About the project
Artificial intelligence is taking an ever-increasing presence in our daily life, most frequently related to visual data analysis such as face recognition. Can similar data processing algorithms be used to develop digital sensors that can detect organic substances to understand what role oceans take in global warming? Or monitor performance of an aircraft made of composite materials to reduce CO2 emissions?
In this PhD project, you will combine optical sensing with AI based algorithms to develop next generation sensing systems. The research work will introduce you to modern manufacturing and characterization techniques used in developing optical devices and composite materials, computational modelling of photonic systems.
The project has strong commercial potential, and we have industrial collaborations with local start-ups and global corporations allowing impact of your research to be seen in real life applications.
