Are you interested in the development of offshore wind energy and have a passion for geotechnical engineering? This PhD position is for you. This project is a unique opportunity to contribute to the advancement of sustainable energy infrastructure while deepening your expertise in geotechnical engineering.
The University is expanding its PhD research in the area of medical data analysis. We aim to implement machine learning to analyse atomic force microscopy nanoindentation data towards automated diagnosis of cancer biopsies. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.
You will join the UK-funded Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Supergen Hub project, which aims to advance ORE to meet net zero by 2050. You will be part of the geotechnical team and will contribute to research that streamlines and optimises offshore wind developments.
Interest in more complex dynamics of space trajectories beyond perturbed Keplerian dynamics is rapidly growing. In cislunar space Moon, Earth, and spacecraft form a three-body problem already exhibiting a rich set of dynamical features. In high-fidelity modelling with realistic perturbations dynamics become even more complex. In this project you will apply Machine Learning techniques to the data to extract the essential information contained within these trajectories.
Are you keen on conducting research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, deep learning and robot perception? This project will enable machines to imagine, control and leverage the auditory consequences of physical interactions with the environment.
This project aims to dive into the dynamics of attack methodologies and defensive mechanisms. The outcomes will enhance the security, dependability and trustworthiness of AI applications.
Hydrogen will be the preferable energy carrier among synthetic fuels to address the spatial and temporal separation between energy production (renewable source) and consumption. It is carbon-free and well-suited for easy and inexpensive long-distance transport and long-term storage.
This PhD project will lead to the conception of functionally graded advanced components, combining properties that are considered unattainable.
Tackle the real-world challenge of developing strategies to protect buildings and their occupants from explosions.
Experience the cutting edge of unobtrusive remote sensing and its integration into our daily lives. Remote sensing is increasingly being applied in the context of smart homes and health monitoring, such as in camera-based systems. If you'd like to further develop your expertise in signal processing, machine learning, or computer vision applied to healthcare, and aspire to embed security by design in non-intrusive solutions, we can support you in your journey.
