Physics offers a range of postgraduate study options at MSc by Thesis and PhD level, both full and part-time.
Our research broadly covers the following areas:
Research is funded from a range of sources, including the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the Royal Society, as well as government and industrial establishments. Our work also benefits from strong interdisciplinary links within the university and with other groups at the national and the international level.
We have well-established links with a number of industrial companies and research centres with whom we conduct collaborative research.
The research interests of the group span across a range of topics in condensed matter including hard matter (e.g., semiconductors), soft matter (e.g., polymers, colloids, surfactants etc.), surfaces and quantum technologies.
We employ a unique mix of semiconductor theory and Monte-Carlo computation techniques to address issues in existing devices or develop new devices. Current research includes:
Soft matter includes industrially and biologically important systems such as colloids, polymers and surfactants. The distinctive feature of all these systems is the presence of mesoscopic length-scales which necessitates the use of coarse-grained models to access the length and time scales of interest.
Our work focuses on the:
Specific areas of research include:
Staff:
The University of Hull is renowned for its work on liquid crystals materials following its invention of the first room-temperature liquid crystal which heralded the advent of the multi-million dollar liquid crystal display technology. This interdisciplinary research continues this tradition and applies semiconducting liquid crystals to emerging application areas, such as organic light-emitting displays, solar cells and plastic electronics. We also have interests in plasmonic structures for enhanced light-emission and nano-photonics.
Our projects include:
Staff:
The research interests of the group broadly cover the interaction of light with matter for scientific, industrial and medical applications. This primarily involves laser sources, meaning the group also studies the generation and delivery of high-intensity light. Below are some of the areas we're currently involved in.
Staff:
From the Big Bang to black holes, and from quantum mechanics to the theory of everything, The E.A. Milne Centre's world-leading experts pursue explanations for the wonders of the Universe and then share their awe-inspiring discoveries with students, schools and the public to ignite the passions of the Einsteins and Hawkings of tomorrow.
Staff:
You should normally have, or expect to obtain, at least 2:1 Honours degree (or international equivalent) in a related subject.
Please contact your prospective supervisor in the first instance. Once a member of staff has agreed to supervise your research project in principle, please make a formal application.
