Cohort 1

On the following pages, you’ll find individual profiles written by the students themselves. Each profile introduces their research project, supervisory team, and industry partners (where relevant). Students also reflect on what inspired them to join the CDT, the impact they hope their research will make, and what they’ve found most rewarding about their PhD journey so far.

Whether you’re a prospective applicant, collaborator, or simply curious about the work we do, we hope these profiles give you a sense of the breadth of research across the CDT, as well as the creativity, enthusiasm, and ambition driving each of our students forward.
