PhD in Material Sciences

Start date: 1 October 2026/nDuration: 3.5 years/nThis project combines experimental breakthroughs with advanced machine learning (ML) to transform how structural integrity is assessed and predicted for fusion materials and components. Partnering with the National Physical Laboratory ensures access to critical datasets, cutting-edge facilities, and industrial validation. The project aims to deliver robust, scalable, and transferable approaches to advance structural integrity management and support the UK’s fusion energy ambitions. Location: University of Surrey, Surrey, United Kingdom.
