Project Supervision
I often supervise dissertations and summer projects; it's one of my favourite parts of the job! 🙂
If you're a student looking for a project, the section below contains the most current information on the topics that I offer. If you have any specific questions about the projects (e.g. "How much programming experience do I need?"), you are welcome to contact me.
Summer Projects 2023
Funding
There are several sources of funding available for summer projects. If we decide to do a summer project together, I will encourage you to apply and will support your applications. Some of the bursaries are:
- The London Mathematical Society Undergraduate Research Bursaries. Deadline TBC (early February).
- EPSRC Vacation Internships. Deadline TBC (early March).
- Mathematical Institute Summer Project Bursaries. Deadline TBC (early February).
- College funding (please enquire with your College Tutor or your College Office).
Beware: funding deadlines are early! If you indend to apply to a summer project, please get in touch with plenty of time. I can consider applications later in the year, but it's very unlikely that we will find you any funding.
If you're not a student in Oxford
I supervised a project in the summer of 2022 through the UNIQ+ programme, and I am likely to propose another one in 2023. I encourage you to visit the programme's page; the application deadline will be mid-February 2023.
Part C/OMMS Dissertations — Academic year 2022/23
In the upcoming academic year I will supervise the following dissertation topics:
- formation of planetary rings, see Kawai, Shida 1993;
- untangling knots through curve repulsion, see Yu, Schumacher, Crane, 2021.
More information about the dissertations can be found in the Mathematical Institute website. Among other things, there is a list of past dissertation projects; the list of titles is public, but the project descriptions require an Oxford University login. The description of all the projects available for 2022/23 will be also published there just before the start of Michaelmas Term.
If you're interested in one of these topics
There is no need to apply directly to me; you will be asked to submit your preferences by the end of Week 3 Michaelmas Term.
