Harnessing Aerosol Science for Improved Security, Resilience and Global Health

Find out more about how the CDT has grown its partnerships and became the world leading centre in the delivery of aerosol science and research.

Will Ganley – Partnerships Course Manager for the CDT

We were thrilled to welcome Will Ganley to the CDT this year as the Partnerships Course Manager. Will’s role is critical in our mission to broaden access to training in aerosol science.

Want to learn more about what Will is doing? Take a look at the video below to hear from Will and see him in action at the Partner Course in Aerosol Science which took place earlier this year.

We have a whole host of training opportunities planned for 2026 with more details on the way. Get in touch if you’d like to learn more!

Furthering education in aerosol science

Nineteen students joined the seventh cohort of the CDT in September 2025, while our cohort 6 students move to start their PhD research. With backgrounds from geography, and earth sciences to engineering, chemistry, physics, pharmacy and biological sciences, we value our truly diverse cohorts! During their first year, our students complete training in Core Aerosol Science, Research Methods, and Professionalism and Translation, while developing their PhD research proposals.

Could you be part of our eighth cohort? Apply now to become a member of this brilliant scientific community.

Research Impact Case Studies

Four years after our CDT was funded and our first cohort of students started their training in aerosol science, we are beginning to see some of the impacts of their research on policy and on our partners’ activities. Have a look at what our students and industrial partners say about the research our students are conducting and the impact it is having.
