University: University of Glasgow
School: School of Mathematics & Statistics
Location: Glasgow, United Kingdom
Project type: Co-funded EPSRC PhD studentship collaboration with CAMECA
Funding: UKRI/EPSRC-style funded PhD; the listing is a co-funded studentship, so it is a structured, funded doctoral position.
Deadline: Jan 1, 2027
Project focus:
This PhD is on mathematical modelling of resonant wave sloshing in confined basins. The topic sits in applied mathematics and fluid dynamics, with emphasis on resonance, nonlinear wave motion, and basin geometry effects.
Research themes:
The public title indicates that the student will study how resonant surface waves behave in confined containers, likely using analytical modelling, asymptotic methods, and numerical simulation. The available related literature points to sloshing theory, modal methods, and nonlinear wave dynamics as the technical core of the project.
Programme and supervision:
University of Glasgow’s mathematics postgraduate page says applicants should contact potential supervisors and then apply through the College of Science and Engineering Graduate School system. The School also notes that some research studentships are offered through UKRI/EPSRC and are usually intended for UK-resident candidates, though funding routes may vary by scheme.
