EPSRC CDT in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0 PhD

This PhD course is part of the EPSRC Centre of Doctoral Training (CDT) in Developing National Capability for Materials 4.0 led by the University of Manchester.<br/><br/>The goal of this PhD program is to develop leaders in the field of Materials 4.0 and ambassadors for a broader cultural shift in the practice of materials science. Working across boundaries between fields, the students will develop and advocate for new capabilities (methods and techniques) to drive forward the digitalisation of materials research and innovation.<br/><br/>A critical aspect of the CDT will be its ability to deliver change at scale, through both the activities of students themselves and first hand through extending training packages to other CDTs and to existing researchers in academia and in industry at all career stages.<br/><br/>The CDT will draw upon the skills and facilities of academic partners in the Royce Institute from across the UK and be created in partnership with the National Physical Laboratory (building on their success with remote training) and in collaboration with the Alan Turing Institute (ATI).
