We plan to interview in person at Warwick University in late February and welcome informal enquiries and can discuss online before then. For further information and details of how to apply, please see our postgraduate admissions website.

These projects are also associated with the newly established Warwick Centre for Space Domain Awareness (CSDA). The CSDA draws from the experience and expertise of a wide range of research groups at the University of Warwick to tackle issues relating to the safety and sustainability of satellite operations in the space domain.

At the University of Warwick, we strongly value equity, diversity and inclusion and will provide a healthy working environment dedicated to outstanding scientific guidance, mentorship and personal development. The Physics Department holds an Athena SWAN Silver award, and is an Institute of Physics Juno Champion.
