PhD Cohort Programme in Sustainable Aviation
The Brahmal Institute’s October 2026 PhD Programme in Sustainable Aviation offers interdisciplinary doctoral research focused on disruptive ideas to transform aviation and significantly reduce its environmental impact.
PhD Studentship in Aeronautics
A fully funded PhD studentship in aeronautics focused on smart adaptive polymer materials for soft robotics and aero-robotic applications. The project develops lightweight, tactile-sensing and actuating composites using state-of-the-art facilities, starting between August 2026 and July 2027.
October 2026 PhD Cohort Programme in Sustainable Aviation

The projects will each pursue disruptive and transformative research to advance the sustainability of aviation. Each will investigate or develop technologies or policies with the potential to create a sector visibly different from today’s.
PhD Studentship in Aeronautics: Smart Adaptive Materials for Soft Robotics Skins and Aero-robotic

This project aims to develop novel multifunctional polymer-based composites for (soft) robotics, focusing on bio-inspired tactile sensing skins, actuators, and adaptive structures.
