Alireza Shamkhalchian devoted his PhD on the computational simulation of (in particular high-scale) flood inundation problems, where the simulations are a powerful tool for the risk mapping of floods as a central part of decision-making in the field of environmental management. The motivation of his research can be described as follows. Over the past decades …

Theresa Schoetz focused her PhD on a new concept of a non-aqueous rechargeable energy storage technology based on aluminium and a conductive polymer as the active electrode materials in a chloroaluminate ionic liquid. The principle is outlined on the left Figure. The motivation of the project was the study of an energy storage technology which …

Diego Panici conducted his PhD through the CDT-SIS at the University of Southampton focusing on the accumulations of woody debris at bridge piers. Woody debris can exert structural forces on bridge piers, block a substantial portion of the channel causing increased flood risk, and can exacerbate scour at the pier foundation that can result in …

Daniella Montali-Ashworth commenced her CDT-SIS studentship project by adapting a theoretical concept related to fluid dynamics interactions with aquatic plants to better understand fluid mechanics associated with a cylindrical cluster of bristles. From the desk, she moved into the laboratory to test her assumptions, before moving into a highly interdisciplinary realm to explore how …

CDT SIS Student Georgios Rempelos, supervisor Prof John Preston, Transportation Group. One area which has proven particularly controversial is the question of which sleeper material minimises whole-life greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as wood tends to be viewed as being a less carbon-intensive material than concrete. In terms of both environmental and economic performance, it is …
