Active noise control (ANC) has been developed over many years to mitigate unwanted noise in various environments. It finds applications in areas such as noise-cancelling headphones, car cabins, aircraft interiors, and even in windows for creating quieter spaces. However, the performance of an ANC system remains limited by its acoustic design, which necessitates customising the placement of electroacoustic components for each specific ANC application.
We are looking for a talented and motivated PhD student to work on high-bandwidth implantable brain processing techniques (i.e. >1000 recording channels using Utah Arrays) for future generation implantable brain machine interfaces (iBMIs).
This project aims to identify, detect, understand, and suggest mitigations for the effects of deviations in porous architecture on the properties and performance of porous metamaterials.
Are you passionate about advancing healthcare through cutting-edge technology? Do you have a keen interest in biosensors, artificial intelligence, and their applications in healthcare? We invite you to embark on an exciting research journey with us as we seek a talented and driven PhD student to join our team in the pursuit of Intelligent Biosensing Systems for Healthcare.
This project aims to to develop a new class of marine sensors based on cutting-edge MID-IR silicon photonics research.
Develop a complete mission concept for satellites to detect the release of biological agents on the ground through constant monitoring from space. This technology can be used to monitor adherence to international treaties regulating the release of biological agents.
Within the context of ground military operations, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are commonly deployed for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions. The decision-making that ensues based on UAV data can range from collecting further intelligence, to more extreme courses of action such as air strikes and weapon deployment.
This project will address the research questions how can audio-visual fusion be used to improve the performance of wearable devices for people with hearing loss?
Design and develop new urban agriculture systems that combine electricity-producing microbial cells with soil-less plant growing methods.
As a researcher on this project you will engineer a novel bio-inspired propulsion and control system inspired by fish.
