PhD Studentship in Additives for EV (Electric Vehicle) lubrication
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Additives for EV lubrication leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the UK/EU student rate) provided by Shell UTC.
This project is a part of a large effort for our zero transition initiatives. Our goal is to design the best coolant and lubricant for Electric Vehicle (EV) through a fundamental understanding on how we may control the behaviour of additives under the influence of an electric field. This has a direct impact on the performance and reliability of EV. Ultimately, we aim to revolutionise lubricant technology by creating smart, responsive lubricants that can lubricate on demand!
In this experimental project, the PhD researcher will examine how an application of an electric field affects the behaviour of various additives. This will involve both fundamental and applied studies…..
