Influence of listener movement on tonality and spatial quality in adaptive immersive surround sound systems

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Whilst there is a significant body of work that focuses on the spatial quality and tonality of immersive surround sound systems for a sweet spot position, these qualities under a dynamic listening scenario (i.e. Read more

In Situ Multimodal Imaging of Crystallisation

  Research Group: Condensed matter and materials physics
This project will use advanced electron and X-ray microscopy in situ liquid cell techniques to gain new insights into the mineralisation process of biomimetic model systems. Read more

Improvements in headphone based 3-D audio using adaptive binaural signal processing and robust head-tracking

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Design of immersive binaural surround systems requires an understanding of the perceptual cues for sound source localisation. Any source at a given angle of incidence to the head will create subtle time and level difference cues at the ears and is subject to spectral shaping due to the pinnae. Read more

Implementing a new locomotion controller for robots with wheels and legs

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In most robot applications robots are entirely built with one method of locomotion either wheels or joints. However, for the most complex environments, more than one method of locomotion is required for a robot to transverse that environment. Read more

Implementing a (tree-based) decoding for robot generation

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In the Autonomous Robotic Evolution project robots for different types of challenging environments are autonomously designed and fabricated with the Robot Fabricator. Read more

Implement reinforcement learning for robots in hardware to handle the reality gap

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
In the Autonomous Robotic Evolution project robots for different types of challenging environments are autonomously designed and fabricated with the Robot Fabricator. Read more

Immersive Audio for Virtual Production

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
We seek a candidate to work in the area of immersive sound for virtual production technologies for live performance. We are interested in PhDs to develop the underlying signal processing and perceptual evaluation of shared, networked immersive audio enviroments across a range of different contexts and experiences. Read more

Hybrid Technologies for Battery Thermal Management Using Smart Materials

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicles (EVs) are powered by lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) with many advantages such as high specific energy, long cycle life, wide range of operating temperature, and low self-discharge rates. Read more

Human Interaction with Low-Speed Autonomous Vehicles

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
The University of York is embarking on ground-breaking research that focuses on data-centric engineering, digital twins, and AI, revolutionizing the way systems are designed and optimized through data. Read more

How AI-driven design tools influence intrapreneurship in engineering businesses

  Research Group: Engineering Education and Management
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is profoundly influencing and revolutionizing the engineering industry by significantly enhancing productivity, efficiency, safety, and innovation across various domains. Read more

High-lifespan many-core devices

  Research Group: Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Switching activity and other technology-related parameters have a significant effect on circuit aging and can therefore affect the lifespan of devices. Read more

High-frequency underwater acoustic communication for image transmission.

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Communication using acoustic waves is the main underwater communication technology, since electro-magnetic waves quickly attenuate underwater. Read more

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

Full-duplex underwater acoustic systems

  Research Group: Communication Technologies
Acoustic signal transmission is the only feasible technology for long-range (>10-100m) underwater communication, navigation and sonar systems. Read more

Exploring medical isotopes production with the photon beams

  Research Group: Healthcare Engineering
There is a growing demand for radioactive isotopes to be employed both in treatment and diagnostics. Suitable isotopes need to be producable in sufficiently large quantities and at affordable price. Read more
