India, March 12 -- The University of Warwick has been awarded £11m to train PhD students in computational modelling.

The new centre will train 50 PhD students to use computational modelling to tackle pressing global sustainability challenges from accessing clean fusion energy, controlling infectious diseases, to designing energy-efficient devices such as new battery electrolytes.

The Centre for Doctoral Training in Modelling of Heterogeneous Systems (HetSys II), led by Professor James Kermode from the School of Engineering, Dr Livia Bartok-Partay from Chemistry and Professor Nicholas Hine from Physics, will train a new generation of scientists in computational modelling. It spans seven departments and three university research cent...
