PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in neuromorphic silicon for non-invasive communication BCIs , with a focus on EEG , brain–computer interfaces , electrical engineering , biomedical engineering , computer science , and machine learning . The project addresses a key bottleneck in EEG-based BCIs: the computing behind decoding. Instead of relying on a laptop or cloud, the research aims to move decoding onto the head using neuromorphic AI hardware. The work includes novel event-based ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in wide-area ocean environmental inference using networks of uncrewed maritime systems . This postgraduate research project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and focuses on how acoustic measurements exchanged between uncrewed underwater and surface vehicles, together with distributed sensors, can be used to infer ocean environmental conditions over large areas. The research spans underwater acoustics , acoustic tomography , ...

PhD project at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences on intelligent and reconfigurable metasurfaces for next-generation optical computing . This research sits at the intersection of physics , electrical engineering , computer science , and materials science . The project explores how engineered nanostructures (metasurfaces) can manipulate light to carry out computation directly in the optical domain, with applications in ultrafast, energy-efficient AI ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in machine learning for large-scale distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) across urban, coastal, and maritime environments. This project focuses on developing computational methods for analysing large, noisy, and difficult-to-label DAS datasets. You will work on machine learning , signal processing , and spatiotemporal data analysis to detect, classify, localise, and separate events in fibre-optic sensing data. Possible research directions include se...
