In summary, when deciding on a PhD program in LQG, it's important to consider the research focus and resources of each supervisor at the universities of Newcastle, Aberdeen, and Nottingham. It's also important to take into account the city and quality of life in each location. Ultimately, the decision should be based on personal preferences and what feels like the best fit for the individual.

Hello guys! I hope that you could help me. I want to do my PhD on LQG at the UK and I have the following options:

  1. Newcastle, with David Toms. (His research area is QFT on curved spacetime but he liked my project on LQG)
  2. Aberdeen, with Charles Wang
  3. Nottingham, with Kirill Krasnov or John Barret (not decided yet)

Also, I have the following options, not exactly related on LQG:
  • Sheffield, with Elizabeth Winstanley (on Quantum Gravity and Black Holes)
  • Queen Mary, with Juan Valiente Kroon (on Mathematical Relativity)

I wish to choose the better option based not only in prestige and productivity of supervisor / group, but also taking into account the university and the quality of life in their respective cities. Any information is welcome.

Thanks for the help!

It really depends on what your personal preferences are. It's important to consider the research focus of each supervisor and the university's resources available to you. It's also important to consider the city and its quality of life, such as cost of living, safety, public transportation, cultural activities, etc. Depending on what is important to you, it may be helpful to look into each option more closely and visit the universities if possible. Ultimately, the decision is yours to make, so choose what feels right for you. Good luck!
