Research
Research themes within the CDT-CMP span a range of disciplines in the field of hard condensed matter physics, encompassing experiment, theory, fundamental physics and device applications. We have more than twenty research supervisors associated to the centre, giving prospective students a broad range of training experiences and diverse set of project options.
Project themes
These are some PhD project themes which exemplify the range of subjects covered by the CDT. You will select your actual PhD research project during your first year. The projects on offer will be more extensive than those described in this example list. Superconductivity Research on superconductivity in the CDT is wide ranging, spanning fundamental […]
