PhD studentships

For information on PhD positions within the ITG please contact a member of the academic staff listed below directly, who will be very pleased to talk with you about their research and possible PhD projects.

John Lister (lister@damtp.cam.ac.uk) - surface-tension driven flows such as break-up, coalescence, wicking and clumping; mathematical analysis of fluid-driven fracture; bending and stretching of viscous and elastic filaments; the fluid dynamics of carbon sequestration.

Jerome Neufeld (j.neufeld@bpi.cam.ac.uk) - The fluid dynamics of carbon sequestration including mixing, dissolution, trapping through capillary forces; fluid driven fracturing; flow in poroelastic media; solidification in turbulent environments including magma chambers and polynyas.

Grae Worster (grae@damtp.cam.ac.uk) - Flows involving phase change, with particular interests in sea ice, the dynamics of marine ice sheets and the freezing of colloidal suspensions with applications including frost heave.

A list of additional PhD opportunities in the ITG may be found listed on the NERC funded Cambridge Earth System Science DTP.
