AI Driven Sensor Enabled Automated Adaptive Welding

University of Strathclyde

Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering

This is a unique 42-month fully funded PhD opportunity to shape the future of manufacturing by researching and developing sensor-driven and AI robotic techniques to streamline the welding process and achieve first-time-right welding for challenging marine configurations. Read more

Supervisors: Dr C Loukas, Prof C Macleod

18 August 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

Unified Theory for Reinforcement Learning

Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University

School of Mathematics and Physics

The main issue addressed in reinforcement learning is to establish a probability statistical model that progressively approximates the actual system based on past observations and learning of parameters, and simultaneously obtain the optimal decision algorithm under the so-far learned model. Read more

Supervisor: Dr K Liu

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Advanced Systems-Modelling and Optimisation in Materials Science and Engineering

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Understanding the thermo-mechanical properties of metals (in hot/cold conditions) allows to achieve right-first-time production of these metals. Read more

Supervisor: Prof M Mahfouf

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Signal processing techniques for Quantum-enhanced distributed radar systems

University of Birmingham

Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

Distributed radar systems comprise a coherent network of spatially distributed sensors that can be independently transmitting, receiving, or both. Read more

Supervisor: Prof M Antoniou

30 July 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Distributed radar imaging from airborne platforms

University of Birmingham

Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

There is growing UK and international interest in networked sensing and autonomous collaborative platforms, where multiple airborne sensors co-operate to collect and exploit data. Read more

Supervisors: Prof M Antoniou, Dr M M Martorella

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Filters and antenna systems for New Space applications

University of Birmingham

Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

There is a growing trend in space applications toward the use of higher frequencies and broader bandwidths. For example, high throughput telecommunication satellite systems are transitioning from Ku/Ka to Q-band, with extensions reaching the W- and D-band. Read more

Supervisor: Prof Y Wang

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Reconfigurable and programmable microwave devices and antenna systems using new materials and smart structures

University of Birmingham

Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering

With the pervasive use of wireless communication systems from land to space, static communication hardware no longer meets the diverse and dynamic deployment needs. Read more

Bose-Einstein Condensate of strontium atoms

University of Birmingham

School of Physics and Astronomy

We are setting up a new experiment for the realisation of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of strontium atoms. In a BEC, one achieves macroscopic filling of atoms in a single quantum state, which manifests itself as a sharp peak in momentum as well as in position space. Read more

Supervisor: Prof Y Singh

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Superradiance and subradiance states in an entangled ensemble of Sr atoms in a 3D optical lattice.

University of Birmingham

School of Physics and Astronomy

Collective response in an ensemble of atoms can lead to the phenomenon of Superradiance and subradiance states. These are quantum effects and can arise due to strong interactions among atoms of the ensemble. Read more

Supervisor: Prof Y Singh

Year round applications PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Chronometric levelling with transportable optical lattice clocks

University of Birmingham

School of Physics and Astronomy

Chronometric levelling at cm precision is an important application for optical clocks, requiring their relative frequency inaccuracies at the level of 1x10-18. Read more

Supervisor: Prof Y Singh

Year round applications PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Finite temperature magnetic properties of materials

University of York

School of Physics, Engineering and Technology

Magnetic materials are ubiquitous in modern technology. They form the basis for power generators and motors, for data storage, and with spintronics they offer the potential to revolutionize computing in the future. Read more
