Acoustics (project) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 29 Acoustics (project) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Combining laser and ultrasound based molecular delivery strategies for enhanced drug delivery

Overview. This project addresses the critical area of delivering therapeutics to the skin. If successful, the approach will have direct and positive consequences for the treatment of a range of skin diseases, but may also be viewed as a more generic means of drug delivery for treating a much wider range of disease.

Noise Control of Railway Slab Track

Supervisory Team: Professor David Thompson, Dr Wenjing Sun . Project Description. An exciting PhD opportunity is available at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research, University of Southampton in conjunction with Alstom on the control of noise from railway slab track. Read more

Sonars for precise underwater autonomous vehicle (AUV) navigation.

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
There is a great interest in underwater autonomous vehicles (AUVs) and currently many companies develop AUVs for multiple applications. Read more

Audio/acoustics Machine Learning

One fully-funded PhD studentship including fees and stipend is available for an outstanding candidate to join the Centre for Vision, Speech and Signal Processing (CVSSP), part of the University of Surrey’s Institute for People-centred Artificial Intelligence (PAI), in partnership with Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS. Read more

Machine learning in underwater acoustic communication modems

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Machine learning is an approach that is useful when a practical optimisation problem is difficult to describe precisely. This approach has found multiple applications. Read more

High-frequency underwater acoustic communication for image transmission.

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Communication using acoustic waves is the main underwater communication technology, since electro-magnetic waves quickly attenuate underwater. Read more

High data rate adaptive underwater acoustic networks

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
The ocean plays a key role in supporting all living organisms on our planet, yet the vast majority of the ocean remains unmapped and unobserved. Read more

Full-duplex underwater acoustic systems

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Acoustic signal transmission is the only feasible technology for long-range (>10-100m) underwater communication, navigation and sonar systems. Read more

Cutting-edge microphone arrays for improving smart device performance in adverse environments

PhD Supervisor. Jiahong Zhao. Project description. This project aims to explore the design of an alternative class of microphone arrays, so-called co-prime microphone arrays, for recording and processing speech in adverse environments. Read more

3D sound recreation and noise reduction for home environment

PhD Supervisor. Jihui (Aimee) Zhang. Project description. The aim of this project is to create a better spatial hearing experience for users in a large region without the need to wear headphones. Read more

Low-noise Ducted Propulsion Systems for Next-Gen eVTOL Platforms

Supervisory Team.   Phillip Joseph, Sergi Palleja Cabre and Chaitanya Paruchuri. Project description. Overview. Electrically-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are poised to revolutionize transportation, contributing significantly to the UK economy. Read more

Active Noise Control on Controllable Flexible Surfaces

Supervisory Team. Chuang Shi, Jordan Cheer. Project description. Active noise control (ANC) has been developed over many years to mitigate unwanted noise in various environments. Read more

Computational Acoustics: Predicting, Simulating and/or Auralising how the world sounds

  Research Group: Acoustics Research Centre
Information on this PhD research area can be found further down this page under the details about the Widening Participation Scholarship given immediately below. Read more

Developing optical beamshaping approaches for optical trapping and optical tweezering of aerosols

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Programming Colloidal Self-Assembly for Advanced Materials

A PhD place is available with Dr Dwaipayan Chakrabarti in the School of Chemistry at the University of Birmingham on a project themed on designing and developing colloidal advanced materials, using high-performance computing, underpinned by theories of statistical mechanics and wave propagation in periodic structures.
