PhD Projects
in the Process Intensification
Group, Newcastle University
The list below gives
potential titles and details of PhD projects
within the PIG. These are not funded projects,
although there may be some limited funding for
UK or EU students. Overseas students with only
partial funding (i.e. fees only - currently
~£15k/yr) should get in touch with us, as there
is a scheme to support such students (CEAM
Teaching Bursaries: deadline August 2010).
Otherwise you should have an idea of a source of
funding for your studies (usually your own
government).
We also welcome candidates to
bring along their own ideas of projects. To
apply in the first instance you should email the
relevant first supervisor:
Dr Adam Harvey ,
Dr Jon Lee or
Dr Kamelia Boodhoo.
PhDs in biofuels are always available
