Researchers, students and technical team
The wider group includes more than 20 PhD students, over 60 PhD graduates and many research associates.
Our laboratories are run by a dedicated technical team, including a research team leader and specialist technicians who make prototype-scale testing possible, and who train the next generation of experimentalists.

PhD opportunities
We welcome enquiries from prospective doctoral researchers across all three pillars. Funded studentships are advertised throughout the year; strong self-funded candidates are encouraged to contact a potential supervisor directly.

How PhDs are funded here
Most of our doctoral researchers are funded through UKRI doctoral training partnerships and CDTs, project studentships attached to research grants, international schemes such as the China Scholarship Council, or industry co-funding. Self-funded candidates with a strong proposal are equally welcome; contact a potential supervisor to discuss the route that fits.
