Studentship in Physics, University of Kent, UK -The PhD project concerns novel ways to characterize disorder in complex structures. The PhD project combines condensed matter approaches with advanced methods from the theory of complex systems. The aim is to overcome classical approaches for structural characterization that are shortcoming in distinguishing between randomness and complex forms of structural organization.
The departmental studentships will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU rate plus a maintenance grant. The maintenance grant will vary in amount, but may be up to a maximum which is equivalent to the Research Councils.
The outcomes of this project have direct applications to the study of new advanced materials where organized disorder is one of the key ingredients for boosting the performances of future materials. Broader applications also concern other fields where structural complexity plays a major role; these include biological systems and financial markets.
