Engineering Doctorate in X-Ray Computed Tomography

Calibration of X-ray Computed Tomography X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) is increasingly being used for dimensional measurement in industry. The method is a potential measurement solution for the sophisticated components found in, for example, modern aero and automotive engines. In particular, XCT allows the measurement of both external and internal structures.

The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) is leading a nationwide integrated project team to address the challenge of calibration for XCT, so that measurements made on the systems are traceable back to national standards. We are recruiting for an Engineering Doctorate (EngD) student to work as part of the project team, which includes the Manufacturing Technology Centre, Loughborough University, NPL, Nikon Metrology and the University of Southampton.

Photon-component Interactions – Manufacturing Technology Centre, Loughborough University

The project looks at the interaction of the X-ray beam with components of complex geometries, with the aim of developing an appropriate calibration approach. You will be supervised by Loughborough University. You will spend the majority of your time working at The Manufacturing Technology Centre (www.the-mtc.org), will have
the opportunity to work at NPL and will be enrolled on the Manufacturing Technology 4 year EngD programme.
