Electrical & Electronic (media) PhD Projects, Programs & Scholarships

Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

PhD Research Projects are advertised opportunities to examine a pre-defined topic or answer a stated research question. Some projects may also provide scope for you to propose your own ideas and approaches.

This project is in competition for funding with other projects. Usually the project which receives the best applicant will be successful. Unsuccessful projects may still go ahead as self-funded opportunities.

The frequency range between 0.1 and 3 THz holds promise for a myriad of applications such as high-speed communication and remote sensing.

Zero-shot learning refers to a novel paradigm on learning how to recognise new concepts by just having a description of them. For example, zero-shot learning works on a setting of solving a classification problem when no labelled training examples are available for all classes, which are divided into two class subsets.
