ENGINEERING: FULLY FUNDED ENGD SCHOLARSHIPS: COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING EPSRC CENTRE FOR DOCTORAL TRAINING (CDT) IN FUNCTIONAL INDUSTRIAL COATINGS
Swansea University has been awarded major funding for a Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Functional Industrial Coatings.
The centre for doctoral training, led by Professor James Sullivan and Professor David Penney, has been co-created with a range of industry partners to produce 50 doctoral graduates who will develop the next generation of functional coated products. These include next generation energy producing coatings, smart release anti-corrosion systems and antimicrobial systems for healthcare. The centre will accelerate the translation of academic research from the laboratory to the factory whilst developing the industry leaders of the future.
The CDT will enrich graduates with additional professional, ethical and communication skills that will enhance their career prospects. Our graduates will actively engage with the wider community to promote coatings and STEM more generally with a view to increasing participation across the population.
