HetSys: Computer Models of Matter that Matter
About the HetSys CDT
HetSys is an EPSRC-supported Centre for Doctoral Training. It recruits students from across physical sciences, mathematics and engineering 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, space plasmas 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 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 cross-departmental scientific computing research community and the Warwick Centre for Predictive Modelling.
New projects will be advertised towards the end of 2024 for entry in Autumn 2025.
