Emergent Properties of Large Databases
The emergence of unusual or unexpected distributions in large data samples has resulted in some well-known laws, which includes Zipf’s Law in textual analysis [1], the Pareto distribution in the measurement of wealth [2], Benford’s Law in the distribution of first digits in real-world measurements [3], and Chargaff’s Second Parity Rule in genetics [4].

Design and performance optimization of Proton exchange membrane fuel cell for aviation application
Commercial aviation currently accounts for approximately 2.6% of annual global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Read more
Aerodynamic and aeroelastic design and analysis of a bat-inspired morphing wing for micro air vehicles (MAVs)
The actively deforming bat wing has shown superior flight performance because of the high aerodynamic efficiency at low Reynolds number. Read more
Designing optimal strategies for controlling complex quantum systems
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. Introduction. Complex processes, such as chemical reactions or financial markets, are challenging to predict due to vast data requirements, temporal correlations, and sensitivity to initial conditions [1]. Read more
Understanding Astrophysical Particle Acceleration using the Sun
Particle acceleration and transport are fundamental physical processes that occur over a plethora of astrophysical objects including planetary magnetospheres… Read more
[STFC Studentship] Simulation-based Inference of gravitational waves signals from black holes and neutron stars
Black holes and neutron stars are the densest objects in the universe, well beyond what we can produce in a laboratory and at the very edge of our understanding of physics. Read more
Flow physics of supersonic boundary layers
PhD Supervisor: Neil Sandham. Project description. This project is focused on scale-resolving simulations (large-eddy and direct numerical simulation) combined with analysis to understand complex phenomena in high-speed boundary layers, from transonic up to hypersonic. Read more
[STFC Studentship] Using numerical relativity to model gravitational waves from binary black holes
Numerical solutions of the Einstein equations for the last orbits and merger of two black holes are essential to model the gravitational-wave signal from such systems, which are the prime source for gravitational-wave observations with Advanced LIGO and Virgo. Read more
[STFC Studentship] Population inference from gravitational wave data
The full potential of gravitational wave data in astrophysics lies in studying patterns within populations of detected events. Read more
[STFC Studentship] Formation of gravitational wave sources in dense star clusters
The Ligo-Virgo interferometers have detected more than 100 binary black hole mergers and hundreds to come. This new set of data has provided important clues to the properties of compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars and to the environments in which they form. Read more
Goal Driven Learning of Quantum Chemical Energy Surfaces using Multi-Fidelity Bayesian Optimization
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. Perhaps the most important task in computational materials modelling is efficient sampling of the complex interatomic potential energy surface (PES), dictated by chemical formula unit, and relative orientation of those species [1]. Read more
Developing efficient Bayesian samplers for evolutionary analysis in the Tree of Life
Primary Supervisor: Dr Mario dos Reis Barros. Co-Supervisor(s): Prof Richard Nichols. Funding: China Scholarship Council (CSC). Read more
Machine Learning methods fro Astrobiology: Identifying Target Exo-Planets for Upcoming Biosignature Missions
Primary Supervisor: Dr Chris Duffy. Co-Supervisor(s): Dr Guy Hanke, Dr Thomas Haworth (SPCS) and Dr Ed Gillen (SPCS). Read more
