Available Projects

EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Formulation Engineering for Net Zero

New projects will appear here once they are confirmed. The current open projects have an application deadline of 17 January 2025: 

• Industrial Sponsored PhD: A ‘Lab on a Bench (LoB)’ setup equipped with Machine Learning (ML) as a high throughput (HTP) for formulation design and validation (PDF)
• EPSRC supported EngD: Computational modelling of drag reduction agents (DRAs) in pipe flow (PDF)
• EPSRC supported EngD: Sustainable consumer goods – from formulation to pilot process (PDF)
• EPSRC supported EngD: An experimental and computational investigation of inverse micelles (Word docx)
• EPSRC supported EngD: Developing novel sustainable dried capsules for consumer goods applications (Word docx)
• EPSRC supported EngD: Transforming the sustainability of formulated product manufacture in stirred vessels with CFD and AI-based models (Word docx)

Under the new EPSRC funding rules we can fund one international student per year on some of the CDT projects. These studentships are extremely popular and competition is intense.

We will examine every CV we receive but we are not able to respond to everyone. We will contact the candidates for an initial Teams/telephone interview. 

Other projects become available throughout the year so please contact us if you have a specific area of interest.

For informal queries please contact Dr Richard Greenwood or cdt-formulation@contacts.bham.ac.uk.
