Agentic AI for Autonomous Things: Vision-Language-Action Models, Embodied Intelligence and Real-World Decision-Making

Durham University

Department of Computer Science

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond passive prediction towards systems that can reason, plan, interact and act. This shift is driving rapid progress in agentic AI - i.e., AI systems that can interpret goals, make decisions, use tools, coordinate with humans and operate in changing real-world environments.

Unified Power Micro-grid Optimisation Strategies for Data Centres (UPMOST)

Durham University

Department of Engineering

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is powerful. But it depends on data centres who shouldn’t be too much power-hungry. Did you know a single large-scale data centre consumes as much energy as 50,000 households? If you think that’s a problem worth solving, we want you for our PhD program. Read more

Supervisor: Prof H Sun

16 June 2026 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Computer Vision with Deep-Learning Based Artificial Intelligence for High-Dimensional Data

Durham University

Department of Computer Science

High-dimentional data is central to many computer vision research. Such data includes videos, 3D motions and trajectories, LiDAR, RADAR, medical images, meshes, time series, etc. Read more
