Research in the School of Chemical and Process Engineering takes a multi-disciplinary and modern approach to Chemical Engineering, integrating world-leading analytical infrastructure and state-of-the-art physical science. The breadth of our capabilities allows us to take a true ‘atoms-to-products’ approach to process engineering and design, with impact across virtually all industrial sectors. To complete a postgraduate research programme, you’ll need to be dedicated and passionate about your area of study. But it’ll be well worth it. Being a doctoral student is challenging, yet incredibly rewarding. You are expected to carry out a programme of research in a particular area under the supervision of a primary supervisor and one or more co-supervisors.The Nuclear Engineering Group is multidisciplinary academic team, covering various research areas across the nuclear fuel cycle. We have a strong working relationship with industry to provide a firm basis for the relevance of our research, and a long track record of research partnerships with companies and organisations across the UK’s civil nuclear sector. Currently, we are active in £3m of research funding, from RCUK, EU, BEIS and industry. Additionally, the University has invested over £1.25m into specialist laboratory facilities, including new uranics laboratories providing researchers at Leeds, and from across the UK, with wet and dry process engineering facilities and a rig hall, opening up new opportunities for work on the nuclear fuel cycle.
