University of Bristol PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 170 University of Bristol PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

University of Bristol

The University of Bristol, founded in 1876, is a research-intensive institution with a strong reputation across many disciplines. We are members of the prestigious Russell Group and a top ten UK university (QS World University Rankings 2026). Bristol is one of the country's top five universities for research (THE analysis of REF 2021), making it an attractive choice for PhD students. We welcome students and staff from over 140 countries, with 33% of our students being international.

Agentic AI for Financial Market Analysis

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Recent advances in generative AI and autonomous agents create new opportunities to investigate financial markets, automate quantitative research and discover previously unidentified market behaviours. Read more

Supervisor: Dr CK Kind

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Biology-Informed ML for Antibody Discovery

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Therapeutic antibodies are one of the most promising and fastest-growing classes of biotherapeutics for both infectious and non-communicable diseases, and antibody-based diagnostic tools are relevant for areas as distinct as pandemic preparedness and early detection of cancers. Read more

Supervisor: Dr FC Campelo

AI emulation of complex disease models for intervention simulation

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Agent-based models (ABMs) are powerful tools for simulating the spread of infectious diseases. ABMs allow the simulation of individual-level human behaviour and can therefore be used to explore the possible implications of highly localised intervention strategies to mitigate the spread of diseases. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JAB Aylett-Bullock

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Climate shock recovery modelling

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

In the aftermath of climate-related crises, including floods, cyclones and hurricanes, governments must make critical recovery decisions before a comprehensive picture of impact is available. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JAB Aylett-Bullock

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Uncertainty in complex humanitarian decision-making

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Crises including armed conflict, climate shocks, and public health emergencies are complex systems that amplify existing inequalities. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JAB Aylett-Bullock

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Computational modelling for health risk reduction in refugee settlements

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Refugee settlements are highly susceptible to climate shocks and the spread of infectious diseases. For example, flooding can damage water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in settlements and force families to leave their shelters. Read more

Supervisor: Dr JAB Aylett-Bullock

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Machine Learning for Personalised Seizure Forecasting in Epilepsy

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Epilepsy is a serious neurological disorder affecting over 50 million people worldwide. It is characterised by unpredictable and recurrent seizures, associated with impaired quality of life, injury, and in some cases death. Read more

Supervisor: Dr AB Brigden

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Living Machines: AI, Mathematics and Robotics for Artificial Life

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

What if robots were not controlled in the conventional sense, but could move, adapt and organise themselves through the physics of their own material?. Read more

Supervisor: Dr H Gadelha

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Robotic Textiles Towards the Future Smart Assistive Clothing

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Wearable robotics is evolving beyond rigid exoskeletons towards soft, adaptive, and textile-based systems that automatically sense, conform, and respond to the human body. Read more

Supervisor: Dr RD Diteesawat

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

When AI learns from AI: understanding and preventing model collapse

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Generative AI models are increasingly trained on data that other models produced. Over generations this can erode what they know. Read more

Supervisor: Dr FMP Moreno-Pino

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Learning Movement at Scale: Foundation Models for Trajectories and Beyond

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Movement is common across diverse systems, from people travelling through cities to ships crossing oceans and animals navigating ecosystems. Read more

Supervisor: Dr AS Soares

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

From Trajectories to Meaning: Symbolic Learning for Movement Data

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Movement data are being collected at unprecedented scales, from GPS traces of people and vehicles to animal tracking and maritime traffic. Read more

Supervisor: Dr AS Soares

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Reliable Agentic AI for Financial Technology Research

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Generative and agentic AI systems can increasingly conduct substantial parts of the empirical research process, including data collection, coding, statistical analysis, robustness testing and interpretation. Read more

Supervisor: Dr YY Yang

1 December 2026 PhD Research Project Competition Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Investigating foot traffic at regional and national scales

University of Bristol

School of Engineering Mathematics and Technology

Improvements in camera technology and machine vision have enabled a data revolution in transportation, substantially expanding the evidence base beyond vehicular traffic. Read more
