An uncertainty quantification framework for improving the in-flight shape prediction
Background. Wings are designed for very specific in-flight (loaded) target shapes that differ significantly from the neutral (unloaded) ones. Read more
Using Machine Learning to train a Digital Test Pilot for missions in turbulent environments (CDT in Distributed Algorithms)
This PhD project is part of the. CDT in Distributed Algorithms. The What, How and where of Next-Generation Data Science. Read more
Developing next generation fast-timing photon-detectors
Supervisors. Dr. Tom Blake (University of Warwick), Dr. Michal Kreps (University of Warwick) and Dr. James Milnes (Photek Ltd). Read more
Identification of modal parameters and non-linear effects in short and noisy aircraft structural signals.
The EMA (Experimental Modal Analysis) is in a well-developed state for lenghty and linear signals. However, currently there are not tools available for the analysis of short signals, particularly in the case that they are additionally noisy and with non-linear properties. Read more
The collective behaviour, social structure and physiology of flocking in birds
Some of the most impressive biological phenomena emerge out of interactions among members of animal groups. Read more
The use of Artificial Intelligence Approaches to the Analysis of Heart Rate Variability Data (Advert Ref: SF22/EE/CIS/SICE)
Importance. Heart rate variability (HRV), or the variation in the time interval between consecutive heartbeats, is a proven measure for assessing changes in Autonomic Nervous System(ANS) activity. Read more

An interdisciplinary approach to tackling the problem of late Myeloma diagnosis.
There are two parallel studentships on offer. One (this project) is a wet lab project and the other is a bioinformatics project. Both are addressing the fact that multiple myeloma (MM) (a blood cancer of antibody producing cells) is nearly always diagnosed late. Read more

Improving Ultrasonic Imaging using Machine Learning (Enhanced Industrially Funded Stipend)
This PhD will work collaboratively between the Centre for Ultrasonic Engineering (CUE), based in the Department of Electronic & Electrical Engineering (EEE) and the Department of Mathematics and Statistics (Dr. Read more
Exploring evolved solutions to enhancing and maintaining muscle function
Location. Biosciences, Penryn Campus, Cornwall. The University of Exeter’s College of Life and Environmental Sciences is inviting applications for a PhD studentship funded by the Royal Society and the College to commence on 26th September 2022 or as soon as possible thereafter. Read more
Bio-inspired sensing and control for aerial vehicles PhD or MSc by Research
It is well known that birds, bats, insects and fishes can sense environmental flows to perform agile and robust motion. They are also using information about external flows to harvest energy from the environment. Read more
Modelling of buoyancy control for new generation aircraft
Aircraft research is in a state of transition, with a much broader range of possible new aircraft technologies under investigation than ever before. Read more
Aerodynamic and Aero-acoustic Performance Optimisation for the eVTOL Wing in Air-taxi concept.
There have recently been many concepts for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in urban air mobility scenario for both short and mid-range applications. Read more
Steady-State Aerodynamic Characteristics of Morphing Wing With Both Variable Trailing And Leading Edges In Lift High Applications
There have been strong interests in applying innovative morphing wings to the next generation passenger-carrying jets, eco-friendly electric aircraft and drones to improve aerodynamic efficiency, aligning with the sustainability development in future aviation. Read more
Enhanced studentship in high speed aerodynamics
Research Group:
Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
Supervisory Team: Neil Sandham, Minkwan Kim. Project description. A 3.5 year PhD studentship (covering fees and an enhanced stipend, 20% above the usual level) is available for a UK student to work in high speed external aerodynamics. Read more
PhD Studentship in the Rolls-Royce Vibration UTC at Imperial College
Applicants are invited for a research studentship in the field of machine dynamics, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a full bursary and fees (enhanced above the UK student rate). Read more
