Postgraduate Supervision - Peter Strazdins
Currently Available Topics
Due to the planned restructing of research wihtin the School, I am
only able to support supervision for new projects that are closely
related to HPC (including resiliency) and computational science,
rather than in my more general research
interests .
Prospective international applicants, including those seeking
internships, please read this page on
financial and other advice
Please follow this link for our
pre-prepared potential and current HPC
projects suitable for research degrees.
