Masters by Research in computational materials discovery

This Master by Research scholarship supports a motivated candidate interested in computational materials discovery for next-generation electronics.

The project focuses on modelling two-dimensional (2D) metal oxides using quantum simulation tools to investigate their electronic and dielectric properties. It is suited to applicants with a background in materials science, physics, engineering, or computer science who are interested in applying computational methods to real-world materials challenges.
