Applicants will have the opportunity to craft the project in line with their  own interests in so far as they complement those of the research team. A target area of application for some aspect of the PhD project will need to be connected to fire safety, which may involve research with firefighters, disaster response teams, administrative staff of fire safety regulatory bodies, teams in companies developing renewable energy, or other.
