PhD in Physics

Develop cutting-edge machine learning models to predict how materials break at the atomic scale. You'll create AI-driven simulations that reveal why tungsten, the leading fusion reactor material, transitions from ductile to brittle behaviour as the temperature drops, combining quantum mechanics, large-scale molecular dynamics, and deep learning. Work with world-leading researchers at Warwick and the Max Planck Institute for Sustainable Materials, mastering scientific machine learning, uncertainty quantification, and high-performance computing. Your models will inform fusion design and advance AI-for-materials.
