Within the Management Science and Operations group, we are especially keen to receive PhD research proposals in the following areas:

  • developing analytical models that can often be represented mathematically or visually and built using specialist software;
  • contributing analytical insights and solutions to a range of problems within domains such as health, transport, logistics and supply chain management, process improvement, group decision-making and emergency management.

The group has great supervisory experience and is keen to supervise high-quality research students in members’ specialist research fields.

Please feel free to browse our group members to identify a potential supervisor(s), develop your research proposal, share this with the identified supervisor(s) and confirm they are willing to be named in support of your application.
