The DTC will meet the national and international need for mathematically strong physical scientists and engineers with advanced skills in TSM.
Doctoral Training Centre in Theory and Simulation of Materials
Department of Chemistry Staff (Professor Nicholas Harrison, Dr Sophia Yaliraki & Dr Patricia Hunt) are part of a team of researchers from the departments of Chemistry, Materials, Mechanical Engineering and Physics, led by Professor Adrian Sutton from Physics who have been awarded £6M by the EPSRC to set up a Doctoral Training Centre (DTC) in the Theory and Simulation of Materials (TSM).
The DTC will meet the national and international need for mathematically strong physical scientists and engineers with advanced skills in TSM.
The aim of the DTC is to train a new generation of postgraduates (over 50 PhD students over five years) to carry out cutting-edge multi-disciplinary research in TSM. The central theme is bridging length and time scales since the need to bridge scales poses some of the most challenging problems faced in industrial and academic research.
