As people have said, you need to contact him - not least 'cos you need to know whether he has any funding on the horizon for new projects, and if so whether any of those projects sound interesting to you - there's not much point starting a PhD that you don't find interesting, 'cos you'll need plenty of motivation if you're going to last to the end :) I can't remember what the drop-out rate is for PhDs here in the UK, but it's somewhere around 40% that haven't finished by the end of their 5 years.

He may be able to offer money from a "general" departmental fund for a research project you come up with yourself, although clearly he'd have to think it was worthwhile too.

Finally, if you're not expecting to start for at least 6 months you may be able to submit a research proposal with him for a project you (i.e. both of you, or more realistically "he", with you giving input) think up. Sometimes you can do it as a combination too, i.e. take funding from a generic budget for the first year and hope to get your own funding for the rest of the project.

Also have a look on his website - some lecturers list potential project titles there, which should give you an idea of whether you're likely to find anything interesting to do. Does it have to be that one Prof specifically? What about other lecturers in his research group? While we had some truly excellent profs at my uni, the best supervisors were usually the ones who didn't have a million other things to do in addition to dealing with their students.

Still, the main thing is you need to contact him. After all, one of his ongoing jobs is to acquire new postgrad students to do research for his group so he'll probably be more than happy to talk to you.

If you are intending to study for a doctorate with Dr Cohen, then surely, you would need to apply to his office.
What are you asking?
Are you hoping he is reading the yahoo answers and will see your question and think to himself, yes, that's the person I will contact? I must apologise for sounding flippant but how in the world did you manage to study to the level of becoming a doctor and not know how to apply for this study?
You will need to do some research and it is extremely lazy to expect some Joes and Janes and yahoo answers to do your work for you.

And universal technology is extra useful ? continuously getting the comparable effect for the comparable try is seen medical information (or as stable as). for the time of historic past, technology has "proved" issues via engaging in the comparable try many times, and getting the comparable effect... in uncomplicated terms to be shown incorrect via the subsequent technology of scientists. As nutty because it sounds, merely because of the fact which you have an theory that passes all your assessments, would not propose that it is inevitably appropriate. you won't be working the suited assessments, and oblivious to the certainty. Why could i've got faith that the earth is 4.5 billion years previous based upon on the instant's thinking ? what's to end the subsequent technology of universal scientist "proving" the translation of the outcomes grew to become into incorrect ? who's to assert that their presumptions on decay are appropriate ? And with billions of years of land erosion, why are not the oceans crammed with dirt ? and how is universal technology to any extent further useful while it invents darkish rely because of the fact in any different case, none of it is astrophysics calculations make any experience ? it is "creation" technology territory in case you inquire from me. And BTW, which set of climate replace scientists could i've got faith ? They the two have "information". you could snicker at creation scientists, and that i''ll snicker top alongside you. yet i'm going to additionally snicker at you for believing that our contemporary set of scientists has it 'all' worked out, while it consists of the vast questions. we are a protracted way off having the suited to snicker at absolutely everyone's loopy notions. 2 under: actual technology would not have an ideological & philosophical schedule of hate at the back of it, like yours does, No actual technology is all approximately investment. Lie, cheat, thieve; notwithstanding it takes to get extra investment. I call them fundingmentalists.
