Enhanced Deep Learning via Optimisation in Computational Imaging
Context. The project will be co-supervised at Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh, UK), and CentraleSupélec (University Paris-Saclay, France). Read more
Discovery of new materials for applications on glass using Mathematical Optimisation and Machine Learning methodologies (Ref NSGPVCS2023)
The functionalisation of flat glass is a multi-billion-dollar industry spanning applications including displays technology, energy saving windows and energy generation through photovoltaics. Read more
Fast Optimisation of Wind and Tidal-Stream Turbine Arrays
Aim. To create a fast, efficient, validated software tool for the layout of wind or tidal-stream turbine arrays. Background. Wind turbines now generate more than a quarter of UK electricity. Read more
Probabilistic stability analysis and optimisation for human-machine interactive systems using stochastic distribution shaping
Research Group:
Applied Computing
Future industrial systems will be significantly different from their present states. The main factor we have to consider is the uncertainties. Read more
Supporting Communities through Optimisation of Deliveries
The delivery of goods and services to urban and rural communities, on a commercial and a voluntary basis, is increasing which in turn has the potential increase environmental impact and congestion. Read more
Design of lightweight composite stiffened shell structures using topology optimisation
The aim of this project is to create new topology optimisation methods for the design of composite lightweight stiffened shell structures. Read more
Modelling and Optimisation of Urban Evacuation Procedures
Background. Evacuation constitutes the most fundamental strategy in the response to a humanitarian disaster. Key among the factors impeding evacuation is the unique traffic patterns that arise due to the sudden surge in travel demand, which contravene nominal traveller behaviour. Read more
Real-time optimisation control of batch processes
Batch processes are widely used in the pharmaceutical, specialty chemical, and food industry for the responsive agile manufacturing of high value added products. Read more
Stochastic response characterisation and reliability driven optimisation of floating wind turbines
As the wind turbine installations move to deep-water environments, there is an increasing focus on the design considerations for floating wind turbines (FWTs). Read more
Aerostructural optimisation of ultra-high aspect ratio wings
Supervisory Team. Prof. Ali Elham. Project description. To meet the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, aviation (~3% of human global CO2 emissions) must do its share. Read more
Last chance to apply
Topological optimisation of 3D printable THz waveguides for on-chip applications
Driven by our data hungry society, chip-to-chip and device-to-device data bit rates will need to reach terabits per second in a not distant future. Read more
Modelling and optimisation of integrated multi energy systems
3.5 years full time, start date 1st October 23. Description of Project. We seek to recruit a highly motivated PhD researcher with technical ability to conduct research in the area of modelling and optimisation of integrated multi energy systems, including electricity, heat and hydrogen/gas. Read more
Optimisation surface characterisation
Many projects in Engineering and Computer Science involve global multivariate optimisation. Classical methods include genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and particle filters. Read more
Adjoint optimisation of aero engine fuel passages
Aero engines can suffer from deposition growth over time, resulting in suboptimal engine heat management, spray patternation and hot spots. Read more
Multi-objective optimisation of sensor network data collection with a mobile gateway
IoT applications such as precision agriculture and environmental monitoring often require sensors distributed over a wide area without fixed infrastructure. Read more
