We have 134 Computational Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships for UK Students
PhD studentship in Computational Physics and Chemistry, University College London, UK
A 3.5-year PhD studentship is available to work under the supervision of Prof Jochen Blumberger at the Condensed Matter and Materials Physics Laboratory, University College London, UK. Read more
Enabling high-accuracy first principles modelling of nanoscale systems: many-body quantum embedding in linear-scaling DFT
Density functional theory (DFT) has been the most popular method for understanding the electronic structure of materials from first principles for over 30 years, thanks to its balance of computational efficiency, accuracy, and simplicity. Read more
Searching for novel defects for quantum technology applications with first principles modelling
The success and widespread use of the next generation of quantum technology will fundamentally depend on the materials used to make them. Read more
Understanding the influence of extended defects and surfaces on defects for quantum technology applications with first principles modelling
The success and widespread use of the next generation of quantum technology will fundamentally depend on the materials used to make them. Read more
Improved CFD wall-boiling modelling to better account for heat transfer surface characteristics on the critical heat flux in nuclear pressurized water reactors.
The project will advance the accuracy of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models employed for predicting boiling heat transfer and particularly the Critical Heat Flux (CHF) in nuclear Pressurized Water Reactors (PWR). Read more
Unraveling Brain Complexity with fNIRS and Modelling Approaches
Brain function arises from a highly complex network of interconnected processes that we still don’t fully understand. Read more
Optical Fibres for Experimental Medicine
Two PhD studentships are available in association with "MicroTex", a 6-year EPSRC-funded project that seeks to accelerate the discovery of new treatments for infections, allowing scientists to reject poor candidate drugs and highlight promising ones at an early stage. Read more
Computer-aided design of surface interactions for sustainable plasma technologies.
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Low-temperature plasma-based technologies are essential for the modern world. For example, they are irreplaceable in the production of computer chips, where they routinely achieve atom-scale precision etching and deposition of materials. Read more

Deciphering the dynamics of abrupt ocean change and climate tipping points
Is it possible to radically alter the way that the ocean moves? Could we be doing this through global warming? Is there any way of knowing when such changes will take place? . Read more
Theoretical nuclear physics
This PhD project will involve joining the theoretical nuclear physics group at the University of Surrey to work on one of a number of current problems of interest including. Read more
Funded PhD in Sustainable Engineering – Modelling & Experimental Fluid Dynamics of Bubbly Flows
Microplastics pose a significant threat to aquatic ecosystems and human health. Bubbly flows—widely used in flotation and water treatment processes—offer a promising environmentally-friendly solution for their removal to help tackling microplastic pollution in the ocean. Read more
Investigation of semi-supervised solutions in cloud detection from remote sensing
Image-based pattern classification can be used for earth observation from satellite imagery to provide earth surface appearance as well as physical properties. Read more

(UoM - A* STAR) Combining twisted 2D Materials and metaoptics for mid-far-IR & THz light matter interaction
The electromagnetic radiation is one of the prime tools to investigate matter and its properties. This is made possible by the existence of efficient and compact sources and detectors in the whole spectrum, with the crucial exception of the low-THz/far IR range (between 3 and 30 THz). Read more
Fault-tolerant quantum computing for nuclear physics
This PhD project looks forward to the emerging generation of practical quantum computers which have sufficient error correction to perform reliable calculations of quantum algorithms which exceed classical computational ability – so-called quantum advantage. Read more
