PhD Project Areas
Below is a set of 20 broad research areas – these research areas are an indication of research which is currently being undertaken at the Franklin, and where the project leads believe there is scope for a PhD project. Each describes a selection of scientists associated with the project which begins with a project coordinator, followed by a project description and key subject areas which the project will cover.
