Face identity recognition: Exploring the role of observer motion and motion of viewed person
The ability to identify people around us is crucial to our everyday lives, determining the nature of our social interactions and relationships. Read more
Social and climatic influences on animal habitat use and movement patterns
All animals constantly make spatial decisions relating to the different areas in which they live, but we know relatively little about how social and climatic factors influence habitat choices and movement patterns. Read more
A new approach to modelling complex human/robot movement dynamics using techniques from machine learning
Advances in sensing and communications have made it easy to obtain large sets of measurements about an entity, activity or event. 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
Building synthetic muscle for more life-like movement of robotic limbs
Movement of robotic limbs is most agile when mimicking the mechanisms of animals. A prime example of this is the robots developed by Boston Dynamics. Read more

Re-engineering Golgi dynamics in plants – investigating the role of myosin receptors
The growing global population requires the development of novel strategies to sustainably increase food production. Organelle movement is dynamic and linked to changes in cell size, plant biomass and in response to factors which affect food production such as pathogens (Perico and Sparkes, New Phytol. Read more

Understanding eye-hand coordination in object interception - a computational modelling approach
This PhD project with Dr Yeo will focus on understanding how we perform interception. Interceptive movements--such as catching a gently thrown ball, quickly grabbing a tilting cup to avoid spilling or even just handshaking someone--feel like trivial everyday tasks for us that seemingly look too simple to study.

Influence of listener movement on tonality and spatial quality in adaptive immersive surround sound systems
Whilst there is a significant body of work that focuses on the spatial quality and tonality of immersive surround sound systems for a sweet spot position, these qualities under a dynamic listening scenario (i.e. Read more
Smart sensors and spectral techniques in human movement science

Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group
Research Group. Computing, Informatics and Applications Research Group. in collaboration with the Exeter Biomechanics Research Team (ExBiRT), University of Exeter. Read more
Moving softly: how the interplay of neuronal circuits and biomechanics enables complex movement in soft-bodied animals
Soft bodied animals can radically change their body shape, squeeze through cracks, then crawl, roll, tunnel, or even jump. Controlling soft bodies is difficult because they have highly non-linear physical properties and virtually unlimited degrees of freedom. Read more
Funded PhD Studentship: Ocean deoxygenation effects on pelagic shark physiological ecology
The Marine Biological Association (MBA) invites applications for a PhD Studentship working within the . OCEAN DEOXYFISH. project (Ocean deoxygenation effects on threatened top predators. Read more
Moving together in time: the effects of coordinated movements on physical performance, social cognition and overall wellbeing
Our Social Cognition and Movement Rehabilitation Lab (SCMR) investigates various topics on the role of non˗verbal behaviours in everyday conversations, social-cognitive effects of interpersonal synchrony (two or more individuals moving together in time) and explores movement interventions (e.g. Read more
The role of a panelled sport compression garment on performance and movement control in women’s hockey.
An opportunity to apply for a funded full-time PhD in the College of Health, Science and Society, UWE Bristol. The studentship will be funded by University of the West of England and Medigarments Limited, UK. . Read more
