PhD Studentship in Energy Mapping and Optimisation on Cruise Vessels

4:49:00 PM

Vacancy Information
The UCL Energy Institute (www.ucl.ac.uk/energy) and the Department of Mechanical Engineering (www.mecheng.ucl.ac.uk) are collaborating with BMT Group Ltd, a company at the forefront of energy monitoring and marine engineering, to provide an exciting studentship opportunity associated with the energy mapping and energy efficiency of cruise ships.

All three partners are already working together in a broader study of the global shipping industry (the RC UK project Low Carbon Shipping - A Systems Approach). The successful PhD candidate will join large and productive research groups working on a variety of front-line issues related to energy and the environment - including the UCL Energy Institute's EPSRC funded Centre for Doctoral Research in Energy Demand - as well as spending time with the industry partner BMT Group Ltd.

About the UCL Energy Institute
The UCL Energy Institute was established as UCL's response to the global challenges of mitigating climate change and providing energy security in the 21st century, as well as to support the UCL Grand Challenges. UCL has a substantial track record of energy research and world-leading competencies in a wide range of disciplines; the mission of the UCL Energy Institute is to build on this foundation by coordinating and stimulating research on energy and carbon emissions reductions across the university. The Institute helps build multidisciplinary teams and supports academics in applying their skills to the energy problem.
