Are you interested in Graduate Research?  Explore some of the PhD Study Opportunities at UNSW Canberra.  We offer a diverse range of Scholarships Opportunities to domestic and international students to suit you and your situation.

Scholarships of $35,000 (AUD) are available for PhD applicants who achieved H1 (High Distinction) in their undergraduate program and/or have completed a Masters by Research.

BSc (Hons), The Australian National University, December 2005

DPhil, University of Oxford, June 2010

Research Interests: analytic number theory: the Riemann zeta-function, distribution of primes, primitive roots.

My CV; see also my UNSW Canberra website

I am part of the Number Theory Group at UNSW Canberra; I work closely with colleagues in number theory at UNSW Sydney.

Scholarships of $35,000 (AUD) are available for PhD applicants who achieved H1 (High Distinction) in their undergraduate programme and/or have completed a Masters by Research. If you are interested, please contact me at t.trudgian@adfa.edu.au. I particularly encourage female mathematicians to apply.

You can find out information about the PhD programme in mathematics here.

Note to international applicants: please read this website on English language requirements before contacting me.
