Research topics and projects
Below is a full list of the PhD research projects that supervisors have identified for potential students. Projects identified as funded typically only cover UK national students; however, some funded projects can be extended to cover international fees. Please contact the supervisor to discuss this. Projects listed as unfunded may become funded in the future, so if the topic interests you we encourage you to apply to it and contact the indicated supervisor, and to consider if you may be eligible for any independently funded studentships.
*Please note: projects for October 2026 start will be advertised towards the end of October 2025*

CDT in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems - HetSys
The HetSys Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) at Warwick recruits students from across physical sciences, mathematics and engineering who enjoy using their mathematical skills and thinking flexibly to solve complex problems.
More information on the research topics and how to apply can be found on the HetSys webpages.
Elementary Particle Physics
A short overview of the project areas can be found on the group website. Enquires can be made to Dr. John Marshall (John.Marshall@warwick.ac.uk)
Areas of activity:
The Warwick EPP group is strongly involved in the ATLAS and LHCb experiments at the LHC (at CERN), and also in the field of neutrino physics. Within neutrino physics, we’re involved in the DUNE and MicroBooNE experiments (in the USA), the T2K and Hyper-K experiments (in Japan) and the JUNO experiment (in China). We’re also involved in a number of projects developing new detector technologies.
