PhD position summary/title: Co-operative Positioning without GPS

This project aims to develop techniques that can capitalise on data from multiple platforms to enable those platforms to provide accurate positioning relative to one another and relative to an absolute reference frame. This process is made particularly challenging in situations where GNSS is unavailable when an adversary deliberately attempts to disrupt the use of GNSS. In those settings, it is important to operate in a distributed setting whereby each platform can operate autonomously but also has the ability to capitalise on succinct summaries of other platforms’ data when they are available.

(03) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: Digital twin of heat pumps integrated with thermal energy storage

Electrification of heating supply will have massive impacts on the electricity grid. A highly electrified heating sector may cause large demand transient and peaks/troughs when many heat pumps are switched near-simultaneously, potentially destabilising the operation of networks. Heat supply also has complicated interdependence and interactions with other sectors such as industry and renewable power generation.

This project aims to develop models to quantify the impacts of heat electrification, to develop solutions through demand side management using heat storages, and to quantify the flexibility provided by heat storages and exploit it. Based on the obtained understanding, the project aims to establish a digital twin of an exemplar heating system that integrates heat pumps with thermal energy storage to explore and demonstrate how such flexible heating systems could manage heat demand in response to weather forecasts, and thus minimise their impact on the electricity grid collectively.

PhD position summary/title: FluidGPT-2D – Generative AI for Lightning-Fast Flow Prediction

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a great way to visualise and understand flows… until you need weeks (or months) of solver time to capture every eddy of a wind-farm wake, or the swirling chaos inside an industrial mixing vessel. FluidGPT-1—our proof-of-concept Artificial-Intelligence (AI) surrogate—already proves a different future is possible, but right now it’s limited to small example cases. Your PhD will transform that prototype into FluidGPT-2D, a generative transformer that can take a handful of CFD seed timesteps you run yourself and instantly spin them into the full unsteady flow field.

(10) PhD Degree – Fully Funded

PhD position summary/title: Research on flexible heat pump technology

Challenges persist for heat pump technologies, particularly in the UK. Most of UK homes are connected to the gas grid, relying on gas boilers as the primary heating method. This poses a challenge as most available heat pumps operate at temperatures lower than what is typically required by the existing high-temperature heat emitters, necessitating costly retrofitting. Addressing these challenges requires innovations to enhance the cost-effectiveness of heat pump products, especially those designed for high temperatures.

The newly developed flexible heat pump technology integrates a heat storage into a conventional vapour compression heat pump cycle to recover, store and reuse the waste heat generated by the heat pump operation. As a result, it can achieve energy efficiency than conventional heat pumps.

PhD position summary/title: Rydberg Quantum Sensing Technologies for Resilient Communications

Developing sustainable ICT and future telecommunications systems (e.g., 6G, quantum comms, AI-assist) with a bold focus on resilience has become a key national priority. Congested radio spectrum and coexistence of broadband wireless systems produce interferences and increase the real risk of failing future telecommunication infrastructure. Highly sensitive receivers and the ability to measure weak signals (comparable with noises and interferences) have become a very challenging metrological problem.

Recently, non-invasive Rydberg quantum sensing technology (RQST) has emerged as an enabling paradigm that offers highly sensitive and traceable measurements of RF fields over a wide frequency range and have become a very attractive solution. Different designs are reported but their insight understanding, especially from metrology perspective is still very limited.

Aligned with the EPSRC priority areas in digital futures and quantum technologies, this project is to conduct a comprehensive study on RQST using both theoretical and experimental approaches with the main objectives: 1-Study the RQST and identify the suitable frequency range and achievable sensitivity; 2-Develop state-of-the-art Rydberg quantum sensing testbed, evaluate its measurement accuracy and sensitivity; 3-Apply the RQST for resilient communications and identify its advantages and limitations (e.g., sensitivity, stability, traceability in complex environments); 4-Develop methodologies for characterising resilient communication performance of emerging telecommunication systems in complex electromagnetic environments using the RQST.

PhD position summary/title: Optimising testing and control strategies in the early stages of infectious disease outbreaks

In the early stages of a major disease outbreak, the availability of suitable diagnostic tests is often limited, however, timely interventions are critical for controlling the spread of disease. In this PhD, you will develop mechanistic and statistical models to investigate the effectiveness of various diagnostic test deployment strategies for emerging and zoonotic diseases which are at risk of causing large outbreaks, such as respiratory viruses (Influenza, SARS-CoV-2, Respiratory syncytial virus), vector-borne diseases (Dengue, Tick-borne encephalitis) or viral haemorrhagic fevers (Nipah, Lassa fever and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever). You will investigate the effectiveness of targeting use of tests in different settings, for example in areas of high versus low transmission, or in hospitals versus the community. The optimum strategy for diagnostic test deployment will vary depending on prevalence of disease, the sensitivity and specificity of the tests and the time it takes to receive and act on results. In addition, variation between pathogens, for example, in their mode of transmission, reproduction number and incubation period, will influence which strategy is the most effective in controlling the impact of the outbreak. These insights will inform stockpiling strategies of medical countermeasures for pandemic preparedness and in the event of a major outbreak, can be used and adapted to help inform decision making.
