Project title: Challenging Deepfake Voices Supervisory Team: Dr. Jennifer Williams (primary), Prof Richard Guest (secondary)Project description:Fake and synthetic media are becoming a well-known issue in society, from AI regulation and AI safety to protecting democracy from election interference. This exciting PhD project investigates two technical aspects...

Supervisory Team: Chris-Kriton Skylaris (80%) Jeremy Frey (20%)Project description:Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations are typically limited to tens of atoms due to the steep increase of the computational effort with the number of atoms. Recent developments have led to "linear-scaling" reformulations of DFT which allow calculations with thousands of...

Supervisory Team: Benjamin CameronProject descriptionThis PhD is focussed on a new theoretical/computational method to measure material properties in places where they are really difficult to measure: e.g. in a shock wave, in a shear band, or at a crack tip. These are all of critical importance in many engineering problems such as car crashes, manufacturing...
