PhD/MPhil projects
Opportunities
I am available to undertake supervision of Masters-by-Research, MPhil or PhD training programmes on the topic of rainfall-runoff processes and/or Nature-based Solutions for flood mitigation (so called 'Natural Flood Management') or water pollution mitigation, involving field monitoring and modelling, particularly System Identification modelling (e.g., using the CAPTAIN Toolbox for Matlab).
