DPhil & MSc (Res) courses
Wadham is a strong graduate engineering College.
Engineering at Wadham
We welcome graduate engineers studying either within the department itself, or working on interdisciplinary projects at other departments and Centres for Doctoral Training in the University. Our Engineering Fellows are actively involved in several of these, including the CDT in Autonomous Intelligent Machines and Systems. We also host students from other CDTs linked to Engineering (including Gas Turbines and Biomedical Imaging).
Graduate engineers play a prominent role in the life of the Middle Common Room, and are encouraged to interact with the 30-strong undergraduate engineering population, not least on our annual Engineering Research day and at our subject dinner in Hall.
The Tutors
Dr Mark Thompson
Mark's research concerns the application of mechanical analysis to clinically significant problems of tissue function and physiology.
Prof Alfonso Castrejón-Pita
Alfonso researches a variety of fluid flows phenomena, from drop formation and splashing, to geophysical flows and turbulence. These investigations are carried out by combining theoretical work, numerical simulations, and experimentation.
Prof Ekaterina Shamonina
Professor Shamonina's research covers metamaterials, electrodynamics, plasmonics, nanophotonics and microwave optics.
