William Beckwith-Chandler

I am a final-year PhD student in Mathematics, under the Centre for Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics, supervised by Dr Claire Foullon. My second supervisor is Prof Jacqueline Christmas. My PhD studentship is EPSRC-funded, running through to September 2025. I am in my eighth year at Exeter, where I graduated from the University's MMath program in the summer of 2021 with a First-Class Honours. My masters had a focus on applied topics such as fluid dynamics, magnetic fields and space weather. However, despite this, my dissertation was in pure mathematics, and was titled 'Topological Entropy', under the supervision of Prof Ana Rodrigues.
