[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Applications or resurgence at particle colliders

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
The equations of the Standard Model of particle physics admit non-perturbative solutions called sphalerons. These play an important role in the electroweak phase transition, a pivotal moment in the Universe’s history when the W and Z bosons acquired their mass through the Higgs mechanism. Read more
 Supervisors: Dr PM Millington, Prof C Englert

[School of Engineering PhD Scholarships] The Next Generation of Agile Mobile Robots

The University of Manchester
Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering
This PhD project will explore the design of future agile robotics systems. Many modern robots take inspiration from animals, but biological systems are constrained by millions of years of evolution. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Seeing the invisible: novel technologies for particle physics

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
In the 1960s, theoretical physicists wrote the rulebook for particle interactions. the Standard Model. For over fifty years the Standard Model has held up against every experimental test thrown at it, predicting the behaviour of matter with startling precision. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Machine-learning methods for analysing quantum turbulence in superfluid helium

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Quantum turbulence is a remarkable form of fluid motion that occurs in superfluids. Unlike turbulence in ordinary fluids, quantum turbulence is sustained by a dynamic tangle of quantized vortices, each carrying a fixed amount of circulation. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Actively sieving ions

The University of Manchester
Department of Chemistry
Biology relies on the exquisite control of ion transfer across cell membranes. Highly specific proteins distinguish between ions such as Na+ and K+, and this selective transport through ion channels is fundamental to cell function. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Heterogenous quantum-dot–rubidium interfaces: photon generation, storage and conversion for quantum networks

The University of Manchester
Department of Physics and Astronomy
Long-distance quantum communication is limited by photon loss in optical fibre. Heterogeneous quantum repeaters that combine deterministic III–V quantum-dot (QD) sources with room-temperature alkali-vapour memories offer a practical route to high-rate, fibre-compatible networks (Zajac et al., arXiv:2503.13775).
