1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Investigating the Neurocognitive Mechanisms Underlying the Benefits of Classroom Exercise Breaks in School-Age Children
Summary of PhD Program:
The present proposal aims to address the urgency of undercovering the underlying mechanisms by which CEB might improve cognitive performance in school-age children by using an interdisciplinary approach. The novelty of using a portable neuroimaging device (i.e., fNIRS) can be a significant advantage as it can be used in school settings compared to other traditional methods, often requiring lab visits (EEG/fMRI). Given this, we aim to advance the field by revealing underlying mechanisms of the ultimate benefit of CEB for children’s executive function.

2. Fully Funded PhD Position in A Game-based Approach to Democratic Discourse in Digital Media
Summary of PhD Program:
The project aims to investigate citizens’ experiences of political and democratic expression as enacted in digital platforms through gameful interventions. Managing the impact of digital spaces on democracy presents an increasingly substantial challenge. The integration of digital platforms into the political landscape is fundamentally reshaping the ways in which young creatives such as artists and content creators communicate, express themselves, engage in political discourse, access information, and participate in democratic processes (e.g. Rasmussen et al., 2016). While these platforms can foster democratic values by providing spaces for dialogue and civic engagement, they also pose substantial risks that can undermine democratic integrity (e.g. Sundberg, 2019).

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Electric Drives System of High Speed Permanent Magnet Motor Control
Summary of PhD Program:
The proposed project aims to address the existing challenges of high speed motor drive system, such as low position detection accuracy, low system stability, and large current harmonics. To achieve that, the project will involve extensive research, including a comprehensive analysis of various inverter/controller topologies and corresponding modulation strategies to determine the most suitable options for the target applications. Additionally, the project will address various motor control strategies to ensure optimal performance by increasing system efficiency and reliability while reducing system complexity.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Experiences of using GenAI in assessment for teaching and learning in Higher Education
Summary of PhD Program:
The rapid maturation of generative artificial intelligence (genAI) platforms such as Chat GPT have the potential to massively disrupt universities and industry, creating a watershed moment for higher education. With many easily available genAI tools now capable of completing common assessment tasks, and with detection tools proving unreliable and unsustainable, the emergence of genAI is causing academics and universities around the world to review the effectiveness of their assessment strategies and their capacity to assure that students achieve the learning outcomes associated with awarded qualifications (Dianova and Schultz, 2023).

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Predicting cognitive performance in ADHD with advanced deep learning and network analysis in functional neuroimaging (Deakin led)
Summary of PhD Program:
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and or impulsivity. The diagnosis is based on subjective report, and as yet there are no objective biomarkers used clinically. In addition to the core symptoms, individuals with ADHD often present with a profile of cognitive deficits, that has been argued to results from lapse of attention. Being able to identify the brain networks and neural signature of an attentional lapse, will not only further our understanding of the neurobiology, but could also be used to monitor and predict cognitive performance, offering potential target for intervention.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Resource allocation in federated learning by jointly considering communication, computation, and data heterogeneity
Summary of PhD Program:
Edge intelligence (EI) has been recognised as a key technology for next-generation wireless networks such as 6G. Driven by the recent success of mobile edge computing, EI pushes computation-intensive artificial intelligence (AI) tasks from the centralised cloud to distributed base stations at the wireless network edge to efficiently utilise the massive data generated by numerous edge devices. However, the large volume of data at edge devices must be properly processed (potentially jointly processed with sensed data from other sensors such as camera and Lidar) via AI algorithms in a swift manner, in order to support applications with ultralow-latency sensing, communication, computation, and control requirements.

7. Fully Funded PhD Position in Bottom-Up Swarm Computing for Workload Placement in Edge-cloud Continuum
Summary of PhD Program:
Recently, there has been an investment in developing swarm intelligence-based algorithms for intelligent bottom-up workload placement. Swarm Intelligence algorithms are nature-inspired algorithms that end up with desired collective behaviour by relying on distributed and simple local rules in decision-making for each involved agent in the systems. This project aims to develop a swarm computing model considering the continuum as a multiagent system consisting of resource and demand agents. he procedure of workload placement is performed by local decisions that involved agents make without relying on a centralised point.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Design and impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education
Summary of PhD Program:
The aim of the study is to facilitate the integration of AI in university teaching and learning, focusing on Higher Education (HE) teachers’ experiences with GenAI technologies. According to the 2023 Government Innovation Strategy (UK Innovation Strategy, 2023), GenAI could revolutionise the way teaching and learning is orchestrated to students leading to seamless, intelligent services that are more tailored to student’s needs.

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Failure cascading modelling in interdependent power-communication cyber-physical networks
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to develop a model to analyse the resilience of interdependent power and communication networks against cascading failures. The research will address the complexities of failure propagation between these two critical infrastructures using a combination of graph-based models, advanced simulation techniques, and statistical AI/ML approaches. This research will contribute to developing new insights into the resilience of interdependent networks, leading to more resilient systems that can anticipate, absorb, and recover from disruptions.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Atlantic Stories, Colonial Legacies and the Bodleian Library, 1650-1800
Summary of PhD Program:
In response, this project proposes a series of case studies from within the Bodleian’s collections 1650-1800, to highlight early modern Atlantic colonial legacies and curatorial practice. Research questions include: what can an archival object or set of objects tell us about colonial activity? How has information about these objects been represented in Bodleian finding aids, both historically and currently? How has that created absences or silences relating to the history of empire?
