Proposal for evaluating Oxfordshire Active Travel intervention (PHIRST Insight)
Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) have implemented a programme of interventions to encourage active travel. These interventions include infrastructure improvements, schools- and fam...
Investigating synaptic plasticity and chronobiology underlying memory consolidation
Memory consolidation, the process by which novel experiences are gradually transformed into stable memories, is a fundamental neurobiological phenomenon. Current models suggest tha...
A High-Fidelity Phantom for Pelvic Floor Examination Training and Device Testing
This project aims to develop an affordable soft robotic phantom for the purpose of PF clinician/ physiotherapist training and demonstration to patients as well as for PF device t...
Acoustic metamaterials applied to biomedical ultrasound
Metamaterials are materials which have been engineered to have extraordinary properties. They are constructed from repeated structures that are smaller than the wavelength they are...
Gas Ultrasonic Flow Metering
This project will consider all aspects of the measurement system design and implementation: from ultrasonic transducer design; placement of the transducers within the measurement s...
Water Ultrasonic Flow Metering
To engineer ultrasonic transducers (or devices incorporating ultrasonic transducers), able to simultaneously capture multiple high quality data streams, across pressure, temperatur...
AI-driven Design of Analog Integrated Circuits for Ultrasound Applications
The analog front end is essential in most ultrasonic hardware systems, which is widely used in communications, industrial inspection, medical diagnosis, robotically enhanced sensin...
Personalised pulsed-ultrasound to promote bone fracture healing
This project will make use of our established in vitro experimental systems and state of the art laser Doppler vibrometry to investigate the micro-motion and nano-displacements ind...
Investigating the Rotation of Sunspots with the Solar Dynamics Observatory
The aim of this project is to investigate the rotation of sunspots in the solar surface. These rotations, which can last for 10s of days, are an observable consequence of the trans...
Project title: Targeting autophagy and aberrant mitochondrial folate metabolism in leukemic stem cells
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease consisting of a small number of cancer-causing leukemic stem cells (LSCs) and a variety of mature progenitors. LSCs r...
3D mapping using event cameras
Optical cameras have been very successfully used for 3D vision and robotic navigation in texture rich environments and good visibility conditions. However, they have strong limitat...
Sensor-Enabled Robotised Plasma Arc Cutting System
The PhD research focuses on developing a sensor-enabled robotised plasma arc cutting system. The project aims to optimize the plasma cutting systems for weld joint preparation, rep...
Characterising energy demand profiles for future low-carbon homes
The UK is currently faced with extremely challenging targets for decarbonising our homes, with a particular emphasis on forms of low-carbon heating. For both new build and retrofit...
Flow diagnostics for (fractured) geothermal reservoirs
Static and dynamic reservoir modelling are common to predict resource potentials and flow behaviours in geological reservoirs. However, existing reservoir modelling workflows often...
Robots for Community Urban Agriculture
This project will work towards the development of a robotic solution to assist urban communities with growing their own produce. Project aims and key questions: 1. User attitu...
Verbal and non-verbal communication in human-aware navigation
This project will investigate the use of verbal communication to aid the negotiation and to increase the comfort and feeling of safety of the interaction partner(s). The final outc...
Robust Scene Perception for Drones in Degraded Visual Environments
To robustly perceive the environment under low-visibility, this project will explore a novel scene perception system designed for drones. The new system would feature a set of emer...
Socially Assistive Robot Support to Aid Recovery After Critical Illness
This PhD will develop robot pilots that aim to support patients who are rehabilitating after a critical illness. They will work with their supervisor at HWU and pilot in the assist...
Investigating the distribution and exchange of agroecological products in south India
This project will investigate how agroecological actors envision and implement the integration of agroecological farmers into agricultural markets through a case study of the Zero...
Identifying therapeutic targets that could transform Rheumatoid Arthritis from disease remission into cure
Studentship strategic priority area: Basic and Clinical Research Background. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune disease that disables joints (synovitis) and...
