PhD projects

Exploring the non-equilibrium states of matter.

Status: Open.

The studentships are funded for 3.5 years and include Tuition Fees, a Stipend at the UK Research Council rate (plus London weighting) and an allowance for research consumables and travel.

The primary objective of this Ph.D. project is to delve into some of these examples using the tools of theoretical physics, mathematical physics and probability theory, with the emphasis on a precise and detailed understanding. Disordered interacting quantum systems offer a particularly rich phenomenology. In particular, the interplay between disorder and interactions may lead to the so called many-body localized phase where the approach to equilibrium is halted by emergent conserved quantities. The physical characteristics of this phase have been explored intensively since more than a decade and the field is probably reaching maturity from a phenomenological point of view. In contrast, the mathematical understanding remains very incomplete, reflecting into the fact that several fundamental aspects are still intensely debated. There is thus a clear need for the development of a better mathematical theory and the search for new techniques. A direct goal of this project will be to bring the theory on much firmer grounds. Moreover, from a broader perspective, the hope is that these contributions eventually lead to a more profound and cohesive understanding of non-equilibrium states of matter as a whole.

How to apply — The ideal candidate is a very motivated student with a solid background in either applied mathematics or theoretical physics. Most importantly, the successful candidate is expected to have some taste for deriving rigorous mathematical results. This position is open to both Home and Overseas students. Applicants should have a 2:1 or first-class undergraduate degree, or an MMath, MSci or Master’s degree with Merit and high grades in modules relating to the research area. A solid background in either applied mathematics or theoretical physics as well as some taste for deriving rigorous mathematical results are expected. To be considered for the position candidates must apply via the King’s Apply online application system . Please indicate François Huveneers as your desired supervisor, Disordered Systems as your desired research group and the project title in your application and all correspondence. A guide on other application details can be found here . Direct link to the application page

The mathematics of adaptive, stable and robust Artificial Intelligence

The studentship covers tuition fees for Home/UK students and a stipend of £19,668 per annum. The funding is available for 3.5 years. Overseas applicants will be considered but they must demonstrate the capability to fund the difference between International full-time fees (currently £28,260 per annum for 2023/2024 academic year) and Home/UK fees.

The project aims to explore and systematically assess major causes of AI errors and instabilities and develop appropriate mathematical foundations enabling the creation of stable and robust Artificial Intelligence capable of dealing with errors and concept drifts. The successful candidate will work alongside a team of early career researchers funded by the UKRI Turing AI Acceleration Fellowship (EP/V025295/2) and will benefit from the team’s established relationships with industrial partners, academic networks (Turing AI Fellows, Trustworthy Autonomous Systems Node in Verifiability EP/V026801/2), and other collaborators in academia, healthcare, defence & security.

How to apply — To state your interest, please contact directly Prof Ivan Tyukin .

Starting Your Application

Your application will be submitted through King’s Apply . The first step is to create an account, though don’t be intimidated by the long list of titles, the standard ones (Ms, Mr, etc.) can be found by scrolling down slightly.

Course Finder

Once you have registered an account, you will be sent to the course finder, where you’ll need to select your programme. Typing in ‘maths’ does not work – only ‘mathematics’. Statistics must be searched for separately. You can find the applied programme by typing in your research group but be careful not to select an MSc or physics course. Several options will appear, but the correct courses are:

Applied Mathematics Research: Disordered Systems/Financial Mathematics/Probability/Theoretical Physics MPhil/PhD;Pure Mathematics Research MPhil/PhD;and Statistics Research MPhil/PhD.

Start Dates and English Language Requirements

After selecting your course, you will be asked to pick a start date. We will usually only consider applications for entry on October 1st. Other entry dates are exceptional and are only granted for deferrals or reasons relating to funding. We will not offer any internal or research council funding at these dates and may ask applicants to change this entry date or reject them outright.

The subsequent question, on English language requirements, is important for entry if you are an overseas applicant, you must prove that you meet the standard needed ( Band D ).

Residency, Nationality, Education, Employment, and References

These can be done in any order. The section on residency and nationality is necessary for visa reasons as well as determining your fee category. Based on your answers, you will be given a fee status assessment. You can ask for this to be reviewed after your application is submitted.You will also need to submit your education (usually just your BSc/MSc institution and classification) and employment history, as well as contact details for two referees.

Research Proposal

This may seem like the most daunting and important part of your application, so it is a good idea to discuss the level of detail expected here with the admissions tutor (and, for Pure Mathematics, a prospective supervisor). If you have already discussed your planned area of research with them, they may not expect you to write more than a few sentences.

We expect applicants to tick boxes 4 and 5 if they hope to be considered for funding from the department, including research council funding. Funding is allocated to applicants on merit, and admissions tutors will decide the source of funding that a student receives – this may not reflect what the applicant selected here. Funding offers will usually be sent out from March. There are also several centrally administered PhD funding schemes at King’s , shared across the university.

Attachment Summary and Submission

Make sure you have included everything that you wanted to at the attachment summary and check everything that you have written. Once you have done so, and are happy with your application, you are ready to submit, and can expect to hear from us shortly.

If you have any questions about any of this process, be sure to submit them to Gage Kumar Rull, PGR Programme Officer at [email protected].

Choosing the distance-learning mode means that there are no residency requirements and it is not necessary to attend during doctoral study, the viva examination take place in-person at UCL or online. However, you are welcome to visit and use campus facilities including the library, attend seminars etc. In the first year of full-time study (and first two years of part-time study), distance learners take a series of compulsory research methods modules that are studied online. This typically involves provision of materials (articles, eBooks, videos etc.), forums to facilitate discussion of various tasks, and synchronous sessions to discuss the activities. Alongside these you will work with your supervisors on your research (e.g., using Teams/Zoom and email). In addition, there are other resources and training opportunities to support distance-learning students, e.g., sessions to develop generic skills.

The length of registration for the research degree programmes is 3 years for full-time.

You are required to register initially for the MPhil degree with the expectation of transfer to PhD after successful completion of an upgrade viva 9-18 months after initial registration.

IOE Centre for Doctoral Education provides an extensive Research Training Programme. A mandatory core course is provided that aims to meet the needs of early-stage doctoral students. There is also a wide range of introductory, advanced methods, advanced theoretical, and generic non-credit bearing academic skills courses, as well as student led workshops and reading groups which you can attend.

Full-time MPhil/PhD students are required to fulfil minimum 20 'points' of training activity in their first year, and are encouraged to fulfil the same in their subsequent years of study. This training can be selected from the UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme, IOE faculty's Research Training Programme, the multi-institutional Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network, and from other sources. Each point is worth approximately a half-day of face-to-face training, or an online equivalent. Other activities such as attending and presenting at conferences also count towards research training. Students may undertake additional training beyond these minima, as relevant to their research and/or as agreed with their supervisors.

You are expected to upgrade from MPhil to PhD status towards the end of your first year of study if full-time. Students whose performance is satisfactory will transfer from MPhil to PhD status.

Processes aimed at assisting you during your course of study include the Research Student Log (an online project management tool), and periodic reviews of students' progress.

Upon successful completion of your approved period of registration you may, if necessary, register as a completing research status (CRS) student while you finish writing your thesis.

The length of registration for the research degree programmes is 5 years for part-time.

Part-time students are required to fulfil minimum 12 'points' of training activity in each year of study. This training can be selected from the UCL Doctoral Skills Development Programme, IOE faculty's Research Training Programme, the multi-institutional Bloomsbury Postgraduate Skills Network, and from other sources. Each point is worth approximately a half-day of face-to-face training, or an online equivalent. Other activities such as attending and presenting at conferences also count towards research training. Students may undertake additional training beyond these minima, as relevant to their research and/or as agreed with their supervisors.
