PhD projects-  Cohort 1: 2019

The Aerosol Science CDT welcomed fourteen students into cohort 1 in September 2019. With backgrounds from geography and earth sciences to chemistry, physics, pharmacy and biological sciences, we have a truly diverse first cohort. Building on the initial training period in Bristol, each student undertakes research on their own PhD research project, shown below.
