Job Description
Applications are now open for a fully-funded PhD project, ‘Optimising power grids and chemical reactions with graph neural networks’, to begin in the Academic Year 2022-23.
This project will be co-supervised by Letif Mones (Invenia Labs), along with Albert Bartok-Partay and Reinhard J. Maurer (University of Warwick). The co-supervision will be carried out within the Warwick EPSRC Centre of Doctoral Training (CDT) in the Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems program (HetSys).
The aim of this project is to explore the wider applicability of graph neural networks, to answer questions such as "How does power flow in an electrical grid?" and "How do atoms arrange in space to form molecules and materials?". Results of this work will be useful in optimising electricity grid operations and schedules as well as in understanding chemical transitions between different molecules.
This scholarship is open to candidates with at least a 2.i honours degree at BSc level, or an integrated masters degree (e.g. MPhys, MChem, MSci, MEng etc.) in a physical sciences, mathematics or engineering discipline.
