PhD Vacancy: UK Centre for Doctoral Training in Fusion Energy

I am currently looking to fill an open PhD position in a project titled:

Advanced Virtual Design of 3D Printed Fusion Reactor Components

This is to continue recent work that uses X-ray tomography, high performance computing and finite element analysis to design the plasma facing wall of the ITER reactor. Recent related publications can be found below:

Transient thermal finite element analysis of CFC-Cu ITER monoblock using X-ray tomography data

Thermal characterisation of ceramic/metal joining techniques for fusion applications
