The Midlands Centre for Data-Driven Metrology

Centre for Doctoral Training

The MCDDM Centre for Doctoral Training will provide a pipeline of trained engineers with expertise in digital manufacturing and metrology techniques. Starting in October 2021, a number of positions will be available to those interested in undertaking advanced study and research in these fields.

Doctoral positions are supported by industrial partners of the MCDDM, and supervised by academics of the University of Nottingham, Lougborough University, and Coventry University. Competitive funding for positions will be available to high-quality UK candidates. Standard admission requirements of each University, including academic and language requirements, will apply to these positions. 

Please find below a list of suggested topics for doctoral study, along with details of the supervising academic(s). If you are interested in applying for these projects, please contact Katie Blake as an expression of interest in the first instance.
