The ICONIC project is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Actions, the UKRI Horizon Europe Guarantee scheme, and Innosuisse. The consortium aims to develop innovative digital and physical tools to achieve fundamental breakthroughs for the integrated control of wind farms, considering the whole physical system at farm, turbine, and component levels, in particular the complex aerodynamic interactions among turbines. The proposed integrated control solutions will be demonstrated by an extensive validation study via high-fidelity simulation models, experiments at a national-level wind tunnel, historical operational data, and real-world wind farm field tests.

The main task of this PhD project is to develop an integrated digital twin for estimating online loads and the remaining useful life of critical components of wind turbine. This PhD project is supervised by Professor Amir R. Nejad.

University of Southampton

We are looking for a highly motivated Research Fellow or Senior Research Fellow to work on novel technologies for fibre communication systems.

Be a part of the University of Southampton, an institution in the top one per cent of world universities and one of the UK’s Russell group research-intensive universities. We have an international reputation for research, teaching and enterprise activities. You will work in the world leading Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) and will have access to the world class facilities and dedicated researchers that this provides. The Telecommunications Systems Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment for experimentation in photonic systems and provides direct access to the UK’s National Dark Fibre Facility, a unique geographically distributed transmission facility dedicated to research, linking together four top British universities.

You will be part of the UK’s Federated Telecoms Hubs, which aims to revolutionize the communication infrastructures of the future. The project will design new systems based on multi-core optical fibres and carry out proof-of-principle experiments in customised high-speed communication testbeds. This will require an in-depth understanding of optical technology and the ability to develop novel solutions benefitting from novel fibre structures.

In addition to experimenting with multi-core fibres, you will take part in specifying the characteristics of these components prior to fabrication and will contribute to their characterisation. You will be responsible for designing and executing the experiments that will best describe their behaviour and you will demonstrate their potential in communication networks, often in collaboration with the project partners and other researchers within the group and the ORC.

To be successful, you must have a strong background in photonics and communications with extensive practical experience of working with optical fibres and systems. Ideally, you will also have experience in characterising optical fibres, photonic components, optical system modelling and/or the design and experimentation of high-speed optical communication systems.

You must also have proven skills in the critical evaluation and interpretation of data and of working as part of a collaborative research team. You must hold a PhD* or equivalent qualification related to fibre optics or photonics. Previous postdoctoral experience is favoured but not necessary.

* Applications for Research Fellow positions will be considered from candidates who are working towards or nearing completion of a relevant PhD qualification. The title of Research Fellow will be applied upon successful completion of the PhD. Prior to the qualification being awarded the title of Senior Research Assistant will be given.
