日期：2023年3月23日，星期四，雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学向两个早期职业研究团队授予了超过2.7万英镑的奖金，他们正在从事旨在减少电子和光学材料浪费的工程项目。 这些团队是工程系的博士后和博士研究人员。 第一个团队，驻扎在该大学位于st的光学技术中心。 asaph赢得24833英镑，用于生产薄膜光学涂层的新材料，这些材料具有优异的耐磨性，可以承受更极端的环境。 第二名获奖者是一名博士生，他赢得了2500英镑，购买了专业设备来测试计算机模拟的结果，以减少电子设备的热损伤。 这笔资金来自威尔士高等教育资助委员会（hefcw）。 来自optic的团队包括andrewclayton和davidcoathup，他们都是光学器件薄膜涂层材料的博士后研究员。 他们的申请在题为“冲击发生器”的竞标中给评委小组留下了深刻印象。 安德鲁和大卫将生产新的耐用薄膜涂层，在未来四个月内使用高功率激光进行测试。 这项工作将影响使用保护涂层的光学元件的生产，并在传统材料之上延长其使用寿命。 通过威尔士-欧洲资助办公室（wefo）的光子学专业知识中心（cpe）研究计划，该光学中心已经能够投资1英镑。 200万美元用于最先进的涂层设施，最近通过智能cymru及其2023年合作投标的建设能力获得了进一步投资。 克莱顿博士在听到wgu获奖的消息后说：“获得这笔资金对光学中心的涂层设施来说是一个真正的推动。 它将建立在最近获得的资本设备智能奖的基础上，这将使该涂料厂能够生产创新的薄膜材料。 “这项由雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学研究办公室授予的hefcw资金将为开发用于高功率激光应用的光学涂层材料提供宝贵的资源，并支持通过北威尔士增长协议获得的计量能力。 “它还将允许探索零碳能源发电的进一步研究机会，利用这些创新材料所表现出的广泛特性。 博士生安德鲁·夏普目前也是雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学电气工程高级讲师。 到目前为止，安德鲁和他的同事们只能使用计算机程序来模拟结果。 这笔钱将使该团队能够购买材料并建造一个测试站，以了解延长电子元件寿命的最佳温度。 研究人员希望这一结果能够被整合到电动驱动器的设计中，在这些驱动器中，部件处于高热应力下，例如电动汽车。 这项工作希望鼓励工业合作，进一步发展这种先进的工程。 安德鲁补充道：“我很高兴能够成功申请这笔研究经费。 “这笔资金将使我能够进行必要的物理测量，以验证我迄今为止获得的计算机模拟结果。 这将是我博士学位的一个关键方面，我的研究领域将有助于更好地了解半导体电子元件内的热分布。 “这些奖项突出了该机构旨在对企业、社会和环境产生真正影响的创新研究。 雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学也为支持早期职业研究人员的专业发展和进一步实现他们的职业目标而感到自豪。 雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学也为支持早期职业研究人员的专业发展和进一步实现他们的职业目标而感到自豪。date: thursday 23rd march, 2023 wrexham glyndwr university has awarded more than £27,000 to two early career research teams, who are working on engineering projects aiming to reduce electronic and optical materials waste.these teams are postdoctoral and phd researchers within the engineering department.the first team, based at the university’s optic technology centre in st. asaph won £24,833 to produce new materials for thin film optical coatings that have excellent wear-resistance to withstand more extreme environments.while, the second winner, a phd student, won £2,500 to buy specialist equipment to test results from computer simulations for reducing heat damage in electronic devices.the funding has come from the higher education funding council wales (hefcw).the team from optic includes dr andrew clayton and dr david coathup, who are both postdoctoral researchers in thin film coating materials for optical devices. their application impressed the panel of judges in a competition bid entitled ‘impact generator’.andrew and david will produce new durable film coatings to be tested using high powered lasers over the next four months. this work will impact the production of optical components that use protective coatings and extend their lifetime durability over and above conventional materials.through the centre for photonics expertise (cpe) a welsh european funding office (wefo) research programme, the optic centre has been able to invest £1.2m in a state of the art coating facility and has recently secured further investment through smart cymru and their building capacity for collaboration bid 2023. on hearing about the wgu award win, dr clayton said: “receiving this funding is a real boost to the coating facility at the optic centre. it will build on the recent success gained from the smart award for capital equipment, which will allow the coating plant to produce innovative thin film materials.“this hefcw funding awarded by the wrexham glyndwr university research office will provide valuable resource to develop these materials for optical coatings used in high-powered laser applications and support the metrology capability secured through the north wales growth deal.“it will also allow for exploration of further research opportunities in carbon-zero energy generation, exploiting the broad range of properties these innovative materials exhibit.”the phd student, andrew sharp, is currently also a senior lecturer in electrical engineering at wrexham glyndwr university.andrew and colleagues have so far only been able to simulate results using computer programs. this money will allow the team to buy materials and construct a testing station to understand the optimum temperature for extending the life of electronic components.the researchers hope that the results can be integrated into the design of electric drives where components are under high thermal stresses, such as in electric vehicles. the work hopes to encourage industrial collaborations to further develop this advanced engineering.andrew added: “i am delighted to have been successful in my bid for this research funding.“this funding will allow me to make the physical measurements necessary to validate the computer simulation results that i have obtained so far. this will be a crucial aspect of my phd, which is in an area of study that will result in a better understanding of the heat distribution within semiconductor electronic components.”these awards highlight the institution’s innovative research that aims to make a real impact for businesses, society, and the environment.wrexham glyndwr university is also proud to support early career researchers’ professional development and to further their career goals. .亲，点击此处在线申请留学咨询服务和报名评估！我们将竭诚提供最佳评估服务！
