Project Highlights. Follow a user-centred design approach to understand human-robot interactions in everyday contexts, identifying social cues affecting social robot engagement. Read more
Mixed reality (MR) embeds virtual content in the real world. Many believe MR is the next big ubiquitous computing paradigm that will replace the smartphone – and big tech companies are investing heavily in the development of MR-based headsets. Read more
The sense of touch is an essential component for the development of robotics and autonomous systems capable of interacting safely with humans and their surrounding environment. Read more
Background. The connection between tectonic evolution, magmatism, and hydrothermal fluid flow along continental margins is critical to predicting mineralizations, petroleum and geothermal energy systems. Read more
Rock and fluid interactions alternate the fluid flow and mechanical properties of porous material and thus play a significant role in many aspects of subsurface engineering application, for example CO2 geological storage and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery. Read more
Highly pathogenic human coronaviruses SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2 interact with the host MASP-2 serine protease, a key factor in the complement system, through a conserved amino acid sequence in their nucleocapsid (N) proteins. Read more
Wall-bounded turbulent flows have been studied extensively under isothermal conditions and principally from the point of view of drag reduction. Read more

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) requires efficient mechanisms to communicate and exchange information from/to human partners to/from robots, e.g., to allow a human partner to command a robot, as well as to allow a robot to express its interpretations and intentions. Read more
Robots have demonstrated their superiority in increasing productivity, efficiency, and consistency across various industries, especially in factory settings. Read more
Applications are invited for this exciting, fully-funded, 42 month PhD studentship at the University of Aberdeen. This project is part of the newly established Anthony & Margaret Johnston. Read more
An ever-increasing use of building materials with high strength-to-weight ratios has led to development of slender and lightweight structures with dazzling forms, especially in case of landmark public structures such as footbridges as well as walkways and corridors between buildings, at airports and shopping centres. Read more
This project aims to develop and implement parallel fluid-structure interaction algorithms including interfaced-fitted methods [1] and two-mesh methods [2], based upon FreeFem++ and PETSc, with application to modelling and simulation of aortic valve interacting with surrounding fluids and tissues; and large-scale simulation of biological swimmers (such as C. Read more
Compared to humans, Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents (e.g. Alexa) are good at processing large amounts of information when determining solutions to problems. Read more
