Within the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences at Macquarie University, under the supervision of Dr Noa Kraitzman, the project investigates sea ice as a complex multicomponent system comprising solid ice, brine inclusions, and air bubbles. The research programme focuses on developing rigorous mathematical frameworks for phase transition phenomena in polar sea ice. Utilising nonlinear partial differential equations, asymptotic analysis, and homogenisation theory, the candidate will construct models describing dynamical processes in sea ice.
The successful candidate will engage with an internationally recognised research community, collaborating with specialists in applied mathematics, glaciology, and climate science. This scholarship provides exceptional opportunity to advance fundamental mathematical understanding of cryospheric processes whilst contributing to predictive models essential for climate system analysis.
The scholarship comprises:
The value of the stipend scholarship is $39,700 per annum (full-time, indexed) for up to four years.
The scholarship is available to candidates eligible to undertake:
