1. Modelling the use of phase change materials in buildings to develop low energy cooling.
2. Professor A.W. Woods BP Institute and Dr. J. Adams (BP) The project will involve experimental and theoretical modeling of the use of phase change materials in low energy building design, especially in the context of using pcms with night cooling, to provide cooling during hot summer conditions. The project will involve development of mathematical models of the pre-cooling of air by heat exchange with the pcm`s, combined with models of the nonlinear convective flow in the building which controls the flow rate; in addition, the modeling will account for the absorbtion of heat in the pcm`s during the day, and the subsequent solidification as cooler air is brought into contact with them through the night. Evolution of Conjugate Deep-Water Margins
Dr. N. J. White, Dr. A. Crosby, Dr. M. Thompson (BP ) and Dr. R. Corfield (BP ) Ocean basins form when continental lithosphere is stretched to infinity. During the early stages of this process, modest stretching generates an extensional sedimentary basin which evolves into a conjugate pair of more highly stretched margins. Structural and stratigraphic patterns of these margins yield important insights into the dynamical evolution of lithospheric stretching and ocean basin formation. The most hotly debated issues concern the symmetry of this process, the form of depth dependent extension, and the possible existence of hot, cold and even warm margins.

Furthermore, the subsequent stratigraphic history of each margin is moderated in significant ways by tilting and vertical motions generated by mantle convection processes. Both topics are of considerable interest to the hydrocarbon industry.

In recent years, large amounts of industrial and academic deep seismic reflection and wideangle data, calibrated by boreholes, have been acquired across many conjugate margin systems throughout the Atlantic Ocean and, at present, within the Arctic Ocean. During this project,a comprehensive seismic database will be developed, mapped and analyzed in conjunction with well-log information and other geophysical observations. Crustal and stratigraphic data will then be modelled using a suite of inverse algorithms which permit the strain rate history in time, distance and depth to be recovered.

The main aims will be to explore how well simple models can account for a wide range of observations, to compare detailed rift architecture with predicted strain rate histories, and to constrain the history of subsequent tilting and vertical motions as conjugate margins spread apart. We are especially interested in explaining lateral variations in thermal histories and in vertical motions maintained by mantle convection processes. An important component of the project will be analysis of newly acquired surveys from the Arctic Ocean. This pro ject will appeal to geology and/or physics graduates who are interested in understanding how conjugate margins evolve and in how these margins record later vertical motions.

He/she will be trained in many aspects of seismic data manipulation, computer modelling and hydrocarbon exploration. The pro ject will be carried out in close collaboration with our colleagues in BP Exploration. White, N., Thompson, M. & Barwise, T., 2003.

Please note that scholarship recipients must attend their course for its entire length (3 years – 180 credits).

Students who have already attended other university courses can ask for a credit transfer up to a maximum of 10 credits per year (30 credits in total). Please note that credits achieved in preparatory courses or in the first year/second year in systems where preuniversity education lasts 10/11 years can not be taken into account.

Scholarships

Selection criteria
Applicants will be selected based on their previous academic career and on their Curriculum Vitae.

Amount of the scholarship
The gross amount of the Vercelli Campus scholarship is 10.000 Euro per year (30.000 Euro for the complete period). The exact net sum is dependent upon the individual tax conditions of each student, which can be verified only upon the arrival of the student. The amount of the scholarship will not be increased in case the student will need more time to graduate than indicated. The allocation of the scholarship is dependent upon the submission, within 10 days from the arrival in Italy of the student, of the original documentation, which must correspond with the documentation attached to the online form (see the "Selection outcomes" section below).

Payment of the scholarship occurs periodically. The first instalment is dependent upon the possession of the relevant documentation (residence permit, Italian fiscal code, and bank account in the name of the scholarship recipient), all obtainable upon arrival in Italy; for this reason, the first instalment is not paid at the moment of arrival at the Politecnico di Torino, but in the course of the following month. Requirements to maintain the scholarship Given that it is not possible to combine the benefits received from more than one scholarship, students who are assigned another study grant while receiving the Vercelli Campus scholarship must promptly notify the Politecnico di Torino.

Payment of the scholarship will be suspended if the academic performance of the recipient does not meet a satisfactory level.
