Domestic Abuse Support Provision for Trans+ People in Scotland
Recent years in Scotland and the UK have seen both proposed reform of trans+ rights, and a rise in anti-trans voices in the pub Domestic Abuse Support Provision for Trans+ People in Scotland lic sphere. Read more
The role of parts and part relations in human object recognition
Common objects typically show a clear visual structure in terms of parts or components (for example. the legs, the head and the trunk of a cow, or the top and the legs of a table). Read more
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
Fluency and Context in Recognition Memory
This project relates to a sort of ‘memory illusion’. On a recognition memory test, increasing the perceptual fluency of a test cue increases the likelihood that the word will be endorsed as ‘familiar’, even if it hasn’t been seen in the study phase (and therefore should have been called ‘new’).

Learning to Understand 2D/3D Facial Dynamics [Self Funded Students Only]
Humans are particularly good at recognising faces, not only for identities but also for more subtle expressions and micro-expressions. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Exploring the structure of the Enterococcal Polysaccharide Antigen to understand its role in cell division, antimicrobial resistance, and surface recognition by bacteriophages
This project focuses on the structure/function analysis of a surface polysaccharide produced by enterococci, required for normal cell growth, division, resistance to antibiotics and pathogenesis. Read more
Developing Children’s Rights-based approaches for law and policy inScotland – journeying from recognition towards incorporation andimplementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
PROJECT DESCRIPTION. In recent decades, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has acquired greater recognition in law,policy and practice in Scotland and elsewhere. Read more
The company one keeps: Understanding social context effects in 'other-race' face recognition
The so-called ‘other-race’ effect in face perception ( a poorer ability to recognize ‘other-race’ compared to ‘own-race’ faces) is one of the best replicated phenomena in psychology. Read more
White Rose BBSRC DTP: Comparison of the DNA recognition and genome packaging mechanisms used by true viruses and novel selfless viruses
Viruses are the most abundant biological agents on our planet, infecting organisms across all domains of life. They affect humans directly through infectious diseases, as well indirectly through their impact on the biosphere. Read more
Fully-funded White Rose BBSRC DTP Biology project: Comparison of the DNA recognition and genome packaging mechanisms used by true viruses and novel selfless viruses
Lead supervisor. Dr Paul Fogg. Co-supervisors. Prof Fred Antson. The student will be registered with the Department of Biology. Viruses are the most abundant biological agents on our planet, infecting organisms across all domains of life. Read more
Basal stem cells in the lung and their recognition of dying cells
Stem cell division and differentiation is critical for barrier repair following inflammation, but the initial trigger for this process is unknown. Read more
Improving eyewitness memory retrieval and recognition: From police investigations to the courtroom
Applications are invited for a self-funded, 3 year full-time or 6 year part-time PhD project. The PhD will be based in the Department of Psychology and will be supervised by Dr Renan Saraiva, Dr Stefana Juncu and Prof Lorraine Hope. Read more
Image-based Recognition of Unidentified Featured Objects (UFOs)
With the development of deep learning approaches and convolutional neural networks (CNN) in particular, the task of recognising objects from an image has become associated with the ability to train a network using a large number of labelled images for each class of interest [He2016]. Read more
Automatic Object and Behaviour Recognition in Video/ Image Sequences
Smart CCTV systems have been subject on an increased interest during the last decades. There are many reasons for this interest, such as the need of processing quickly, in an automatic way huge amounts of video data. Read more
