Northumbria University is advertising a Postdoctoral Research Fellow position on an EPSRC-funded project focused on sustainable de/anti-icing for cold-weather infrastructure. The project addresses ice accumulation on wind turbines, aircraft, and optical systems , aiming to replace energy-intensive approaches and PFAS-based solutions with a better strategy. The research combines novel slippery, PFAS-free coatings with active de/anti-icing using surface acoustic waves to shed ice on demand. The ro...

PhD studentship at the University of East Anglia, School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics, on developing a finite element based model for pellet relocation in nuclear reactor fuel. The project focuses on pellet-clad interaction (PCI) in nuclear fuel performance, with emphasis on modelling fuel pellet fragments, inertial behaviour, chemical species migration, and loss-of-coolant accident scenarios. The work compares and benchmarks modelling approaches in Abaqus and COMSOL, including the mo...
