Ultra-Low-Power Sensing for Intermittent Self-Powered Embedded Network Systems
Internet of Things (IoT) promises billions of devices, many of which are constrained embedded networked sensors. While energy-harvesting offers a sustainable power supply, its variability means devices cannot always be powered. This PhD will research hardware and software solutions to enable sensors which autonomously sample/manage data while consuming orders of magnitude less power. -

Deep equilibrium machine learning models for the efficient reconstruction of X-ray tomographic images
In X-ray tomography, limitations in measurement often result in increased image noise and artifacts; to address this, advanced machine learning techniques have been suggested. This project will investigate the application of deep equilibrium models in practical X-ray imaging scenarios, aiming to create tools for analysing large real-world datasets. -
Physics and astronomy
Quantum-corrected Floquet dynamics: a new approach to quantum control
Increasingly sophisticated control of quantum systems using classical fields is a crucial tool in emerging scientific and technological applications. At heart, however, control fields are quantum. In this project, you will study how the quantum nature of the field changes the dynamics of the quantum system being controlled. -

Blockage effects on tidal turbines
Tidal Turbines (underwater wind turbines) are able to operate close together and this can increase power capture. To get it to work well we need to understand many different aspects of device design and operating environment. Building on existing work you will experimentally and numerically investigate ways to boost performance. -
Engineering
Actively controlled accessible wind instruments (ACAWI)
The aim of this project is to develop a hybrid electroacoustic wind instrument that extends the musical capabilities of existing instruments and is accessible to disabled musicians. -
