Greenness versus greyness: greenspaces in and around cities for hazard mitigation and resilience - SENSE CDT
The overarching aim of this proposal is to increase our resilience to geo- and climatic hazards by assessing the current state and identifying the future potential of greenspaces in and around cities in the Global South to better inform future urban expansion. Read more
PhD Studentship in Hybrid quantum communication and sensing networks
One of the most exciting recent developments in physics has been the application of quantum physics to new technologies and the Sussex Centre for Quantum Technologies is one of the world’s leading centres for research in this area. Read more
Cosmological Modified Gravity simulations with massive sterile neutrinos
This project would involve setting up a large (>100 Mpc) cosmological simulation in the Modified Gravity (MOND) framework, but supplemented with 11 eV sterile neutrinos to make up the same total dark energy and matter density as in the Lambda Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmology. Read more
The Japanese Long-Baseline Neutrino Programme (T2K, SuperKamiokande and HyperKamiokande)
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
The particle physics and particle astrophysics (PPPA) group at the University of Sheffield has a long-standing involvement in Japan’s long-baseline neutrino programme. Read more
PhD programme in Physics
The PhD involves the completion of an original, scholarly piece of research. The courses available within the PhD programme in physics are in form of lectures, classes, seminars, tutorials, computer labs and others. Read more
Searches for supersymmetry and dark matter particles with the ATLAS experiment
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
The student will work on the analysis of the data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider to search for new particles that are postulated by Supersymmetry. Read more
Neutrino Oscillation Study and Nucleon Decay Search with DUNE
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
DUNE is a large international project to design, construct and operate a multi-kiloton scale liquid argon detector for neutrino physics, neutrino astrophysics and a search for physics beyond the Standard Model. Read more
Exploring the environments of exploding stars
Research Group:
Astronomy and Astrophysics
Supernovae are the explosive deaths of certain types of stars; in particular, stars a lot more massive than our Sun. The route from massive star formation… Read more
Dark Matter Search with the LZ Experiment
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a project to build and operate a high-sensitivity dark matter experiment in the deep mine at SURF in South Dakota, USA. Read more
Cosmic-Ray Muons in Different Applications
Research Group:
Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics
Cosmic-ray muons are known to be useful in applications beyond particle astrophysics. They have helped with mapping structure of volcanoes and with finding voids in various geological structures. Read more
The missing link between protoplanetary discs and planetary systems
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Recent surveys led by our group have discovered a large number of yet unexplored exosolar analogues to our Kuiper belt – bright discs made of planetesimals and asteroids in orbit around their central stars. Read more
The Non-thermal Emission from Colliding Winds Binaries
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Colliding Winds Binaries are stellar systems containing two (usually massive) stars each with a powerful stellar wind. In systems with O stars or Wolf-Rayet stars, the winds collide at very high speeds (1000-3000 km/s). Read more
Dust and gas filaments in the Interstellar Medium
Research Group:
School of Physics and Astronomy
Herschel observations have revealed that every interstellar giant molecular cloud contains a rich network of filaments (e.g. Andre et al. Read more
