Unified Power Micro-grid Optimisation Strategies for Data Centres (UPMOST)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is powerful. But it depends on data centres who shouldn’t be too much power-hungry. Did you know a single large-scale data centre consumes as much energy as 50,000 households? If you think that’s a problem worth solving, we want you for our PhD program. Read more

Agentic AI for Autonomous Things: Vision-Language-Action Models, Embodied Intelligence and Real-World Decision-Making

Artificial intelligence is moving beyond passive prediction towards systems that can reason, plan, interact and act. This shift is driving rapid progress in agentic AI - i.e., AI systems that can interpret goals, make decisions, use tools, coordinate with humans and operate in changing real-world environments.
