Applications of Advanced Control and Optimisation in Battery Energy Storage System
This PhD project will focus on investigating model predictive control and optimisation methods and their applications in BESS
Robotics and dementia: Design a robot as a companion for people suffering from dementia
The project's aim is to design a companion robot which will move around in a residential area, home or care home.
Polymer characterisation - Gelation mechanisms
The ability of a polymer to gel when subjected to stimuli is of considerable importance in the production of smart polymers
Making super tough stainless steel even tougher - AI Materials
Steel company AI Materials needed to meet a new requirement to improve the mechanical strength and toughness properties of the super duplex stainless steel used in industrial fasteners at low temperatures
MiCRoN
Microscopes have very limited depth-of-focus. This imposes a variety of constraints when building imaging and vision solutions for microscopes. The MMVL vision software for the MiCRoN-project uses a geometric hashing technique to compare all images in an image stack with the scene
The use of confocal raman microspectroscopy in depth profiling polymer films
In collaboration with the Instituto de Cienncia y Tecnologia de Polimeros (Madrid) we have examined the extent of the surface modification of a polymeric membrane. The polymer (PVC) was modified according to the following reaction scheme
Novel joining techniques
This project will investigate novel processes for joining high strength stainless steel grades to zinc coated mild steel which can be easily transferred and integrated cost effectively into current automotive manufacture
Metals and Metallic Coatings
Corrosion tests can be performed on metals, alloys and metallic coatings, such as hot-dip and electroplated surfaces
