Future Energy Strategies for Transport Hubs

About the Project

We are recruiting several PhD students with a start date of January 2026

Successful students will join our Monash (Melbourne, Australia) - Warwick (UK) Alliance on the intersection of sustainable autonomous mobility.

This first PhD studentship will investigate methodologies for future energy strategies for airports in different geographical areas, working with experts from the following airports: London, Melbourne, Kuala Lumpur and Florence.

We are interested in the challenges that electrification (electrical and fuel cell propulsion) brings to energy provision at an airport ecosystem, and novel solutions that can be investigated to provide an accelerated path to a more sustainable future. Additional considerations will include potential changes in user transportation habits and the increasing role of autonomy both airside and landside.
