If you are an undergraduate student or MSc student at The University of Edinburgh, or an aspiring PhD student, or postdoc interested in working with me on the physics and mathematics of active and/or living matter please do get in touch. It would help me if you provide a brief summary of your academic/relevant background and particular interests in my research.
Below are more specific present, or upcoming, opportunities to work with me.
Advertised Edinburgh PhD Projects:
Optimizing active matter simulations through automatic differentiation (4-year project - Sept 2025 - Details see: https://www.mac-migs.ac.uk/projects-2024/ , scroll down to find the project or ctrl-f the project title.)
Statistical geometry of active matter (4-year project - Sept 2025 - Details see: https://www.mac-migs.ac.uk/projects-2024/ , scroll down to find the project or ctrl-f the project title.)
Upcoming positions:
Postdoc: 2-year (most likely for 2025-2027) postdoc position, funded by the Wellcome Trust, working on the computational and statistical physical modelling of Tau biomolecular condensates.
Potential PhD project areas:
Computational, including exploring ML/AI, frameworks to control active matter.
Stochastic systems in active matter.
Statistical physics and thermodynamics of nonequilibrium systems.
Optimization techniques in the context of many-body simulations of active and living matter.
Mathematical, computational, and physical modelling of biomolecular condensates.
