PhD Studentship: Electromagnetic Sensing for High-Temperature Microstructural Evolution
- Coventry, United Kingdom
- WMG
This PhD redefines electromagnetic sensing by moving beyond magnetic permeability-dominated approaches to establish a conductivity-driven eddy-current framework for tracking microstructural evolution at high temperature. The transition towards smarter, lower-carbon manufacturing demands new ways to understand and monitor how materials evolve during processing. This PhD project addresses a fundamental and timely challenge in electromagnetic (EM) sensing: how to quantitatively link electrical conductivity–dominated eddy current responses to microstructural evolution during high-temperature proce

PhD Studentship: Designing Human-AI Teams for Meaningful Human Control of 'Machine-Speed' Operations
- Birmingham, United Kingdom
- School of Computer Science
The Centre for National Training and Research Excellence in Understanding Behaviour (Centre-UB) is inviting applications for a Doctoral Studentship in association with BAE Systems, to start from 4 January 2027. This PhD explores the design of human-AI teams when the AI agents operate at ‘machine-speed’ (i.e., significantly faster than human cognitive and communication capabilities). The research will be applicable to command teams working in uncertain and information-degraded environments. Meaningful human control is necessary when humans have to be retained in or on the loop. This requires th

PhD Studentship: Machine Learning and Computational Modelling to Define the Abnormal Heart Tissue Responsible for Fatal Heart Rhythms
- Coventry, United Kingdom
- Warwick Medical School
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) accounts for approximately 15-20% of reported deaths in the UK. Mostly, these deaths are linked to cardiac arrhythmias. One of the most common and dangerous is Ventricular Tachycardia (VT), a rapid and unstable heart rhythm that often arises from regions of diseased or scarred heart tissue. VT can lead directly to sudden cardiac death if not treated immediately. VT can be treated with a procedure called ‘catheter ablation’, which significantly reduces VT recurrence rates, reduces hospitalisations, and improves survival compared with medication alone. The goal of VT

Fully Funded PhD Studentship: Microstructure and Defect Control in Recycled Aluminium Alloys
- Falmer, United Kingdom
- School of Engineering and Informatics
Project description The transition to a circular economy requires much greater use of recycled aluminium. However, wider adoption of secondary aluminium alloys remains limited by impurity-related microstructural defects and reduced casting reliability. Among these impurities, iron (Fe) is particularly problematic as it promotes the formation of Fe-rich intermetallic compounds, which can impair castability and reduce performance. At the same time, recycled alloys are often more susceptible to solidification defects during processing. This PhD project will investigate the interplay between grain
PhD Studentship: Development of Innovative and Efficient Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulator based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks
- Manchester, United Kingdom
Despite significant advances in numerical techniques and computing hardware, the high computational cost of large-scale 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling remains a major challenge. A new approach has emerged that integrates data and mathematical models through neural networks. This has led to the development of a method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) known as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs). However, these approaches are still in their early stages of development and have yet to demonstrate their effectiveness for complex real engineering problems. Thi
