mineral physics), solid-state chemistry and material
sciences, and will investigate relationships between crystal
structure, microstructure, reaction kinetics and
physical-chemical properties of oxide materials, including
silicates, using a range of synthesis, characterization and
simulation techniques. The Graduate School offers excellent
research facilities well equipped with experimental (high
pressure and temperature), analytical and computational
facilities. In addition to pursuing their own research
projects, students will attend lectures, short courses and
seminars in which leading international experts participate.
Students will also spend periods working in leading
laboratories abroad. Further details of research projects
