HetSys CDT
HetSys is an EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training. It recruits enthusiastic students (third intake October 2021) from across the physical sciences who enjoy using their mathematical skills and thinking flexibly to solve complex problems. By developing these skills HetSys trains people to challenge current state-of-the-art in computational modelling of heterogeneous, ‘real world’ systems across a range of research themes such as nanoscale devices, new catalysts, superalloys, smart fluids, laser-plasma interactions etc.
HetSys is built around a closely knit, highly collaborative team of academics from five science departments at Warwick with a strong track record in leading large projects. With its project partners HetSys develops talented, energetic PhD students to push boundaries in this exciting field. The students have the potential to inspire new ideas, approaches and innovation and become future leaders in developing new technologies. HetSys builds on Warwick’s Centre for Scientific Computing (CSC) and the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling (WCPM).

Multiscale Musings Podcast
We are pleased to announce that the second series of the Multiscale Musings podcast series has now launched. This is a series, created by the PhD students from the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems. The podcast features interviews with academics with research related to the key themes of the CDT.
