In this project, you will explore how attackers adapt and evolve their techniques to overcome existing defenses and how continual learning can help in detecting these evolving threats.
This PhD studentship will combine state-of-the-art imaging techniques, mechanical testing and finite element modelling to assess bone microstructure and function following extreme exercise regimes used within the military to better understand and predict fracture risk in men and women.
This project will identify the microbial communities associated with corals from the Persian-Arabian Gulf (PAG) and study their persistence, potential functions and responses to changing conditions. This research will thus help establish functional mechanisms and environmental drivers that facilitate the extreme heat tolerance of PAG corals.
The aim of the project is to work on state-of-the-art heteropolymetallic architectures (polynuclear lanthanide clusters) in the area of luminescence, specifically two-photon processes – upconversion and downconversion (quantum cutting).
Fake and synthetic media are becoming a well-known issue in society, from AI regulation and AI safety to protecting democracy from election interference.
The University of Southampton is expanding its PhD research in the area of Quantum Technology Engineering. In addition to the research project outlined below you will receive substantial training in scientific, technical, and commercial skills.
The aim of the project is to investigate and develop a comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms behind railway noise, vibration and wheel or rail roughness. This includes studying the causes and effects of wheel or rail roughness, understanding the development of surface roughness over time and establishing models for predicting and mitigating the noise.
There remains a lack of knowledge of how beavers might influence fish communities in England, particularly in the South of the country where increased population growth, house building, and wastewaster management places substantial pressures on freshwater resources.
