PhD Studentship: Digital-Twin Technology to Accelerate Development of Hydrogen Fuel-Cell Powered Aircraft

Job at University of Nottingham in Nottingham, Nottingham, NG7

Applications are invited for the above multiple research studentships to join the Power Electronics, Machines and Drives Research Group at the University of Nottingham. The PEMC group has undergone a significant period of growth and now has over 150 members, with 18 academics (including 7 full professors) and approximately 120 PhD students and post-doctoral research fellows. The group has excellent facilities for experimental work including approximately 2500m2 of research space and a construction and testing capability up to 5MW.

The successful candidate will conduct research within a team focusing on innovative electric propulsion systems for future de-carbonised, green aircraft and will support delivery of one of our new flagship EU-funded €40M NEWBORN – “NExt generation high poWer fuel cells for airBORNe applications” project (https://newborn-project.eu/).

We are inviting talented students to join the team to develop a real-time digital twin of the fuel-cell electric propulsion system. The tasks of this PhD include

Real-time digital twin technology review to understand this technology and its recent development for electrical engineering application.Real-time simulation platform skills development including Typhoon and SpeedGoat.Development of real-time digital twin (physical or Artificial Intelligent based) of electric propulsion system including propulsion motors, power converters, fuel cell and batteries etc within the real-time simulation platform.Training the development digital-twin using real-time data from hardware availableElectrical power level studies with developed digital twin to identify visible solutions for distribution electric propulsion.

These posts are open to both UK and non-UK students. Applicants should have first-class degree in electrical engineering or Aerospace Engineering with good electrical engineering knowledge.

Please contact Prof. Tao Yang (IET Fellow and Industrial Fellow of Royal Academic of Engineering) at tao.yang@nottingham.ac.uk for more information including funding opportunities (Full International Funding available for Excellent students).
