PhD studentship – Parallel solution of block-angular linear programming problems

The School of Mathematics is offering a PhD studentship to study parallel computing techniques for solving large, sparse, block-angular linear programming problems. The studentship is industrially-funded and will run for 3.5 years, starting in September 2008 (or at a later date if desired).

It is available to students of any nationality and will cover tuition fees and living expenses. The latter will be about GBP 15,000 per year for a UK/EU national and GBP 10,500 per year for an overseas student.

Metal-organic frameworks for hydrogen purification and catalytic applications – suitable for chemical engineers, chemists, and physicists

Funding is available for two PhD studentships in the School of Engineering and Electronics, University of Edinburgh on two separate metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) related projects. Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) constitute one of the most exciting developments in recent nanoporous-materials science, with potential applications in many areas, including catalysis, gas separation and storage. The major advantage of MOFs over more traditional porous materials, such as zeolites, is the greater scope for tailoring these materials for specific applications due to their modular synthesis from corner units (generally metal ions or clusters) and linker units (organic molecules able to bridge the metal corners).
