Joint PhD Studentships (2024)
The University of Hull (UoH), UK is a long-standing partner of the China Scholarship Council (CSC) and is again offering full tuition fee scholarships for the selected students via the CSC PhD scholarship in 2024. In the School of Engineering, The UoH/CSC PhD Scholarships (~£17000/year tuition fee plus ~15000/year living cost for a duration of 4 years) are open to outstanding Chinese applicants (up to 15 posts) in the following priority research directions and areas supported by the UKRI, The Royal Society, the EU Horizon Programme, etc.
1. Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies (先近材料与制造技术)
Research areas:
• In situ and in operando studies as well as advanced numerical modelling and simulation of materials structure evolution in solidification, phase transformation and additive manufacturing processes. We are using the state-of-the-art electron, synchrotron X-ray, neutron and X-ray free electron laser-based imaging, tomography, diffraction and spectroscopic techniques to conduct world class cutting-edge materials research.
• Design and development of advanced structural and functional materials, e.g., metallic alloys, composites, metallic glasses, 2D functional materials and biomaterials, as well as advanced external physical fields (ultrasound and magnetic fields) material and external field enabled additive manufacturing technologies.
2. Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Technologies (再生能源与存储技术)
Research areas:
• Design and development of efficient and low-cost manufacturing technologies for hydrogen production and the manufacturing of the hydrogen storage materials, as well as reliable control of the hydrogen storage and release cycles.
• Offshore wind, wave, tidal energy and energy storage technologies, sustainable control of energy systems, reliable and faulty tolerant control in wind energy and wave energy generation.

关于学校：
赫尔大学位于东约克郡，以英国本土学生为主，为国际学生提供了良好的语言环境，
此外，生活成本全英最低，CSC奖学金能很好地cover整个学习生涯。
学校综合排名在英国高校是中游水平，但对于研究来讲，专业排名和业内口碑更加重要。课题组的实力在整个学术和工业界均有很高的认可度，毕业于本课题组的学生基本都在海内外著名实验室或高校任职。
国内一些不错的学校，譬如清华上交，也有经常性来交换。学校是工科强校，很多项目都是比较接地与工业界合作。
课题组学习氛围浓厚，实验室设备齐全，资金充足，十分鼓励和支持学生积极参加各类国际学术会议，每年都目标在Top-level journal如Acta Materialia上发表论文。
同时，课题组每年都会前往Diamond Light Source, UK, Advanced Photon Source, USA, European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, France, Swiss Light Source, Switzerland, European X-ray Free Electron Laser, Germany等世界一流的光源实验室交流学习，开展实验。
