Tracking the evolution, spread and key drivers of zoonotic diseases
Research Group:
Edinburgh Infectious Diseases
Project offered for Ker Memorial PhD Studentship in Infectious Diseases. Highly pathogenic avian influenza viruses (HPAIV) present a significant threat to public health, food security, and the poultry industry. Read more
Impact of organic pollutants on the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in aquatic environments (VC23034)
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern, associated with ~25000 deaths annually in Europe alone (1). Read more
The emergence of bacterial persisters and the contribution to AMR in pathogen populations
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant concern in the battle against bacterial disease. Our understanding of resistance gene occurrence and spread as contributing to AMR is significant. Read more

Emergent Properties of Large Databases
The emergence of unusual or unexpected distributions in large data samples has resulted in some well-known laws, which includes Zipf’s Law in textual analysis [1], the Pareto distribution in the measurement of wealth [2], Benford’s Law in the distribution of first digits in real-world measurements [3], and Chargaff’s Second Parity Rule in genetics [4].

Incremental machine learning with emerging new classes and application to edge computing [Self-Funded Students only]
Research Group:
Complex Systems
Standard classification methods can only classify pre-defined classes, i.e., they classify a new instance into one (or multiple) of the known classes. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more
