Some of our current PGR students
Alex Gough
Alex’s research interest is gravitational dynamics. Their PhD is focussed on theoretical techniques in cosmic large-scale-structure formation.
Keaghan Krog
Keaghan’s interests are in quantum optics, condensed matter, and quantum mechanics. This has continued into their current research of hot-electron quantum optics.
Samuel Hartham-Evans
Samuel’s research interests relate to understanding ice-ocean interactions in the Arctic Ocean. Their PhD research project is investigating ‘internal solitary waves in ice-covered waters’.
Clarissa Barratt
Clarissa's research interest is in the use of single-electron sources to explore fundamental issues of solid-state physics and quantum-technology. Their current research focuses on calculating the degree of the effect of phase averaging in hot-electron interferometers.
Kate Brown
Kate's research interest is in quantum phase transitions with cosmology. Their current research is centred around using an analogue cold atom system to model the electroweak phase transition
Robert Cooper
Robert's current research interest is in Magnetohydrodynamics, Dynamo Theory, and Superfluid Turbulence.
Ryan Doran
Ryan’s current research interests include Bose-Einstein Condensates (BECs), Quantum vortices and turbulence in quantum fluids, Bright Solitons, and Modelling phase transitions in BECs. Their PhD research project is investigating Non-Equilibrium Dynamics and Turbulence in Disordered Bose Gases
Cetin Can Evirgen
Can’s research interests are in Dynamo action in the multi-phase interstellar medium, Dynamo theory, and Data analysis.
Thomas Flynn
Thomas’s research interest is ultracold quantum gases, in particular: self-bound droplets in Bose-Bose systems, beyond mean-field effects, dipolar Bose gases and supersolidity. Their PhD is focussed on Self-Bound Droplets in Two-Component Dilute Bose Gases.
Jack Walton
Jack’s research interest is in collective behaviour, a subject which seeks to understand how macro-level structures, such as flocks, schools and crowds, can arise from simple interactions between individuals.
Ashley Wilkins
Ashley’s research interest is looking into how the Non-Perturbative Renormalisation Group can be applied to stochastic processes.
John Moss
John’s research interest is in comparing existing sound proof models to ascertain how accurately they describe magnetic buoyancy. Their PhD research project is titled 'Buoyant Magnetic Fields in the Sun'
Ryan Newman
Ryan's research interest is in employing analytic, numeric and experimental methods to investigate flow patterns generated by the balancing of pressure gradient and Coriolis forces. Their PhD research project is titled 'Geostrophic adjustment in a rotating reference frame'
Francesca Caloro
Francesca's research interest is in symmetries and their breaking. Their PhD research is focused on momentum-space conformal field theory (CFT) and its application in holographic cosmology
Milos Indjin
Milos's research interest is in Quantum fluid applications in cosmology, computational cosmology, and machine learning. Their PhD research is focused on modelling dark matter as a BEC and seeing how this newly emerging approach affects cosmological structural formation
