PhD Studentship - Supramolecular Host Engineering for Enhanced CWA Capture and Neutralisation

University of Birmingham

Applications are sought for a fully funded PhD 3-year studentship position in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham (UoB) in collaboration with the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl). Background. We focus on a class of materials termed molecular capsules (doi.org/10.1039/D4CS00761A) that have potential applications as supramolecular hosts for sensing, separations and catalysis. Computational chemistry allows the design and discovery of new molecules and theoretical understanding....

PhD Studentship: Microlocal analysis and its applications in quantum resonances, partial differential equations with analytic or Gevrey regularity, and several complex variables

University of Birmingham

Microlocal analysis explores the classical/quantum correspondence in partial differential equations (PDEs). For example, the concept of symbol quantisation in the theory of pseudodifferential operators links classical observables (functions on phase space) with quantum operators. Microlocal analysis also provides essential tools to rigorously define, compute, and analyse resonances, which describe the oscillation and decay of waves in systems where energy can escape to infinity, replacing eigenvalues and eigenfu...

PhD Studentship: ML-Accelerated Excited-State Simulations of Perovskite Optoelectronics

University of Birmingham

Halide perovskites are a fascinating class of materials with a wide range of applications in (spin)optoelectronics. Their outstanding optoelectronic properties are strongly influenced by coupling between excited electronic states and the wildly vibrating atoms in these “soft semiconductors”. This can lead to the trapping of charge carriers and excitons (bound electron-hole pairs), shifted and broadened spectral signatures, and – paradoxically – either constitute a desirable material property or limit device perf...

PhD Studentship: Analysis of partial differential equations

University of Birmingham

This PhD project will investigate partial differential equations arising from kinetic models, with a particular focus on variational methods. The research will explore how variational structures, energy principles, and gradient-flow techniques can be used to analyse the existence, regularity, stability, and long-time behaviour of solutions to kinetic PDEs. The project aims to develop rigorous mathematical tools for understanding the connection between microscopic particle dynamics and macroscopic continuum descr...

PhD Studentship: Mathematical biology and population dynamics

University of Birmingham

This PhD project will develop mathematical models to investigate population dynamics in biological systems. Combining dynamical systems theory, mathematical modelling, and data-driven approaches, the research will explore how populations change over time in response to ecological interactions, environmental variability, and other biological processes. The project aims to provide new theoretical insights and quantitative tools for understanding complex population behaviour. Funding notes: For UK and EU candidates...

PhD Studentship: Regularized dynamical parametric approximations for gradient flows

University of Birmingham

Parametric integrators approximate solutions of (high-dimensional) partial differential equations by restricting the numerical approximation to a closed form that nonlinearly depends on, and is identified by, a set of parameters. Such methods are a popular choice in quantum dynamics, where the wavefunctions of many-body systems are approximated by multiple Gaussians. The methodology of interest further appears in the approximation of various dynamical problems by tensor networks and neural networks. In all these...
