Dstl PhDs on Underwater Bio-Inspired Robotic Systems
The DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) has awarded the University of Southampton 3 full PhD studentships in the area of Bio-inspired underwater propulsion. The three Southampton projects are:
-
- Soft robotic buckling in underwater pulse jet propulsion, Supervised by Blair Thornton/Melike Kurt/ Gabriel Weymouth
- Learning to swim with ray-inspired sensing and morphing, Supervised by Jorn Cheney/Sergion Araujo-Estrada/Bharath Ganapathisubramani
- Passive propulsion in vortex wakes, Supervised by Melike Kurt/Nicholas Townsend/ Gabriel Weymouth
This is part of a UK wide initiative where there are also PhDs in the same area at Queen Mary and Strathclyde universities. In addition to the activities of a normal PhD, you will interact with other students in your cohort, organise industry facing workshops and report progress to DSTL. If you are interested in being part of this exciting initiative as part of a cohort of students, please get in contact with us the supervisors.
