2025 HDR (PhD) Scholarship - Ion-atom collision data for fusion energy, hadron therapy and astrophysics
Curtin University
This scholarship is funded by an ARC Discovery Project in conjunction with support from Curtin University. The purpose of the scholarship is to support a PhD student to carry out research in quantum collision theory. Currently, there is an urgent demand for accurate data on ion-beam collisions with atomic and molecular targets for the development and maintenance of fusion reactors, treatment planning in hadron therapy, and modelling astrophysical phenomena. The PhD project will focus on developing theoretical methods to generate accurate data to meet this demand. The student will gain expertise in high-performance computational modelling of atomic collision processes.
Eligibility
Any HDR student wishing to obtain PhD in the field of physics.; The successful candidate must meet the minimum academic entry requirement for admission into the Doctor of Philosophy program including the English proficiency levels set by Curtin University (e.g., IELTS, Overall 6.5, Speaking 6.0, Writing 6.0, Reading 6.0 and Listening 6.0). Candidates should have a master's or bachelor's (Honors) degree in physics. Students with previous research experience and publications in physics or quantum chemistry are encouraged to apply.
