Government of the UAE, IRENA Scholarship Programme for International Students

The Programme extends to the eight Master of Science Programmes offered at MASDAR Institute. All IRENA scholars are entitled to generous benefits and are offered IRENA’s exclusive Lecture Programme, which will provide IRENA’s scholars with an overview of the current state of renewable energies.

In the following text, interested students can find all necessary information and specifics or useful links to further sources that explain the MSc Programmes, entry requirements and the selection process. Extensive information can be retrieved from IRENA’s and MASDAR Institute’s websites
During these two years Programmes, IRENA’s MSc scholars will work on a research project and can select between the below listed MSc Programmes. The study is completed with a Master thesis. Research project and Master thesis shall be relevant to renewable energies

International PhD Scholarship in School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences at UCL, UK

Applications are invited for a full-time scholarship available in the School of Computing, Engineering and Physical Sciences. The scholarship is tenable for up to 3 years for a PhD (via MPhil route) [subject to satisfactory progress] and is open to international applicants only. UK/EU applicants are not eligible to apply. The scholarship will provide £15000 towards the cost of the International tuition fee over 3 years. Manufacturing limitations and operational strains placed on wind turbine blades lead to fatigue and a shortened working life. The advent of flexible, aeroelastic blades (rather than rigid forms) will offer advantages in increasing fatigue life but challenges in geometrical, structural and aerodynamic characterisation. Wind tunnel trials do not scale up well to real life blades so that a fundamental understanding of the underlying physics is necessary if innovative large scale flexible blades are to be modelled successfully.
Against this background, the main objectives are:
1. The development of structural dynamic and FEA models for the complete wind turbine rotor or blades that can handle highly nonlinear effects e.g. from flexible blades with complex laminated composite and composite sandwich skins and webs;
2.The development of advanced models on rotor and blade aerodynamics, covering full 3D CFD rotor models, free wake models and improved BEM type models;
3. The advancement of computational mathematical models for the complex fluid-structure interaction problems that play a critical role in wind-turbine blade design, providing also a fundamental tool for a better understanding of the underlying physics;
4. To calculate the torque and thrust on the wind turbine generator under different wind speed and rotor geometry and therefore to predict the material strength needed in different environment and minimize the damage to the rotor.
5. To predict the rotor speed on varying wind speed, rotor geometry, and rotor load. And to simulate both transient state and steady state motion of the rotor, finally optimize the shape of the rotor blade and therefore maximize the power capacity.

Musculoskeletal problems in young people are common and consume considerable health resources. To date there has been limited focus on the aetiology and natural history of these disorders. Studies have in the main focused on older people because of the societal cost of disability. However there is some evidence that musculoskeletal disorders of the lower limb in young adults may be associated with longer term problems. This PhD programme will take an epidemiological approach to investigating the prevalence of, incidence of and risk factors for lower limb problems in young adults
