The Sustainable Energy Materials Innovations PhD is an interdisciplinary PhD programme training students in physical science and engineering. Students work on interdisciplinary projects related to the materials needed to deliver net zero by 2050. PhD projects are co-supervised by at least two supervisors from different disciplines and most will include collaboration with an industry partner. See here for a link of projects offered for 2026 entry.
Training is interspersed throughout programme and includes:
- Life cycle analysis project (run jointly with Advanced Materials for the Energy Transition MPhil)
- Cambridge Zero Postgraduate Academy
- Regular seminars and PI academic perspective talks
- Career development and innovation training
