2 Masters Thesis Title Supervisor Description Photometric Characteristics Of δ Scuti Type Variable Stars; CC Aand and V350 Peg Professor Fehmi Ekmekçi This thesis explored the period and multiple-frequency analysis of two δ Scuti type variable stars: CC And and V350 Peg. DPhil Thesis Title Supervisor Description Probing Molecular Gas and its Physical Conditions in Nearby Disk Galaxies Dr. Martin Bureau This thesis explores the molecular gas in nearby disk galaxies, such as spirals and lenticulars, through the use of line ratio diagnostics and gas kinematics. DPhil Projects a. The physical conditions of giant molecular clouds in the arms and inter-arms of flocculent spiral galaxy NGC 6946 completed. b. The gas kinematics and molecular line ratio analysis in early-type galaxies NGC 4710 and NGC 5866 in prep. c. The physical conditions of molecular gas in spiral galaxy NGC 0628 in prep.
