Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
This project will investigate, select and apply appropriate machine learning and data science and mining techniques for the classification and prediction of risks or indicators associated with obesity.
Examples of relevant obesity related analysis include the prediction of weight gain, diet and physical activities based on recent trends and/or on combinations of biological, behavioural and environmental factors.
This research project will contribute to the ongoing collaboration between the School of Computing, Creative Technologies and Engineering and MoreLife, at Leeds Beckett University.
You should have:
- A good first degree in computer science, software engineering, computer engineering or other numerate discipline e.g. electronic engineering with a significant computer programming content or MSc in computer science / artificial intelligence.
- Good scientific programming skills (e.g. C++, Python and/or Matlab).
- Some familiarity with Artificial Intelligence and Data Mining, especially machine learning techniques.
- A positive attitude towards working as part of a collaborative research project.
