complex system PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 266 complex system PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

The automated construction of thermodynamic models for complex mixtures

Process design requires accurate and reliable thermodynamic data for multicomponent mixtures in the system over a wide range conditions (e.g., solvents, impurity concentrations, temperatures, pressures) which are often missing, especially for new compounds. Read more

Mechatronics system for hybrid manufacturing processing - (ENG 1316X2)

Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Manufacturing and On-Wing Technology, The University of Nottingham. Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD program in partnership with industry to address key challenges in on-platform manufacturing engineering. Read more

Epigenetic ageing and calorie restriction in an insect model system

This project will help establish an insect model for epigenetic ageing, by analysing the effects of calorie restriction on chronological and epigenetic aging in an important insect model, Nasonia vitripennis, extending our discovery of an epigenetic clock in Nasonia. . Read more

Efficient coding in touch: Exploring cortical feature tuning in the somatosensory system through the lens of efficient coding

Efficient coding models can successfully explain the emergence of different features detectors along the visual pathway, such as center-surround receptive fields, simple and complex cells, and even higher-level visual neurons. Read more

Optimising dynamic scheduling in smart manufacturing through reinforcement learning PhD

This PhD aims to develop an adaptive self-organising solution for dynamic scheduling in job-shop manufacturing. The research will introduce an innovative approach that integrates deep reinforcement learning and multi-agent systems to rapidly respond to emergencies and disruptions. Read more

In silico modelling of endocannabinoid evolution

In the brain, the endocannabinoid (eCB) system maintains adequate neurotransmission (Lu and Mackie 2016). Indeed, the eCB system provides a negative feedback mechanism, preventing over-activation of synaptic transmission. Read more

Waste-to-protein recovery through protein separation and purification

The plant-sourced and animal-sourced proteins are resource-demand and carbon-intensive. This combined with increasing protein demands highlight the complex challenge on providing protein security. Read more

Transition Engineering Lab on the Housing Ecosystem. The Problem of Finding an Affordable, Decent Place to Live, within a Net Zero Community. A breakthrough in the accelerated transition of cities to net zero, thriving environments

  Research Group: Institute of Life and Earth Sciences
This project will be based at Heriot Watt Orkney campus. Rapid emissions reductions[1] require transition of personal transport and freight, and reduction of energy in buildings and embedded in vehicles, and construction in urban areas. Read more

Agent-based cyber-physical production systems for Industry 4.0

  Research Group: Applied Computing
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

Pathogen Aerosolization and Detection in Building Wastewater System Fluid Dynamics

  Research Group: Institute of Sustainable Built Environment
The development of high-rise buildings is now at an unprecedented rate, with their number and scale rapidly and dramatically changing the landscape of global cities. The creation of these complex vertical communities poses major operational challenges for the systems relied upon for occupant safety and the responsible management of wastewater resources. Read more

Artificial Optical Nervous System

Supervisory Team: Ali Masoudi & Gilberto Brambilla. Project description. The study of the mechanical properties of any large, complex structures such as a space launch vehicle or Earth’s crust relies on a large array of sophisticated and, often, expensive sensors. Read more
