Suggested
PhD Projects |
|
|

I am always interested to hear from students looking to
complete a PhD project in the areas of my research interest. The
following suggestions are examples of typical PhD projects that I would be
willing to supervise (but these are not the only possibilities!). Please note
that unless specifically indicated, I do not currently have funding for any of
these suggested PhD projects. Any funded PhDs I have available will usually be
advertised on www.jobs.ac.uk or similar.
1. Optimal sampling strategies and analysis of random walk movement paths.
2. Navigation through the many wrongs principle: an
evolutionary approach using genetic algorithms.
3. Decision-making and the behaviour of human crowds.
4. Velocity jump processes and reaction-transport systems.
5. Closed areas as a fisheries management tool: the
importance of movement behaviour.
6. Optimal fisheries management in an uncertain world.
