OxICFM students undertake a 42-month substantive research project in their chosen area of expertise (molecular, nano-scale or extended solids). Projects available for the incoming cohort are listed on this page when admissions open, along with a brief summary of the project, some relevant background reading, and the contact details of the principal investigator. CDT applicants are encouraged to read through the available projects and list their three preferred projects in order of preference in their application form. Further details on the research projects are available through direct contact with the supervisors or on application.
