1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Detecting rapid changes and tipping points in the abyssal ocean circulation
Summary of PhD Program:
The abyssal ocean circulation is key to Earth’s climate. Numerical models suggest that the circulation is slowing down dramatically. However, no approach exists to observe the circulation’s variability. This project will develop and apply the first approach to detect changes in the abyssal circulation from oceanic variables measurable from satellites.
Application Deadline: 6 May 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantifying Discretisation Error in Climate Models
Summary of PhD Program:
The focus of the project will be on developing new methodology which takes probabilistic numerical methods from largely limited to linear PDEs to being applicable to highly nonlinear PDEs such as Navier-Stokes. The project will involve applying techniques from statistics, data assimilation and machine learning to devise and analyse new probabilistic solvers, developing high-performance implementations of those solvers, and deploying them on HPC facilities to quantify discretisation error in chaotic phenomena such as eddy diffusivity the famous MITgcm model.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Improved prediction and forecasting of coastal compound flood hazard around the UK
Summary of PhD Program:
In low-lying coastal regions, flooding often arises from more than one drive such as oceanographic, fluvial or pluvial, a phenomenon that is known as ‘compound flooding’. This PhD will use a new km-scale system coupling atmosphere, land, waves and ocean. Modelling experiments across weather and climate timescales will further our understanding and improve the prediction of compound events and their potential changes in the future.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Cryosphere and Underwater Remote Inspection using Optic-fibre based Sustainable noise-Interferometry
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will demonstrate a novel, low-cost, wide-area approach using seafloor cables with natural sound to characterize the ocean and cryosphere. Tomographic techniques can be used to combine many acoustic paths to obtain the spatial structure in temperature and flow. This approach has been applied to sparsely-spread sensors; however, interrogation of fibre optics within legacy seafloor cables provides many acoustic measurements along the cable length. The larger number of sensor pairs and pair-wise separations decreases the noise averaging time from the hours-to-days typically needed to achieve oceanographically relevant accuracies to ~1 minute.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in On-chip quantum cryptography using two-dimensional materials
Summary of PhD Program:
In this PhD project, you will use two-dimensional (2D) materials as single-photon light sources. Strain and defect engineering in 2D materials can result in in-gap discrete energy levels in the electronic structure of the material, leading to the creation of single and entangled photon sources. The wavelength can vary from visible to near IR depending on the chosen material. Once the photo-emitters are generated in the 2D materials, they can be transferred onto almost any arbitrary substrates including silicon photonic circuits (waveguides, couplers, photonic crystal cavities, etc.), making them an even more attractive candidate for on-chip photon sources. Key challenges will be understanding the nature of the single and entangled photon emission in this family of materials and tailoring their properties to their potential usage in quantum communications.
