Abstract
Doctoral Training Partnerships: a range of postgraduate training is funded by the Research Councils. For information on current funding routes, see the common terminology at https://www.ukri.org/apply-for-funding/how-we-fund-studentships/. Training grants may be to one organisation or to a consortia of research organisations. This portal will show the lead organisation only.

| Description | We have found important clues on how the environment affects the morphology and star-formation properties of galaxies. In particular, we have discovered that star-forming spiral galaxies have their star formation suppressed in clusters and then transform into lenticular (S0) galaxies. We have also obtained some information on the physical mechanisms responsible for these processes. |
| Exploitation Route | Based on our research, future studies should be able to refine our understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the morphological transformation of galaxies. |
