My PhD project focuses on understanding the fluid dynamical processes present in planetary systems such as in the Earth's liquid iron core. Here at the University of Leeds we tackle this problem using numerical simulations but we wanted to try and unify our results with those from laboratory experiments. In September-October 2019, I visited Prof. Jon...
CDT student John Ashcroft was interviewed for Paul Hudson's Weather Show. The programme aired on local BBC Radio on 19th October 2019, which features John talking about his research and the recent Typhoon Hagibis that hit Japan. Listen to the interview on BBC, around 20 minutes in.
The CDT held a residential induction on 23rd-25th September 2019 at the Village Hotel to welcome students in cohort 1 of the new CDT programme. The activities included an overview of the programme and PhD project process, hands-on team building activities, fluids demos, presentations from the Management Board, talks from students from the first CDT...
Congratulations to Drs Jenny Wong, Evaldas Greiciunas and Rob Kelly who graduated today from our first cohort! It's great to see how all the hard work has paid off. Jenny is currently working as a postdoc at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP), Evaldas is a Research Associate working on heat transfer problems...
In May-June 2019, I visited the Geodynamo group at Isterre, Université Grenoble Alpes, for a 6 week academic research placement. This was a very enjoyable and productive experience, for which I thank the CDT for funding. During my time there I had fruitful discussion with the whole group and established several contacts, with whom future collaboration...
