AI for Ecology and Biodiversity: Inferring habitat-species interactions from historical records [Self Funded Students Only]
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
Torymus sinensis: Monitoring the spread and ecological impacts of a non-native biological control agent in the UK
Research Group:
Institute of Ecology & Evolution
Background. Biological invasions are one of the main threats to global biodiversity. Many invasive species become serious pests, and biological control through release of natural enemies that attack the pest in its native range can be an effective strategy to reduce the damage they cause. Read more
Using Sound to Monitor Wildlife
Automated monitoring is an important aspect of future approaches to biodiversity preservation. You could be at the forefront of this new wave of conservation… Read more
Understanding extinction risk in the Anthropocene
We live in a humanized world in which even the most remote areas have been affected by the actions of our species. Human impacts have caused a widespread loss of biodiversity, to the point that we have likely entered the sixth mass extinction event on Earth, the first primarily caused by humans. Read more
PhD in Food Web Networks and Environmental Change: Exploring how natural and anthropogenic stress influence the structure and dynamics of communities.
The interactions among species define a food web network. In these networks, species have dynamics (e.g. numbers and biomass), the community has structure (e.g. Read more

QUADRAT DTP: Harnessing next-generation diagnostic technologies for eDNA-based biosurveillance, wildlife forensics and conservation biology.
DNA/eDNA barcoding has revolutionised how we catalogue, characterise and monitor biodiversity in natural environments. Read more
Award details iCASE: Looking for an Achilles Heel in the deadly fungi that cause Mucormycosis Ref
Project Summary: Invasive infections by Mucorales fungi are life-threatening complications of severe blast trauma. Mucorales are resistant to most antifungals and cause devastating infections, yet are poorly understood. 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
How does Aspergillus fumigatus activate the inflammasome?
Invasive fungal infections are a major cause of mortality, with more people dying from the ten main invasive fungal diseases than from tuberculosis or malaria. Read more

Novel AI methods for zoonotic disease prevention and prediction - Host association studies of Salmonella Typhimurium using Machine Learning
In this PhD project you will join a Government-Academia collaborative project to develop novel computational approaches to detect and predict a type of infectious diseases termed zoonotic disease that can be transmitted between species, from animals to humans (and vice-versa). . Read more
Development of antifungal nanotherapeutics containing AmB+ drug combinations using an advanced continuous manufacturing technology
Each year there are more than 150 million severe cases of fungal infection that occur globally, resulting in significant mortality. Read more
