We are based at Northumbria University in the beautiful North East of England, and participate in the Northumbria University Photovoltaics group, Energy Futures and the North East Centre for Energy Materials.
A funded PhD is available - for more information please see the the advert here. It is a computational project exploring a group of materials called perovskites, and it is co-supervised by Emma McCabe at Durham [Lucy = computers, Emma = perovskites]. I strongly encourage potential applicants to contact me ahead of any submission - for UK-based applicants there is the opportunity to visit the group (with expenses paid) to find out more.
