Scholarship Open for International Students: The students of UK/EU can apply for this scholarship.

Scholarship Description: This project presents an opportunity for an outstanding candidate to pursue a PhD  in the exciting field of Water Engineering using QPFs, a real time management tool focusing on prioritizing flood alerts to network operators. These are used to improve their proactive response to sewer flooding by extending the lead times using QPFs of different forecast horizons. The tool will include several components: data, simulation, decision making and visualisation, which will be integrated into one interactive graphical environment. PhD Studenships will provide decision support on operational and capital interventions in light of having timely and reasonably accurate forecast information, with an aim to improving sewer network management performance.

Number of award(s): One Studentship is offered.

Duration of award(s): Studentship is offered per year year for four-year studentship.
