NOC Liverpool PhD student profiles
Listed below are profiles from two of the students currently undertaking their PhDs here at NOC (in total we have more than 10 PhD students). The profiles should give you an idea of the type and standard of our PhDs, and a bit about what it is like working at NOC and living in Liverpool:
| Sam Royston - Sea level forecasting using rule based methods and AI techniques | |
|---|---|
|
I am in the final year of my PhD based at NOC studying the application of rule based methods to dynamical, environmental problems. NOC has a friendly and professional working environment, which encourages interactions between eminent scientists and students and there are numerous formal and informal platforms to discuss your work with peers. There is also a good social atmosphere at the Joseph Proudman Building, with sports and social events organised regularly. Liverpool is a great city offering every entertainment; theatre, live music and comedy events, all types of nightlife, artistic and community festivals and some truly great real ale pubs! |
|
| Jack Phelps - Modelling larval migration in continental shelf seas | |
|---|---|
|
My research involves using mathematical models of the Irish Sea to investigate dispersal of larvae, and recommend sites for marine protected areas. NOC is a fantastic place to study, has the advantage of being on the University of Liverpool campus, and any student has full access to the university resources. Liverpool is a vibrant city with low living costs, great pubs and excellent sports facilities. |
