Constrained control and set invariance

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Invariant sets play an important and fundamental role in the design of control systems. An invariant set is a region of a dynamic system’s state space that has the following property. Read more

Efficient and Reliable Numerical Solution of Dynamic Optimization

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Dynamic optimization is integral to many aspects of science and engineering, commonly found in trajectory optimization, optimal control (e.g. Read more

Improving road safety in low- and middle- income countries

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

Ninety percent of the globe’s road traffic fatalities are located in Low- and Middle- Income Countries (LMICs) but the majority of research available to date addresses driver behaviour in high income countries. Read more

Understanding and intervening in young driver road safety

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

Newly-qualified drivers are the most likely drivers on the road to be involved in crashes. This is likely to reflect a combination of insufficient driving skill and deliberately choosing a risky driving style (e.g., speeding, dangerous overtaking). Read more

Heterogeneity in the development of antisocial behaviour

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

Antisocial behaviour is a very wide-ranging term including fighting, stealing, and temper tantrums among many other things. It may not make sense to consider these behaviours as a single construct but to identify meaningful subsets that may have different causes, outcomes and respond well to different treatments.

Distributed, robust and adaptive model predictive control (MPC)

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular advanced control technique that solves a constrained optimal control problem, on-line, at each sampling instant. Read more

Artificial intelligence and machine learning methods for model discovery in the social sciences

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

Many theories have been proposed for how problematic social phenomena - such as segregation, inequality, and clustering of unhealthy behaviours - emerge and change over time. Read more

An Information Theoretic Approach to the Smart Grid

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The way the smart grid is envisioned in the near future is as a constantly changing system where intermittent renewable sources and non stationary loads impose a turbulent system. Read more

Computationally efficient modelling & simulation and applications

University of Sheffield

School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering

The advent of easily accessible high performance computers or computer clusters and numerical techniques such as finite element methods (FEM) facilitates the highly accurate modelling and simulation of complex systems in diverse science and engineering disciplines including civil engineering, biomechanics and life science.

When do astrocytes contribute to the control of brain blood flow?

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

In order that the brain can function normally, it is essential that blood flow within the brain is well matched to neuronal metabolic demand. Read more

Supervisor: Dr C Howarth

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

Using pharmacological agents to investigate the mechanisms of the neuronal vascular coupling

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

The changes in cerebral blood flow, volume and oxygenation that accompany increases in neural activity form the basis of non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) which allow human brain mapping. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Berwick

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

Understanding neurovascular coupling and its importance in the interpretation of modern neuroimaging techniques

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

During the past two decades, blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become the scientific technique of choice for investigating human brain function in the field of cognitive neuroscience. Read more

Supervisor: Dr J Berwick

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

The neurophysiological basis of spontaneous fluctuations in neuroimaging signals

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

A technique called blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can determine levels of different activity in parts of the living human brain and how malfunctions can occur in disease. Read more

The development of flexible cognition in children and adults

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

The ability to switch flexibly between different rules is a crucial skill that emerges gradually during the preschool and early school years, and underpins many more complex behaviours. Read more

The breakdown of neurovascular coupling in the diseased state specifically Epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease

University of Sheffield

School of Psychology

Epilepsy is the most common neurological condition in the UK, affecting 1 – 2 % of the population. Epilepsies often involve only a small area of the brain - the epileptic focus – and the abnormal activity can propagate out from there. Read more
