How to read this page. Everyone below appears because a phrase they wrote on their own faculty or lab page matched this topic, and that phrase is printed beside their name. We have not paraphrased anyone’s research into a category, and where a match looks wrong the quoted words are there to judge it by.
This page does not say who is accepting students. That changes through the autumn and is stated in one place only — the accepting-students tracker, linked from every school below. Always confirm with the program before you apply.
