Engineering AI-assisted robust aero-engine structural analysis due to fan blade-off Robust design is crucial for ensuring the durability and reliability of aerospace components throughout their entire life cycle, given the variations that arise from geometry, material properties, and loads during long-term operation. Electronics and computer science Machine Learning to Build Trustworthy Robot Swarms This project focuses on advancing the trustworthiness and usability of multi-robot systems, particularly in the context of swarm robotics. Electronics and computer science Replacing Si with 2D materials by developing the technique to dope them We are looking for an exceptional candidate to join our team to develop a novel technique to dope transition metal dichalcogenides and investigate their commercial potential by working with our industrial partners, Intel, Graphenea and Grolltex. Engineering Investigation of neutraliser-free air-breathing plasma thruster This project will investigate how adding metal plasma can improve the performance of air-breathing plasma thrusters, with a focus on developing an optimized neutralizer-free design for Very Low Earth Orbit environments. Engineering AI-enhanced fluid-structure modelling to aid maritime decarbonization 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. Electronics and computer science | Biological sciences Rapid diagnostics for antimicrobial resistance This PhD project will develop a new sensor technology to diagnose bacterial infections rapidly. Chemistry Bioinspired total synthesis of complex natural products This project will involve the total synthesis of stereochemically complex natural products using new methods inspired by biosynthesis. The synthetic work will have potential applications in medicinal chemistry, the elucidation of biosynthetic pathways, and the structural assignment of natural products. Electronics and computer science | Engineering Skill acquisition in lifelong robot learning with large language models This project explores how Large Language Models (LLMs) enhance lifelong robot learning by incrementally acquiring and refining visuomotor skills. It investigates leveraging textual and spatio-temporal data to improve skill adaptation while addressing challenges in continual learning. The methods will be tested in household environments for real-world, open-ended robotic learning scenarios. Electronics and computer science | Engineering Wearable cerebral blood flow monitoring using speckle contrast optical tomography (SCOT) in the infant brain Cerebral injuries are a leading cause of neonatal mortality and life-long morbidities. This project aims to develop a wearable headset that uses speckle contrast optical tomography (SCOT) to provide 3D images of cerebral blood flow in the infant brain powered with artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse brain activation patterns.
