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
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

Revealing the Milky disk formation history with the Gaia data
European Space Agency’s Gaia mission (launched in Dec. 2013), which MSSL is heavily involved in, has made the third data release in June 2022, which provide the position and velocity measurements for more than one billion of stars in the Milky Way. 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

The effect of different environmental physical processes on planet formation
Planets form in disks around young stars, the so-called protoplanetary disks. Read more
Doctor of Engineering (EngD) - Ophthalmic imaging with time and spectral resolution (Occuity Ltd and University of Strathclyde)
Research Group:
CDT in Applied Photonics
The project aims to develop a data processing analysis pipeline for retinal imaging ophthalmoscopes with spectral and time-resolved measurement capabilities, to detect signatures of severe diseases from ophthalmic data. Read more
Last chance to apply
The host galaxies of QSOs
The standard paradigm for galaxy formation now has massive black holes in active galactic nuclei playing a key role in shaping the evolution of all substantial galaxies. Read more

Event horizon-scale modelling of radiation from black holes
In 2019 the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration published the first image of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) from the galaxy M87. Read more
Autonomous Reconfiguration, Deployment, and Management of Self-Aware Modular Space Robots
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Modular and dynamically reconfigurable space hardware systems are a high priority for research and development as they can significantly decrease development costs, facilitate multiple payloads, and enable indefinite lifetime extension for space missions. Read more
Plasma-based gas conversion into value-added chemicals
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasmas are promising technology for the conversion of gases such as CO2, CH4 or N2 into more valuable ones, e.g. CO (starting material for alcohols and hydrocarbons), H2 (clean fuel applications) and NH3 (fertilisers). Read more
Controlling plasma chemistry of cold atmospheric-pressure air plasmas
Research Group:
Plasma and fusion science and technologies
Plasma technologies already form a key part of many of today’s multi-billion pound industries such as the nanoscale fabrication of microprocessors, production of solar cells and the deposition of advanced functional coatings. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunity in solid state sciences, crystal growth and neutron scattering
The London Centre for Nanotechnology (LCN) at UCL seeks to appoint a PhD student to work on crystal growth and neutron scattering in advanced, functional materials. Read more
Astrophysical Light Curve Analysis in the Era of Big Data
AI_CDT_DecisionMaking. Details. With next-generation observatories such as the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, ESA[’]{dir"rtl"}s Euclid mission, the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, and the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), astrophysics is witnessing a revolution in data availability. Read more
