PhD position: Development of a dual-stage MHD-enhanced plasma wind tunnel for high-fidelity hypersonic environment simulation and defensive signature characterisation
University of Southampton
United Kingdom
Summary
PhD opportunity in plasma physics and hypersonics: create a dual-stage, contamination-free plasma wind tunnel (ICP + MHD) to replicate Mach 12+ re-entry, plus a high-fidelity Digital Twin for data-driven optimization and sovereign testing of thermal protection and defence resilience.
