Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (Research)

HetSys is an EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Warwick which recruits students from across the physical sciences, mathematics and engineering and trains them to use their mathematical and computational modelling skills to solve complex problems in heterogeneous materials.

The transferability of this training allows HetSys students to address a very broad range of challenges in understanding the behaviour of heterogeneous materials across a range of length and time scales.

This is vital for the competitiveness of the UK's high-value manufacturing, high-tech and automotive industries.

CDT training will run throughout the four-year PhD programme, you will be recruited directly onto a project and will have a supervisor from the start of the course, as well as a second supervisor in a related area and a cohort mentor for academic and pastoral advice. In projects with industry links there will often also be an industry co-supervisor.
