Artificial Intelligence enabled Distributed Edge-Centric Cellular Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Today, wireless cellular networks rely heavily on the core network to deliver services. This introduces latency and other inefficiencies. Next generation networks will be much more edge centric, enabling ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) services to be delivered. This requires a fundamental rethink in how edge-centric cellular networks should be delivered. Read more
6G Wireless Communications for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles in Challenging Environments
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Future autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles will rely significantly on wireless connectivity to exchange information between other vehicles (V2V) and… 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.

Artificial Intelligence based Electric Vehicle Motor Design
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Electric vehicle development has been a hot topic around the world. This PhD programme will develop artificial intelligence based computational tools to accelerate electric vehicle motor design and optimization process. Read more
Realistic Underwater Acoustic Propagation Model for Medium Access Control Protocol Evaluation
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Successful prediction of the performance of medium access control protocols is dependent on a realistic model of the underlying propagation channel. Read more
Intelligent Medium Access Control for Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Most research in underwater acoustic communication deals with the physical layer, with primitive and inflexible multiple access, despite the medium access control layer playing a crucial role in providing efficient communication. Read more
Audio for Virtual and Augmented Reality
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Recent developments in low cost VR displays have led to a resurgence of research into binaural 3-D audio. Whilst a good 3-D audio experience can be given using the state of the art technologies, there are still many problems to be solved. Read more
Real-time Networked based Musical Interaction in virtual immersive environments
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
There is a high demand for making and consuming live music over networked based systems. Virtual recording studios, performance venues and rehearsal spaces are within our technological grasp, bridging gaming technologies, low latency networking and immersive audio strategies. Read more
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
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
Exploitation of Full-Duplex Capability in Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks at the Medium Access Control Layer
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Full-duplex has the potential to double the capacity of point-to-point communication links, but these benefits can only be fully realised in communication networks through development of a suitable medium access control layer. Read more
Energy-harvesting based MAC protocols for Wireless Sensor Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
A plethora of energy-efficient MAC protocols have been developed for wireless sensor networks based on the assumption of readily available (if somewhat limited) battery power. Read more
Computational neuroscience: Statistical signal processing for multivariate neuronal data, Neural computing with Spiking neural networks.
Research Group:
Healthcare Engineering
How does the human brain work? As you read this text, the pixels on your screen are converted into a series of spike trains passing along the neural pathways in your brain, allowing you to understand the content. Read more
Automated probabilistic programming and learning methods for robotic behaviours in an uncertain and changing world
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Robotics
Nearly all programmable computing systems are based by design on exact logic, under the assumption of a "perfect" mathematical world. Read more
Application of Satellite Medium Access Control Principles to Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Acoustic waves are widely accepted as the most suitable means of communicating underwater, since radio waves suffer from severe attenuation through water. Read more
