EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Applied Photonics
Our CDT has been funded by EPSRC and Industry since 2001 and we are the longest running Centre for Doctoral Training in Photonics in the UK. Read more
PhD Scholarship in spiking architectures for event-based computing
The recent advances in spiking neural networks (SNNs), standing as the next generation of artificial neural networks have demonstrated clear computational benefits over traditional frame/image-based neural networks. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD): Neural networks conditioning using expert knowledge (Canon Medical and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Artificial intelligence in the form of deep learning, for instance using convolutional neural networks, has made a huge impact on medical image analysis. Read more
Technology Automation for Optimised Chemical Synthesis
Working with the inventor of the Vortex Fluidic Device (. http://www.vortexfluidictechnologies.com. Read more
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) - A study of Rydberg atom for sensing and communication applications (MBDA UK and University of Edinburgh)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
A Rydberg atom possesses a very high dipole moment with valence electrons that are very loosely bound (quasi-free), leading to a highly sensitive response to an external electromagnetic (EM) field. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Next generation long range laser rangefinders based on single photon detectors and new laser technologies (Thales and Heriot-Watt University)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
Laser Rangefinders are a key element of modern sensor systems and can range up to 20km with an accuracy of less than 1m. Thales UK produced the first in-service laser rangefinder in 1965, just a few years after the invention of the laser, and have been designing and manufacturing laser systems ever since. Read more
Field, laboratory and modelling constraints on fluid transport in fractured mudrocks with a focus on chemical self-healing
One of the requirements for a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) for higher-activity radioactive waste is that it needs to contain radionuclides away from the surface environment whilst they are still harmful, which for some radionuclides can be up to tens of thousands of years. Read more
SUPER DTP: The effect of offshore windfarms on the distribution, behaviour, and abundance of fish.
A unique opportunity to apply cutting edge marine sampling methods, deploying surface and submarine drones, to study fish in and around offshore windfarms. Read more
Data-aided joint Radar and Communications Designs
This PhD project aims to develop data-aided joint radar and communication systems techniques. The PhD will invest time in developing the most sophisticated data processing algorithms and their low-complexity alternatives that can be deployed in operations using battery-powered drones or sensor networks.

PhD Scholarship in Artificial Intelligence for Computational Imaging
The Biomedical and Astronomical Signal Processing group (. BASP. ) at Heriot-Watt University Edinburgh (. HWU. ), headed by Professor Yves Wiaux, jointly with Edinburgh's prestigious Centre for Doctoral Training on Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computation. Read more
Laser-based manufacture of a microneedle sensing platform for health monitoring
Microneedles are sub-millimetre needles that have been used in a range of healthcare applications including vaccine delivery, therapeutic delivery and for sensing. Read more
Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) for manufacture of miniature bespoke metallic structures for micro-surgical applications
Within the Applied Optics and Photonics Group at Heriot-Watt there is ongoing research focused on the manufacture of functionally graded shape memory alloys, using Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT), a flexible “direct write” process that allows materials to be controllably deposited at the microscale.
