1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Quantum-state resolved molecule-surface collisions
Summary of PhD Program:
The complex interference pattern measured in a Magnetic Molecular Interferometry (MMI) experiment is one of the most sensitive observables of the interaction between a molecule and a solid surface, containing detailed information on the change of the rotational wave function during the collision event. The student will be working on a new EPSRC project ( EP/X037886/1 ) which aims to extract the molecule-surface interaction potential directly from the experimental data. Currently such potentials can only be calculated, calculations which involve major approximations leading to restricted accuracy and significant uncertainty.
Application Deadline: 26 January 2024
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemistry
Summary of PhD Program:
The completion of this PhD will involve the development of expertise relevant to academic and industrial research including clean room skills, materials processing and characterization techniques, standard and novel optical and magnetic spectroscopies including: ultrafast time-resolved photoluminescence, transient absorption, electron spin resonance and magneto-optical studies. We have an international outlook for which the candidate will be given opportunities to lead new research directions with collaborators within and beyond the UK to make advances beyond the current state of the art in functional photo-spin materials.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Applicants are invited for a fully funded 3-year PhD studentship to explore the complex flow behaviour of glacial sediments. You will join a multidisciplinary team on a project that is a collaboration between the Glaciology and Complex Fluids Research Groups at Swansea University. Glacial sediments have widely varying flow (rheological) properties that influence the dynamics of the overlying glacier. With ongoing, alarming changes to the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, there is an urgent need to develop accurate glacial sediment models that can help predict future ice loss and sea-level change.

6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Chemical Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
Cells are living systems highly sensible to changes to the local environment, meaning that a change of temperature, pH or other properties can result in the cell changing its morphology and overall behaviour. In this project, the successful candidate will employ such cell behaviour to design, fabricate and test microfluidic fibres containing cells; such structures will act as “living sensor”, providing a physical response to a variety of external stimuli such as drug administration, electric signal, mechanical stimuli, and temperature gradients. The impact of this project stems in anticipated applications in diagnostic healthcare and drug development.
Application Deadline: 26 January 2024

9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerospace Engineering
Summary of PhD Program:
This PhD project seeks to advance the development of integrated multiscale simulation tools for fibre-reinforced composite materials, especially the carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP). CFRP composites have gained prominence in industries such as aerospace and automotive due to their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and highly flexible designability. Recently, the development of 3D printing technology has also enabled the additive manufacturing of CFRP composites. However, optimising the design and analysis of CFRP structures requires a deep understanding of their complex multiscale behaviour and intricated computational models.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematics
Summary of PhD Program:
In this project, different optimal control problems will be considered under a contagious financial and insurance market with regime switching and risk uncertainty. In the first chapter, an optimal portfolio choice and life consumption problem will be studied under a fragile financial market with regime switching and risk uncertainty, where the transition matrix is no longer constant but depends on historical paths of financial assets in that market.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mathematics
Summary of PhD Program:
A famous problem in probability, information theory and theoretical computer science is the following: A long message over a finite alphabet is sent via an information channel. Now suppose that the message that arrives at the receiver is not the original one, but a randomly corrupted version. Suppose further that the receiver knows the random mechanism corrupting the message. Now the question is: Can the receiver recover the original message?

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Human-Computer Interaction, Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
Many industries are relocating workers from hazardous environments to supervisory rooms, where they need to engage with automated systems to perform their work. A critical challenge in human-automated systems interaction lies in effectively managing human factors such as cognitive load (CL) and emotions such as stress to ensure optimal task execution. However, currently, measuring CL involves bulky, expensive techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging and magnetoencephalography, limiting their practicality.

Application Deadline: 12 January 2024
19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer vision, artificial intelligence
Summary of PhD Program:
Video instance segmentation aims at simultaneous detection, segmentation and tracking of object instances in videos. Given a test video, the task requires not only the masks of all instances of a predefined category set to be labelled but also the instance identities across frames to be associated. Existing methods follow a detection and association paradigm, which essentially performs spatial priors’ estimation and a temporal stitching afterwards. This may hinder VIS in the occlusion and long-term videos.
Application Deadline: 28 February 2024
20. Fully Funded PhD Position in Computer Science / Machine Learning
Summary of PhD Program:
This project represents a new approach to map dynamical interactions in networks of human cardiac cells. Network dyssynchronisation is a fundamental event in the catastrophic breakdown of heart rhythm but we do not know the causative events that lead to the failure of cell-to-cell interactions. Moving beyond vague observational descriptions of network behaviours this project will implement a new system to precisely quantify time-resolved information on cell-to-cell interactions.
Application Deadline: 26 February 2024
