Harnessing the Power of Time Delays in Dynamical Systems
Time delays are often seen as a source of frustration — missed connections due to delayed flights, disrupted online gaming due to communication lags, or instability of dynamical systems due to tiny control loop delays. Read more
Advanced Control Methods for Flexible Structures
The need for precise control of flexible structures is more critical than ever. Whether it’s reducing the weight of next-generation aircraft, ensuring the stability of towering skyscrapers, or improving the energy efficiency of mechanical systems, advanced control methods are at the heart of these challenges. Read more
Control of Partial Differential Equations
Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) govern a vast array of real-world phenomena, from the stability of fusion reactors and the dynamics of oil drill strings to the behaviour of quantum systems and the flow of traffic. Read more
Fault Detection and Diagnosis of Industrial Machinery
Health monitoring and predictive maintenance (HMPM) are crucial for preventing unexpected equipment failures and reducing maintenance costs. Read more
Machine Learning for Resilient Operation of Cybersecurity Systems
Are you interested in machine learning and data science and their application to cybersecurity? We have a PhD project fully funded by the DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) at The University of Sheffield, part of the prestigious UK Russell Group of Universities in the UK. Read more
Digitally enabled development of sustainable metamaterials to create circular alternatives to current unsustainable parts widely used in industry
Manufacturing causes ~20% of global carbon emissions and ~50% of energy use [e.g. 1]. The UK’s third climate change risk assessment [2] suggests the climate crisis has caused irreversible damage. Read more
Adaptive Learning in Brain-Robot Interactions
This project aims to develop a non-invasive brain-machine interface (BMI) that allows a user to direct a semi-autonomous robot to perform different tasks through brain signals. Read more
ACS-06-Pope - Digitally enabled development of sustainable metamaterials to create circular alternatives to current unsustainable parts widely used in industry
Manufacturing causes ~20% of global carbon emissions and ~50% of energy use [e.g. 1]. The UK’s third climate change risk assessment [2] suggests the climate crisis has caused irreversible damage. Read more
Funded PhD studentship in Semiconductor Epitaxy at the UK National Epitaxy Facility
The EPSRC National Epitaxy Facility has a funded PhD studentship available for research and development in the epitaxy of semiconductor materials and devices. Read more
A Robotic Exoskeletal Sleeve for Flexible Endoscopic Surgery
Colorectal cancer is the second most deadly cancer (0.94 million deaths, 9.4% of all cancer deaths) in 2020 worldwide. Endoscopic Submucosal Dissection (ESD) is a procedure to remove large colorectal cancer tumors by inserting flexible tools into the colon through the anus, without making incisions on the body. Read more
ACS-99-OPEN - Machine tool dynamics-based digital twins for real-time monitoring of cutting tool conditions in smart manufacturing
Background. Smart manufacturing, a broad category of manufacturing that employs digital information, flexible skilled workforce training, and computer-integrated systems, has become the primary pathway for transforming and upgrading manufacturing industry in the coming decades. Read more
Individual decisions for transport network efficiency and sustainability
The University of Sheffield invites applications from outstanding candidates for this PhD scholarship opportunity. The project is looking at understanding the interplay of selfish routing, social norms and the availability of transport modes for the development of sustainable mobility at urban and regional scale.
