This PhD project is part of the Cotutelle arrangement between Coventry University, UK and Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. 


Numerical Investigation of Liquid Metal Magneto-Coriolis-Centrifugal Convection

This PhD project will focus on the modelling of electro-magnetic effects, in particular, clarify the possible role of Alfvén waves in planetary core convection.


Tailoring diabetes prevention for menopause

Increasing during midlife years, women are at heightened risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Adapting an existing diabetes prevention programme to address the menopause is one pathway worth exploring for giving support at scale.
