Organisational implications of robotics and automation in construction supply chains
Over the next 20 years around 50% of construction work could be automated using new and emerging technologies to support advancing automation in the construction sector. Read more
SERS-based lateral flow assays for human embryo quality assessment
In the past decades, in-vitro fertilization (IVF) has been widely used for infertility treatment. However, multiple pregnancies/twin gestation remains an issue because of the implantation of multiple fertilized eggs (embryos) in one IVF cycle for enhancing the pregnancy success rate. Read more
Automation of biodegradation testing using robots
This opportunity will remain open until the position has been filled and so early applications are encouraged. A fully funded PhD studentship is available in the area of polymer synthesis and biodegradability assessment, to work in a team of scientists funded by the EPSRC Prosperity Partnership ‘. Read more
Robotics and Automation of Sperm Injection for Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Assistive reproductive technology (ART) involves medical procedures through the use of technology that help improve success rates in infertility treatments such as IVF. Read more
Understanding Innovation and Labour Market Outcomes in Developing Countries
There is growing evidence that labor markets (in both developed and developing countries) are becoming increasingly polarized, with the share of employment in both high and low wage jobs increasing, while the share of employment in middle-wage jobs has fallen (Acemoglu & Autor, 2011; Goos et al., 2009).

EPSRC ICASE Studentship with Siemens: Automated, Adaptive, Intelligent Assembly of Complex Electronics Products Using Modular-Collaborative Robot Technology
This project aims to enable modular-collaborative robots to autonomously deal with part and process variations in complex electronics assembly. Read more
Revolutionizing Traditional Manufacturing: Sensor Enabled Robotic Decommissioning (Enhanced Yearly Stipend)
The goal of the project is to investigate sensor-driven automation of high-integrity decommissioning based on ultrasonic sensor data, to safely deliver high-quality decommissioning right first time, every time, in challenging industrial environments. Read more
Industrial Robots-as-a-Service: Understanding Social and Economic Implications
OVERVIEW. The Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering has seen 100% of its research impact rated as ‘world leading’ or ‘internationally excellent’, underlining the wide-ranging positive impacts that our research has on the world (REF, 2021). Read more
Agent-based cyber-physical production systems for Industry 4.0
This project aims to develop novel methods and software tools for the implementation of highly adaptive multi-agent systems for manufacturing control, applying plug-and-produce technology to cyber-physical systems. Read more
Machine learning based circuit design and optimisation for image sensors
Integrated circuit design has been among the drivers of technology in the past few decades, from the ubiquitous processors in computers and smartphones to everyday home and industrial appliances. Read more
