Theoretical Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Scotland

We have 18 Theoretical Physics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in Scotland

A study of Sensing and Wireless Communications

This project is to investigate novel techniques for sensing and achieving efficient wireless communication. To fulfil the needs of future communication networks, the study will explore both the optical and radio frequencies for simultaneous sensing and wireless communications. Read more

Design and control of nanoparticle structuring and self-organisation

Nature forms many materials which possess intricate structures on length scales from nanometres to many microns, which are important in applications ranging from biological systems to porous materials for energy storage. Read more

Next generation single-photon avalanche diode for emerging quantum technology applications

We are seeing the second quantum revolution, bringing quantum theory out of the lab. The advantage of quantum theory is opening a huge range of application in many sectors such as environment, data security, telecommunication, defence and aerospace etc. Read more

Modelling ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in Earth’s magnetosphere

The Solar and Magnetospheric Theory Group (SMTG) in the School and Mathematics and Statistics, University of St Andrews, is looking for applicants for a funded PhD project for a start in September/October 2024. Read more

Intracellular Capillarity of Biomolecular Condensates

The emerging role of biomolecular condensates formed through a liquid-liquid phase separation process inside biological cells is driving a paradigm change in our understanding of cellular organisation. Read more

Designing Structured Surfaces with Superwettability Properties

The wetting behaviours of liquids on solid surfaces play an important role for a wide range of engineering applications, including coatings, electronics, oil recovery, microfluidics, and inkjet printing. Read more

Nonlinear optics in time-varying dielectric media

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

Getting up to speed with satellite broadband

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Application of digital holography for marine science

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Optical Fibre Applications for Sensors, Lasers or Communications

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Antimatter Chemistry: computational studies of matter-antimatter interactions

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Quantum Lidar: ultimate and practical limits of object sensing

Key Words. Quantum Optics, information, sensing.  In Lidar the task is to determine the properties of a remote object by illuminating it with laser light and detecting the scattered return signal. Read more

Foam improved oil recovery

Typically in oil and gas production, only a small fraction of the oil present manages to flow out of an oil reservoir under the reservoir’s own pressure. Read more
