Course summary

To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors. A PhD is the most internationally recognised research qualification, and is the most commonly pursued research degree at Leeds.We have long-standing and well-recognised capabilities for theoretical, experimental and computer modelling research in combustion, with a current focus on burn rate control, high pressure, ‘knock-free’ combustion, reduction of explosion risk, and control of jet-flames. Our research has resulted in a better understanding of the dynamics and mechanisms of controlled combustion (and uncontrolled explosions). New insights have been widely accepted and applied, resulting in improved fuels and better control of combustion in engines and turbines, with safety features to prevent explosions and detonations. In parallel, our fundamental studies have made major contributions to reductions in fire and explosion hazards throughout the automotive, aviation, and energy sectors. Other current energy-related research focuses on the role of energy storage in future energy systems, the development of novel hydrogen technologies, systems optimization of low carbon technologies, passive and active flow control to improve the performance of wind turbines, and distributed electric propulsion.
