The Centre for Compressor Technology at City, University of London has been pioneering the development of a new type of positive displacement screw machine, using co-rotational internal and external rotors. We will shortly be initiating a research project as part of an industrial collaboration to investigate the design and performance of these machine. We have opportunities for PhD level research positions to support this work, which will involve a range of computation and experimental analysis.
City, University of London is currently accepting applications for PhD Studentships (https://www.jobs.ac.uk/job/CDX580/phd-studentship). The deadline for these applications is 30th April 2021. Any applicants interested in pursuing a PhD relating to this novel compressor research project can contact Dr Matthew Read (m.read@city.ac.uk) to discuss your application in advance and develop a suitable research proposal.
