User-Centric Privacy-by-Design AI-based Adaptive Access Control in a HealthCare Robot for the Elderly
The Industry and Innovation Research Institute (I2Ri) draws on talents, expertise and facilities across Sheffield Hallam University. Read more
User-centered Security and Privacy for Internet-Connected Devices in Elderly Care
Research Group:
Cyber Security
Co-Supervisor. Professor Jeff Yan. Internet-connected devices, such as mobile or IoT devices, are now widely used in elderly care for monitoring and tracking. Read more
Ageing to Arrhythmias
Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of sudden death and morbidity. This project aims to identify why they occur in the elderly and novel routes to therapies. Read more
SELF-FUNDED 3.5-YEAR PHD – Automatic segmentation of femur using deep learning combined with phantomless calibration for rapid personalised fracture risk predictions in clinical applications
We are excited to announce a new PhD opportunity in the areas of modelling, biomechanics & deep learning. The project is in collaboration with multiple NHS Trusts including the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals and Sheffield Children’s Hospital. Read more
The role of Reactive Sulfur Species in Ageing and Disease
Oxidative stress (OS) is a major driver of cellular dysfunction in ageing and disease. Read more
Women of the Second Wave: UK practices towards inclusivity and safety during the 1970s and 1980s
Abstract. The ‘second wave’ of feminism is usually associated with the time-frame from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s. Read more
Reframing Critical and Socially Engaged Arts Practices from a Creative Health / Health Humanities Perspective
The Arts and Health Research Group was created in 2021 in response to the nationwide increase in physical and mental health needs in the UK, particularly amongst the young, the elderly and minority groups, following the Covid pandemic and lockdown. Read more
Development of A Tactile Robot that can Feel Hair like a Human
Humans rely on tactile sensing to assess the properties of materials in their surroundings. For example, when running our fingers over our hair, we instinctively adjust our movements—varying pressure, speed, and contact angle—to perceive texture, smoothness, or elasticity. Read more
Next-generation polymeric filters with antimicrobial action for improved air purification
Supported by dedicated supervisory and technical teams, this PhD offers an exciting and unique multi-disciplinary opportunity across two world-class research… Read more
CRUK Black Leaders in Cancer Non-Clinical PhD Scholarship: Investigating the influence of the aged microbiome on the immune response to cancer
This programme is aimed at students from Black heritage backgrounds pursuing a PhD in cancer-related fields. This scheme is open to people who self-identify as being from a Black heritage background, including a mixed background, for example. Read more
The molecular basis of age-related changes to lumbosacral spinal autonomic and motoneurons.
Ageing may lead to a progressive loss of physiological function resulting in a reduced quality of life for elderly people. Significantly, many aged people suffer from bladder/bowel and sexual dysfunction, which can include constipation, incontinence and impaired sexual function. Read more
Food protein digestion model in relation to age
Tune in for our live webinars coming up - the next on April 3 and the one after on June 5. Protein is one of the essential nutrients for human body, which maintains life activities and health. Read more
Regulation of p53 by selenium: implication for the ageing population
Background. Ageing is a complex process marked by the accumulation of cellular damage. Oxidative stress contributes to ageing through induction of DNA damage, chronic inflammation, and loss of redox homeostasis. Read more
A Personality Orientated Spoken Dialogue System for Realistic Humanoid Robots
Realistic humanoid robots (RHRs) with embodied artificial intelligence (EAI) provide a unique opportunity for broadening communication between humans and technology that can be highly accessible, natural and engaging. Read more
Estimation of Brain Atrophy from Non-contrast CT Scans Using Deep Learning for Early Detection of Cognitive Impairment
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
