New Physics World Weekly podcast about LIV.INNO now available

Published on

The latest Physics World Weekly podcast is all about LIV.INNO. LIV.INNO Director Professor Carsten Welsch and Deputy Director Dr Andrea Font are in conversation with Katherine Skipper from Physics World to discuss all things LIV.INNO.

In the podcast Prof Welsch and Dr Font discuss the purpose of PhDs and why data science is becoming increasingly important in the research world. They discuss the different areas of research where data science is used and some of the challenges which researchers face. They also discuss the increasing importance of data science in industry.

The training element of LIV.INNO is highlighted with the benefits of industrial placements to both students and the industrial partners discussed. Training in high-performance computing, data analysis, and machine learning and artificial intelligence which students receive is also included as well as training in project management, entrepreneurship and communication skills – preparing them for careers outside of academia.

Future opportunities in LIV.INNO will include another cohort of students to start PhDs in 2025. Details of these opportunities will be published on the LIV.INNO website later in the year.
