Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation PhD Projects

PhD projects in the Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation

The Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation is a world-leading multidisciplinary research centre on geometric analysis, partial differential equations, topology and all aspects of gravitation.  The Centre for Geometry, Analysis and Gravitation is leading the research on gravitational waves and quantum gravity at Queen Mary University of London, and it has become a reference centre in the UK and worldwide. Its members are a unique blend of pure and applied mathematicians working on different aspects of general relativity, numerical and mathematical relativity quantum gravity and gravitational aspects of string theory and holography.   

The Centre (GAnG) has received funding from prestigious sources such as the European Research Council (ERC), Royal Society University Research Fellowships, UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, various EPSRC standard grants, STFC Ernst Rutherford Fellowships, and STFC Consolidated grants. 

The Centre also welcomes applications year-round from students with alternative sources of funding, such as self-funding, Doctoral Loans, Commonwealth scholarships, or other funding options.
