Explaining Correlations between Whistler Waves and Auroral Kilometric Radiation

Intense radio emissions are often correlated with whistler waves when observed on the ground, despite being produced by different processes in space. We will use numerical simulatio more...

Agent-Based model of stock markets

It is a matter of fact that a majority of people are affected directly or indirectly by stock market activity. They are affected directly, by trading assets in stock markets, and in more...

Machine learning and optimisation for modelling coral reef evolution

Globally, coral reef systems are under threat from major changes in environmental parameters (e.g. sea level, sea surface temperature, pH and water quality). Forward Forward Stratig more...

Carbon Zero by Off-grid Technologies

Off-grid houses are autonomous dwellings that do not rely on water supply, sewer, or electrical power grid, and are able to operate completely independently of all public utility se more...

Turbulent transport of algae in stably stratified rivers: a computational fluid dynamics study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. In rivers, these conditions allow buoyant cyanobacteria to float to the surface an more...

Multiple PhD positions are available in the field of granular mechanics and materials science.

The projects will focus on the process of “Granular Wear”, which occurs when moving objects through granular materials. Granular wear is a significant issue in mining an more...
