which allows all staff and students to contribute fully, to flourish, and to excel. We aim to ensure there is a supportive and egalitarian culture at all levels and across all staff groups and offer a range of family friendly, inclusive employment policies, flexible working arrangements, staff engagement forums, campus facilities and services to support staff from different backgrounds. We are proud to hold Juno Champion and Athena Swan bronze awards, which recognise our commitment to creating an equitable and fully inclusive environment in which staff and students can thrive. We aim to inspire young people to engage with science and engineering through our outreach work.
This project will be in the Applied Electromagnetics Laboratory which has an international reputation in Electromagnetic Compatibility.
RoleAs part of the Europe Horizon Project, “PARASOL”, the associated PhD is funded until 30 September 2027, with the remainder self-funded. Funding may be extended by one year subject to confirmation by UKRI, this cannot be guaranteed.
Electromagnetic shielding is essential in nearly all electronic systems to prevent electromagnetic interference affecting the operation of sensors and wireless communications. This work aims to further the understanding of on- board shielding for power electronics and provide tools for simultaneous shielding design and waveform optimisation. ~~~~
The successful candidates will conduct research in electromagnetic shielding and waveform optimisation, whilst working towards their PhD in Electronic Engineering. In addition to individual research projects, researchers will benefit from further continuing education, which includes: internships and secondments with other members of the consortium across Europe; writing progress reports and publications, conference presentations, public engagement and outreach activities; and a variety of training modules.
