All research students join one of the following research groups, and those associated with the two materials themes may be allocated a studentship as part of the Doctoral Training at the Centre for Metamaterial Research and Innovation. Being part of a collaborative research community is the ideal environment for you to flourish. We encourage our students to engage with each other, as well as our world-class academics, to promote a vibrant, supportive and friendly research atmosphere. The group structure provides a very positive support mechanism, helping research students to sustain productive research over 90 per cent submit within the EPSRC deadline period, with most publishing several scientific papers during their period of study. We understand that it is vital that you are a part of a stimulating and energetic environment with your peers throughout your research degree. We also recognise that being in a position to discuss stages of your work is essential to your long-term success. To support this, we organise a series of postgraduate seminars where research students discuss their work, carry out presentations and swap ideas. We strive to ensure that you are a valued and intrinsic member of a close-knit group of ambitious research students, who will cooperate and provide support to each other when necessary.
