Multiparametric geophysics and geothermal resources
Geothermal fluids are rich in heat and can hold a wealth of valuable minerals. A key challenge is finding these fluid reservoirs and assessing important parameters such as porosity, permeability and conductivity. Read more
High-precision seismology to understand slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes remain one of the most important unexplained phenomena in fault mechanics. These ruptures are now routinely observed all over the world, often right next to or below large megathrust earthquakes. Read more
Granular dilatancy and the mechanics of faults
Many faults that generate earthquakes are clogged with water-saturated gouge. This granular medium likely plays a role in the fault’s response to stress. Read more
From dislocations to subduction: the microphysics of olivine deformation and its geodynamic implications
The dynamics of plate tectonics and mantle convection are inseparably coupled. Rigid oceanic plates are made from the same material as the ductile mantle below, but are much colder. Read more
Unravelling the Mechanism of Turbulence Suppression in Magneto-convection Pipe Flow (S3.5-MAC-Marensi)
The project combines state-of-the-art advanced mathematical tools and numerical simulations to better understand, model and predict turbulent flows for applications to fusion technology and the clean-energy sector. Read more
Metamaterials for catalysis
A meta-atom is an engineered sub-wavelength structure that, when periodically arranged like an atomic lattice, enable optical, electronic, thermal, and chemical functionalities not seen in conventional designs. Read more
Self-organized guidance in collective cell migration (S3.5-MPS-Ucar)
We are seeking PhD candidates who are passionate about exploring scientific questions at the intersection of physics, biology, and data science to join our new research team in “Physics of Life” at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sheffield. Read more
Manufacturing process simulation for high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (C3.5-MAC-Qian)
Project details. There has been growing interest in applications of compression moulded high-performance discontinuous fibre composites (DFCs) across many industries such as automotive, aerospace and space. Read more
Collective morphodynamics in the central nervous system
We are seeking PhD candidates who are passionate about exploring scientific questions at the intersection of physics, biology, and data science to join our new research team in “Physics of Life” at the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, University of Sheffield. Read more
Towards compact Gamma-ray Free Electron Lasers
ver the past few decades, X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) have become the pre-eminent tool for studying the structure and dynamics of materials at the molecular scale. Read more
Multi-staging scenarios of plasma modules at CLARA FEBE
Charged particle beams and high-power laser pulses can drive electric fields orders of magnitude larger than those generated in cupper-based cavity resonators. Read more
THz driven acceleration and deflection of relativistic beams.
THz driven modulation of relativistic beams has been previously demonstrated by the supervisors and CI colleagues, students and post-docs. Read more
Exploring novel photoemission regimes with laser-driven terahertz fields for next-generation electron sources
Applications are invited for a fully funded studentship starting Oct 2025 aiming to enhance the performance of electron sources by exploiting novel photoemission schemes using nano-structured photocathodes driven by strong-field terahertz (THz) pulses. Read more
Super-macro-particles to improve in PIC codes
PIC codes are used extensively in both conventional beam dynamics and laser plasma interactions. Macro-particles are essential given the large number of particles one wishes simulate. Read more
Delivering hydrogen ions for use in precision matter / antimatter experiments
The ALPHA experiment at CERN performs precision atom physics experiments on trapped antihydrogen, having performed numerous first measurements on this exotic antimatter including the first measurement of the gravitational eIect on anti-atom motion and the first lineshape measurement of the 1S – 2S atomic transition [1,2].
