If you are interested in a potential Phd or research Masters topic then please contact the group director.
Assoc. Prof. Harvinder Sidhu (h.sidhu@adfa.edu.au)Topics are not limited to those shown in our research areas or below and we are open to new areas of research in applied mathematics that are of interest to you and us. Email us and we will discuss any proposals you might have and possible available funding (there usually is some!).
Some generic scholarships are available for students and we currently have one specific scholarship available (see below) for work
on swelling with moving boundaries.
