Summary
Funded PhD opportunity for Oct 2024 start - open to UK fee status students only - on thermoacoustic instability and hydrogen - please email to enquire if you believe you meet funding eligibility requirement.
Aimee Morgans' research on sound and fluid dynamics is aimed at making energy generation and transport more environmentally friendly, and on mitigating the effect of climate extremes. She currently holds a €2M ERC Consolidator Grant (2018-23) on how sound and flow interact in low emissions combustors, and previously held a €1.5M ERC Starting Grant (2013-18) and a Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellowship (2004-09) on thermoacoustic instabilities.
Aimee Morgans joined Imperial as a Lecturer in 2007, becoming Senior Lecturer in 2011, Reader in 2014 and Professor in 2017. She has PhD, MEng and MA degrees in Engineering, all from Cambridge University. She was elected to Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2021 and was awarded the Menelaus Medal by the Learned Society of Wales in 2023.
