Summer Student Projects
We currently have a few 3-month summer projects starting in June 2025, open to Bachelor, Master, and PhD students.. They are from Centre of Computational Science and Department of Computer Science UCL. The deadline of application is 20/05/2025, applicants will be interviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. Please note that not all positions are funded. Self-funded students are encouraged to apply. More details can be found at the following links:
Applicants must be eligible to study in the UK and should have a background in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or other related major with demonstrated proficiency in programming—particularly in Python and PyTorch (used in all projects). To apply, please send an email to Xiao Xue ( x.xue@ucl.ac.uk ) and Peter Coveney ( p.v.coveney@ucl.ac.uk ) with the subject line formatted as: SSP-YourExpectedDegree-Major-Name (e.g., SSP-Master-ComputerScience-James)
PhD Projects
We currently have two PhD projects started in 2025 fall. They are from Advanced Research Computing (ARC) Centre of UCL. The deadline of application is 31/03/2025, applicants will be interviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled. The PhD position is fully funded, including tuition fees and stipend for UK home students with some overseas studentships also available. More details can be found in the following links:
- UCL - Quantifying and eliminating floating point pathologies in the simulation of chaotic dynamical systems
- UCL - HemeLB at the exascale and beyond. Implementing and studying whole human scale cardiovascular hemodynamics on the world’s most powerful supercomputers
The applicants should have, or be expecting to achieve, a first or upper second-class integrated masters degree (MSci, MChem, etc.) or 2:1 minimum BSc plus stand-alone Masters degree with at least a Merit in Physics / Chemistry / Materials science (for the first project), Computer Science / Mathematics / Physics / Chemistry / Engineering (for the two ARC projects) with proven expertise in programming in at least one high level language (e.g. C/C++, Fortran, Python, etc., for all projects). They should also meet the entry requirements of UCL (find them here).
