Heriot-Watt University has now created scholarship opportunities in the School of Engineering & Physical Sciences for 2021-22.
Requirements
All applicants must have or expect to have a 1st class MChem, MPhys, MSci, MEng or equivalent degree by Autumn 2021. Selection will be based on academic excellence and research potential, and all short-listed applicants will be interviewed (in person or via Microsoft Teams). Most of these scholarships are only open to UK/EU applicants and for
students who meet residency requirements set out by EPSRC
https://epsrc.ukri.org/skills/students/guidance-on-epsrc-studentships/eligibility/ For some projects, applications may be accepted for exceptional overseas applicants.
The project will investigate hybrid methods combining Bayesian statistical methods with state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms to propose fast solutions for challenging imaging problems, while inferring uncertainty measures about the estimated parameters. The project will focus on the fusion of multi-sensor data (Lidar+passive camera) and the rapid reconstruction of high-resolution 3D Lidar data obtained under extreme conditions due to imaging through obscurants (fog, smoke, etc). These problems are important for autonomous navigation and the candidate might collaborate with several industrials including Leonardo.
