Modern all-sky astronomical surveys have started detecting unusual, extremely luminous, and long-lived flares in the centres of distant galaxies. These flares are too bright to be caused by the death of a single star and are more likely the result of a violent accretion of material onto a supermassive black hole. This project aims to uncover what that material is and how it gets there, which is key to understanding how black holes grow.
We are on the cusp of a revolution in vehicle automation. The imminent introduction of Level 3 automation into our cars will see control fully transferred to the vehicle for the very first time, albeit in a limited set of circumstances.
A PhD studentship is now available in the area of aircraft aerodynamics and aeroacoustics (aerodynamically generated noise). The studentship provides a unique opportunity to work on a relevant engineering problem at the Airbus Noise Technology Centre (ANTC), part of the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton.
The marine and maritime sectors face an urgent need for green energy solutions and effective decarbonization strategies. Our project focuses on the development of AI-enhanced numerical tools to help address these challenges.
This PhD project will develop a new sensor technology to diagnose bacterial infections rapidly.
In this project, several PhD students are working on a pipeline for modelling and rendering of the full environment including 3D geometry, semantic objects and material attributes from multi-modal inputs such as video, audio and text.
