Supervisory Team: Imogen Gingell. Project description. When the solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetosphere, it is heated and slowed from supersonic to subsonic speeds at the bow shock. Read more
Supervisory Team. Dr Ioannis Kaparias. Project description. Travel time in transport networks is not constant, but entails an element of variability that can be an important source of time losses. Read more
Background: . The proposed project brings together two very different areas of research. First, the visual and oculomotor (eye movement control) mechanisms involved in reading. Read more
Metamaterials have revolutionised the way we control light waves. Essentially, by engineering the diffraction of light on sub-wavelength scales, one can design new exotic materials and novel applications, for example flat lenses, invisibility cloaks and negative refraction. Read more
Supervisory Team: Dr Sajjad Taravati, Dr Jize Yan, Dr Mustafa Bakr. Project Description: This project is part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Quantum Technology Engineering at the University of Southampton. Read more

Background. Aerial parts of plants originate from pluripotent cells in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). An important determinant of crop yield but also of importance to wild species in a natural environment is the correct timing of developmental transitions. Read more
A fully funded, 3.5-year PhD position is available in the Ion Trap Cavity-QED and Molecular Physics (ITCM) Group in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Sussex. Read more
This theoretical Project aims to study the generation of a new type of light waves emitted by materials the refractive index of which varies periodically and non-periodically in time. Read more
Young stars are variable due to the processes happening on the star and its protoplanetary disk at the time of planet formation. The star-disk connection holds the clues to several open questions including rotational evolution, the origin of our Solar System and the feasibility of habitable planets. Read more
