3. Fully Funded PhD Position in A multimodal fine-funded foundation model to support precision medicine of mesothelioma

Summary of PhD Program:

Mesothelioma is a lethal cancer caused by asbestos, with less than 10% surviving more than 5 years. Precision medicine although feasible [1], is in its infancy [2]. New approaches to personalise therapy are needed to ensure patients acquire the best chance of clinical benefit, avoiding futile and potentially toxic therapy. Identifying patients who are likely to respond to a given treatment is challenging, often requiring complex multiomic interrogation. A foundation model (FM) is a large scale machine learning model, trained on vast and diverse datasets, that can be adapted to conduct specialised tasks through fine tuning using multimodal data, including the possibility of robust prediction of drug response from routine haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) slides used in routine diagnosis.

4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Telomere length and vascular disease, investigating the role of gene expression through Machine Learning

Summary of PhD Program:

Telomeres are protein bound tandem hexamer DNA repeats which are protective structures at the end of chromosomes. The length of the telomere sequence declines with progressive cellular division. Telomere length (TL) is therefore reflective of cellular age and is also seen to decline with increasing age in humans. In addition, TL shows wide inter-individual variation at any age throughout the life course and is a heritable trait. Originally considered a potential marker of biological ageing that could potentially explain part of the inter-individual variance in age-related disease risk, TL has been associated with an increased risk of several vascular diseases including abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)1 and coronary artery disease (CAD)2,3.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Mechanics of Creases in Thin Sheets

Summary of PhD Program:

Creases are localised regions of high curvature formed by irreversible (plastic) deformation when a thin sheet, such as paper, is folded and compressed. Due to their highly anisotropic bending stiffness, the presence of creases significantly modifies the large-scale mechanical behaviour of a sheet. The soft, hinge-like response of creases under planar bending (i.e., with the bending axis parallel to the crease line) provides predictable loading pathways for thin-sheet origami and deployable structures. Meanwhile, their high rigidity to out-of-plane bending means that creasing is a viable technique to create lightweight but stiff structures, similar to the corrugations seen in roof panels and packaging materials.

10. Fully Funded PhD Position in Stress modulated antiferromagnetism in a BiFeO3-based thin film

Summary of PhD Program:

In the challenge to develop new, high density logic and memory devices, the concept of employing electron spin transport as the data vector (i.e. spintronics) is of great interest due to the potential for very low energy consumption devices. Antiferromagnetic materials play a pivotal role in many current and envisioned spintronic devices through the phenomenon of magnetic exchange bias at the interface between a ferromagnet and an antiferromagnet. This phenomenon allows such heterostuctures to act as spin-valves to control the conduction of electrons according to their spin. The ability to modulate the exchange bias, for example by switching the antiferromagnetism on and off, would be a valuable concept in spintronic device design.

13. Fully Funded PhD Position in Algorithms and complexity

Summary of PhD Program:

The Algorithms group at the University of Leeds (UK) is offering a fully funded 3.5-year PhD studentship on Parameterized Complexity and Approximation. Parameterized Complexity is a vastly growing area within theoretical computer science that allows for the development of exact and approximation algorithms for computationally hard problems by exploiting the structure of inputs and doing a multivariate complexity analysis. The goal of this project is to develop more efficient parameterized approximation algorithms and preprocessing algorithms (also known as kernelization) for a wide range of NP-hard graph problems.

14. Fully Funded PhD Position in Data-parallel data structures

Summary of PhD Program:

As a result of increased core count both on Intel Xeon Phi and nVidia Tesla platforms, global interest in SMP (shared memory parallelism) and SIMD (single instruction multiple data) computations has rekindled. For complex computations, however, development of data structures and algorithms has lagged behind serial methods. The goal of this PhD is therefore to build systematically towards data structures, tools and libraries that effectively exploit the massive parallelism now available.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Water-accelerated Reaction Discovery In Silico

Summary of PhD Program:

On water reactions are a class of organic reaction which can be performed in aqueous media. The organic compounds do not dissolve in water, but form droplet. These reactions are typically accelerated up to hundred of times compared to reactions in organic solvents. Thus, on water processes epitomise green chemistry, avoiding the need for hazardous organic solvents while delivering enhanced productivity and simple purification of the products. However, the range of known on water reactions is limited, which hinders their wider application in sustainable industrial processes.

16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Spectral geometry

Summary of PhD Program:

Spectral geometry lies at the intersection of differential geometry, partial differential equations, and analysis. To a large extent it is motivated by questions originating in the study of real-life phenomena, such as vibration, heat propagation, oscillation of fluids, and quantum mechanical effects. For example a model question, posed by Mark Kac half a century ago is, Can one hear the shape of a drum? The challenge is to understand the geometry of an idealized drum from the set of its vibration frequencies, that is the Laplace eigenvalues. The question Kac poses is closely linked to other topics in spectral geometry, including shape optimization, spectral asymptotics, and spectral invariants.

17. Fully Funded PhD Position in Optimisation Algorithms for Distributed Computing

Summary of PhD Program:

Optimisation algorithms for task offloading in Edge computing should perform decision making for a combined, Edge-Cloud system. In a typical scenario, users submit tasks to Edge servers. Some tasks can be processed by the Edge, which capacity is limited, and the results are then returned back to users. Remaining tasks are moved to the Cloud, with abundant capacity and typically with faster servers, but there are additional costs and time incurred by data transfer. Thus, a number of a challenging optimsation problems arise aimed at finding solutions which minimise task completion times, computation and data transfer costs, and maximise the system throughput rate.

18. Fully Funded PhD Position in Hydrogen Energy Application and Safety Consideration

Summary of PhD Program:

Hydrogen gas has the potential to play a key role in the future of green energy. Carbon-free energy is essentially required to reduce the greenhouse gases (GHG). These emissions are the main reason for the climate change. Therefore, employing hydrogen in domestic and industrial purposes is one of the crucial challenges today for decarbonisation. There are many hydrogen and hybrid projects to reduce or eliminate CO2 gases. In addition, there is no difficulties in igniting hydrogen as it also burns with wide range of mixtures compared to other fuels.

19. Fully Funded PhD Position in Strain control of ferrimagnets

Summary of PhD Program:

Magnetic random access memory (MRAM) using electrical current to switch magnetic layers has been on the market for a few years. It has the potential to replace much of the memory hierarchy in computer architectures but the device footprint and energy consumption are still too large to be competitive. To address the latter, there are several ongoing investigations into the use of electric field to manipulate nanomagnets, either by directly applying a gate voltage or indirectly via piezoelectric strain.
