  Research Group: Data and Knowledge Engineering
This project will apply artificial intelligence methods for natural language processing and machine learning to extract ecological and biodiversity data from textual descriptions of the environments in which biological specimens were collected. Read more

Utilisation of novel approaches in the bioprospecting of extreme habitats for novel antimicrobial agents. (ref: SF22/HLS/APP/ALJONES)

Since the discovery of penicillin, bioactive compounds have been sourced from microorganisms, which has led to the development of the majority of our antimicrobial agents. Actinomycetes are the most prolific producers of well-known antibiotics in clinical use, such as Rifampicin and Streptomycin.

Conservation and behaviour of a threatened bird

The Southern Black-throated finch Poephila cincta cincta, is currently listed as endangered following a decline over more than 80% of its former range since the 1970’s, largely due to habitat loss and degradation. Read more

Effects of urbanisation on insect biodiversity

Urbanisation is among the greatest threats to existing biodiversity. Recent studies reveal a worldwide decline of arthropods, threatening the sustainment of essential ecosystem services such as pollination and food webs. Read more

Fully-funded studentship - Developing novel spatio-temporal models for large citizen science data sets

Supervisors: This is a joint project between the University of Kent and Butterfly Conservation and the PhD student will be supervised by a team with expertise in Statistics, Statistical Ecology, Citizen Science, and Butterfly Monitoring. Read more

Insect movement and migration behaviour and implications for ecosystem function

Insects play many critical roles in global ecosystems. However, there is still relatively little known about their movement and migration behaviour and how this may influence a species’ ability to respond to landscape change. Read more

Electrical ringbarking of wilding trees

New Zealand, in common with many other countries, has a problem with invasive plant species which can colonize areas of the land, displacing endemic and indigenous flora and destroying the habitat of endemic and indigenous fauna. Read more
