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.

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...
We are pleased to announce the establishment of a Cross-CDT Network for EPSRC CDT students at Leeds. The purpose of this network is to facilitate networking between CDT's and allow broader support for shared interests (e.g. outreach, science policy). A series of events will bring together students to share information and network on broad topics...
Over 120 students, academic staff and industry partners attended the EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) Poster Event on the afternoon of Wednesday 15th May 2019 in the Parkinson Court. Students from the following Centres exhibited their MSc team project and PhD project posters: Bioenergy Complex Particulate Products & Processes (CP3) Fluid Dynamics Integrated Tribology...
The 5th cohort of CDT students presented a stand about "funky fluids" at the Be Curious public engagement festival on Saturday 30th March 2019. This annual event at the University of Leeds attracts thousands of attendees and allows the students to engage the general public in their research. The students' stand explored fluids that are...
