The project is an exciting opportunity to undertake industrially linked research in partnership with Rolls-Royce (RR) at the RR University Technology Centre (UTC) in Electrical Systems at the University of Manchester.

The increasing use of liquid cooling in aerospace electrical machines introduces direct interaction between liquid insulation and solid insulation systems, the long‑term implications of which are not yet fully understood.

This PhD project will investigate the short‑term and long‑term interactions between liquid insulation and representative solid insulation materials used in high‑voltage aerospace electrical machines.

Based in the Rolls-Royce UTC in Electrical Systems at the High Voltage Group at University of Manchester, you will be responsible for undertaking the relevant laboratory based and computer based research under the guidance of Prof. Qiang Liu and his colleagues and in collaboration with relevant Rolls Royce staff.
