About the CDT
The Centre for Doctoral Training to Advance the Deployment of Future Mobility Technologies (CDT FMT) was established in 2019 by The School of Engineering and WMG, with an initial cohort of students across two streams: Wide Bandgap Power Electronics (WBG PE) and Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV)
The CDT vision is to develop multidisciplinary future research leaders with the creativity, skills and in-depth knowledge to transform the mobility of people and goods for the benefit of UK society and industry in an electrically intensive energy future.
Mobility systems are rapidly evolving, driven by technological advances, social trends and economic models. Both public and private agencies play a pivotal role in shaping these changes, and this new cohort-focused centre, with direct industry involvement, responds to emerging sectoral skills needs.
The CDT is no longer accepting new students; however, research activities in the two areas remain ongoing as the field continues to develop within both the School of Engineering and WMG.
