PhD EPSRC CDT in Developing National Capabilities for Materials 4.0, with the Henry Royce Institute

The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0 (CDT in Materials 4.0 CDT in Digital Materials) is a 4-year Postgraduate Research programme coordinated by the Henry Royce Institute .
Although there is a cohort-based training component in which cohorts come together, you will start your research from day 1
Materials 4.0 is the digital materials revolution that will accelerate the discovery, innovation and validation of new materials systems. It aims to maximise the value of materials data and link the digital and physical via cyber-physical systems for prediction, classification and control of material performance. Globally, companies are racing to adopt a materials informatics framework, combining capabilities from risk management, materials modelling, artificial intelligence machine learning, manufacturing informatics and life-cycle simulation.
The Materials 4.0 CDT programme is structured to allow PGRs to engage with their research projectsfrom the get-go. Aresidential induction, which will be delivered as soon as the academic year in all participating institutions has started, will begin to build intra-and inter-cohort cohesion and then early commencement of research will give our PGRs opportunities to establish relationships with their supervisors, host research groups and industrial sponsors from the outset. The training programme will interleave activities with ongoing research, building from basic learning to leadership over four years
