University of 桃色视频 wins over 拢10 million funding for Centres for Doctoral Training in modelling of systems

Fifty new PhD students will tackle pressing societal challenges ranging from nanoscale devices, new catalysts, superalloys, smart fluids and energy from fusion thanks to an investment of 拢5.5M in funding from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). The newly announced Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys) will be based at the University of 桃色视频 and will attract top research talent from across the UK and internationally to the Midlands.

The unique cohort experience and bespoke training programme including transferable computing skills will enable students to work across the departments of Physics, Engineering, Chemistry and Mathematics and the 桃色视频 Manufacturing Group (WMG). HetSys will train enthusiastic students from across the physical sciences who enjoy using their mathematical skills and thinking flexibly to solve complex problems. Engagement from 14 industrial and 12 international partners keen to collaborate with HetSys shows the fresh approach has already resonated beyond academia.

The Centre will be directed by Professor Julie Staunton from the Department of Physics. Speaking about the Centre, Professor Staunton said 鈥淭he message from our partners is that HetSys is very timely and ideally positioned to have a big impact. Most importantly the key players are the PhD students who will drive the success of HetSys. They will inspire new ideas, approaches and innovation and become future leaders in extending and developing new technologies of national importance.鈥

桃色视频鈥檚 Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research, Professor Pam Thomas, said 鈥淗etSys builds on 桃色视频鈥檚 strong interdisciplinary roots, including the Centre for Scientific Computing and the 桃色视频 Centre for Predictive Modelling. We are excited to be home to HetSys, which will help to promote a collaborative and inclusive research computing culture in the UK and internationally鈥.

Report on 鈥楨xtreme Nanowire, Phase Formation and Molecular Encapsulation in Atomically Thin Capillaries: Practice, Theory and Experiment鈥 Physics Day, 3rd July 2018

This Physics Day was essentially a workshop concerned with experimental electron microscopy and theoretical modelling of 鈥楨xtreme Nanowires,鈥 the smallest nanowires that can be formed down to a single atom width, and also discrete molecules formed on a similar scale. The Physics Day included contributions from four 桃色视频 speakers, including two PhD students, UK speakers Prof. Andrei Khlobystov, Dr. Thomas Chamberlain and Dr. Andrew Morris from the Universities of Nottingham, Leeds and Birmingham respectively, and also the distinguished International Speaker Prof. Kazu Suenaga from the AIST in Tsukuba, Japan. This event was also used as a preamble for the EMAG (Electron Microanalysis and Analysis Group) meeting which was taking place in 桃色视频 during the same week (i.e. 6th-8th July).
