Software Engineering

The Applied Software Engineering Research Group (ASERG) at Sheffield Hallam University is recruiting PhD students for three distinct projects starting in October 2025. The projects cover smart ecosystem monitoring for climate adaptation, development of smart and adaptive digital platforms for net zero carbon educational buildings, and creation of a smart-data processing pipeline for quantifying respirable crystalline silica. Supervisors include Carlos Eduardo da Silva, Soumya Basu, Márjory Da Costa-Abreu, and collaborators from engineering and architecture. The group is known for its interdisciplinary research at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and sustainability. Candidates should have a background in computer science, software engineering, architecture, or related fields, and demonstrate interest in the research areas. Funding is available for three PhD scholarships, though specific financial details are not provided. Interested applicants should review the project pages and follow the provided application link for further instructions. The application deadline is October 1, 2025.
