Sensor networks, sensor fusion and management techniques address key challenges in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR). Opportunities in adaptive data-driven sensor tasking and resource management include adaptive sensor placement, adaptive waveform design to reflect the target reflection characteristics and channel...

A major challenge for defence & security laser systems is managing the heat generated and differential thermal expansion of the different components in the system. A compounding challenge is the vast range of ambient temperatures in which these systems need to operate without thermal distortion. However, additive manufacturing gives the unique opportunity to...

A wide spectrum of target thermoplastic materials can be manufactured by tailoring polymer blends to achieve particular combinations of end-user performance (e.g. mechanical, electrical, structural support) properties, important in various industrial sectors, especially in extreme-condition environments. These polymeric material classes include the widely...

Summary: This research proposal addresses challenges in the UK's construction industry, focusing on sustainability & safety. It aims to develop machine learning models that combine data from similar infrastructure and integrate information from previous inspections to predict potential problems. The models will also account for the impact of changing climate...

Fixed Term Contract - 29 months.Full Time - 35 Hours Per Week.We are looking for a postdoctoral researcher for a full-time, fixed term post for 29 months from September 2024 to work as part of the Edinburgh team on the AHRC/DFG funded project "The syntax of nominal copular clauses: theoretical and empirical perspectives," Principal Investigators: Prof....

Continuum mechanics approaches have been used to model the mechanical behaviour of biological (and active) systems at length scales that are large enough.For example, when analysed at the micron-scale, biological membranes can be treated as continuum objects that deform regulated by effective properties such as curvature mismatch or active forces. Those...

The projections of sea level rise show that UK sea level will continue to rise well beyond 2100, even under scenarios where future temperature rise is stopped. Extreme sea level events are also expected to become more frequent in the future and occurring about 20 to 30 times more frequently by the year 2050, according to Intergovernmental Panel on Climate...

The burgeoning field of synthetic biology offers promising avenues for engineering artificial cells with tailored functionalities for diverse biomedical applications. This PhD project aims to explore novel strategies for designing and constructing synthetic cells capable of performing complex tasks, mimicking natural cellular behaviors, and interfacing with...

Worldwide decentralized water and wastewater systems, including in UK rural areas and Islands, can have a high cost and be unreliable, often failing during treatment. This project is part of the EPSRC Programme Grant "Decentralized Water Technologies", a consortium of several Universities, aiming at accelerating the delivery of sustainable and low-cost...

Principal Supervisor: Istvan GyongyAssistant Supervisor: Alistair GormanProject description Autonomous systems such as self-driving cars are increasingly relying on LIDAR systems for robust environmental perception, with single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) sensors, which detect and time individual photons of light, being one of the key underlying...
