Machine Learning for Multi-Messenger Astronomy with Gravitational Waves

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Gravitational waves (GWs) are produced by some of the most violent events in the Universe, such as the mergers of black holes and the explosive deaths of massive stars. Read more

Supervisors: Prof P Sutton, Dr V Raymond, Prof S Fairhurst

Year round applications PhD Research Project Self-Funded PhD Students Only

Exploring close binary stars: Using nonlinear time series analysis and machine learning for analysing stellar light curves.

Aberdeen University School of Natural and Computing Sciences

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Machine learning for studying supernovae

Royal Holloway, University of London Department of Physics

Supernovae are the explosive deaths of certain types of star at the ends of their lives. They play an important role in the Universe, being the key distributors of heavy elements. Read more

Revealing the Hidden Light: Understanding the cosmic dust and cold gas in nearby galaxies.

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Over half the light ever emitted by stars in the Universe having been absorbed by cosmic dust, and the situation is worse (>90%) when looking at regions where star-formation is occurring. Read more

Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Cardiff University Cardiff School of Physics and Astronomy

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters.
