[UK] PhD Studentships in Fire Safety Engineering - University of Greenwich

Several Ph.D Studentships With FSEG Available

The Fire Safety Engineering Group (FSEG) of the University of Greenwich, London UK is offering a number of three year PhD studentships in a range of fire and evacuation modelling application areas. A range of topics is available, the precise number of positions offered will be dependent on the nature of the projects accepted by successful candidates and the availability of PhD supervisors. However, it is anticipated that around four to six positions will be awarded.

Funding

Funding for the PhD studentships may be by one of several sources to be confirmed on a case by case basis. These include University Bursary and EPSRC funding. The nature of the funding will be dependent on the candidate eligibility and the availability of funds. The funding information indicated on the further details for each project represents the minimum financial support offered. In all cases, the studentship will pay the student a stipend and cover university fees.

The Projects

The projects, listed below in no specific order of preference, are concerned with the following broad topics:

  • The simulation of evacuation from rail car environments. (please refer to Rail Evacuation Modelling project)
  • Representing Building Familiarity and simulating Occupant Wayfinding Capabilities within egress models. (please refer to Wayfinding Modelling project)
  • The development of numerical techniques to assess building complexity. (please refer to Building Complexity project)
  • The Development, Implementation and Application of Elevator models within an evacuation modelling environment. (please refer to Elevator Evacuation Modelling project)
  • The simulation of evacuation from Very Large Aircraft environments. (please refer to Aircraft Evacuation Modelling project)
  • LES modelling as applied to fire simulation. (please refer to LES Modelling project)
  • Prediction of Soot generation in fires. (please refer to SMOKE Modelling project)
  • The use of Knowledge Based Technology to Optimise the solution of CFD based fire simulations. (please refer to KBS project)
  • The modelling of fire suppression using water mist. (please refer to Water Mist project).
