Local-global conjectures for spetses (Ref: MA/JS-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Mathematical Sciences

A real reflection group is a finite group of matrices with real-entries generated by reflections. Such groups occur ubiquitously as Weyl groups in the classifications of simple complex Lie groups and algebraic groups, and in the theories of braid groups, knots and Hecke algebras. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Semeraro

31 July 2026 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Secants and birational geometry of toric varieties (Ref: MA/APS-SF1/2026)

AI Based Tools for Subsea Cable Routing for Offshore Wind Farms (Ref: CO/VG-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Computer Science

Cable routing is a non-trivial aspect of offshore wind farm development. An optimal route must balance multiple factors such as thermal efficiency, soil type, benthic communities, shipping traffic, fishing zones, etc. Read more

Supervisors: Dr v.gunturi@lboro.ac.uk Gunturi, Prof ND Dethlefs

31 July 2026 PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Formal languages and models of computation (Ref: CO/LP-SF1/2026)

Loughborough University

Department of Computer Science

The area of formal language and automata theory focuses on the investigation of abstract machines, and it is particularly interested in what problems these devices can solve and what resources they use. Read more
