UK: Industrial Case Award- PhD Studentship at Loughborough University

Overview

The Control Systems Group at Loughborough University is offering a fully funded EPSRC Industrial CASE studentship for a suitably qualified individual to undertake a PhD research project in collaboration with BAE Systems. The project will investigate new methods for on-wing power management.

Value of this studentship

The studentship will include fees and a tax free Research Student stipend (living allowance) of £18,500 p.a. The duration of the award is three years, subject to satisfactory progress.

Target Candidates

Suitable candidates will be resident in the UK/EU and have, or expect to obtain, at least a good 2.1 or First Class Honours Degree in a relevant discipline.

The Research Topic:

Safety critical platforms, such as unmanned airvehicles, often have several sub-systems all of which are dependant on the availability of electrical power. The power generation and distribution systems on such platforms are becoming increasingly sophisticated in order to provide efficient and reliable distribution of power where it is most needed. Integrated health and power management systems are seen as filling an increasingly important role in terms of maintaining safe operations whilst increasing availability of the platform and its sub-systems.


This project will investigate methods of power system monitoring, fault detection and decision-making methodologies operating in real-time. It is intended that the methods will be integrated and applied to an alternator rig in BAE System's health monitoring lab to provide a real demonstration of a power management system.

The researcher will be based in the Control Systems Group at Loughborough, but will be expected to spend some time in the SEIC at Loughborough with possible short periods at BAE Systems, Warton.

The start date is flexible but must be before October 2010.
