I welcome applications from students who are interested in exploring the use of quantitative approaches applied to planning.
I also welcome applications from students who want to do research in planning in the context of Iberian and Latin-American countries.
Prospective candidates are invited to write an up to 1,500 words research proposal (see guidance here) and send it to me for consideration at any time.
Please see also how to apply to a PhD at SEED and P&EM here for the next admissions cycle starting this coming September.
