About the project
The project develops intelligent nanorobots for autonomous control and adaptive behaviour in liquid nanoscale environments, exploring algorithms for simulation, control, and prediction with applications in drug delivery, diagnostics, and nano-manipulation.
The Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Southampton is inviting applications for a PhD position in computational nanorobotics with a focus on integrating machine learning techniques.
This project aims to develop intelligent nanorobotic systems capable of autonomous decision-making, optimized control, and adaptive responses in complex liquid nanoscale environments.
You will explore machine learning algorithms for simulation, control, and predictive modelling of nanorobots, with potential applications in targeted drug delivery, molecular diagnostics, and precision nano-manipulation.
What we offer:
- access to state-of-the-art research facilities and a collaborative, interdisciplinary team
- mentorship from leading experts in nanotechnology, robotics, and machine learning
- opportunities for publishing in top journals and presenting at international conferences
