Loughborough University is advertising two self-funded PhD opportunities in the Intelligent Automation Centre under the supervision of Behnaz Sohani (Assistant Professor / Lecturer in Robotics and Automation). Project 1: Intelligent Cardiovascular Digital Twin and Adaptive Control for Clinical and Sport Applications focuses on AI-driven physiological modelling, adaptive cardiovascular digital twins, data-informed health intelligence systems, nonlinear dynamical modelling, machine learning, and a...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Robotic Ultrasonic Drilling for Real-Time, Minimally Invasive Subsurface Damage Characterisation in Degraded Concrete . This project sits at the intersection of robotics , ultrasonic drilling/machining , smart sensing , real-time control , civil engineering , and materials characterisation . The research aims to develop a robotic ultrasonic drilling platform for minimally invasive, high-resolution assessment of subsurface damage in degraded con...

PhD project at the University of Southampton on safety validation and assurance of autonomous navigation systems , with a focus on maritime autonomy and autonomous ships. The research will develop Operational Design Domain (ODD) -based methods to assess whether autonomous navigation systems can operate safely within intended conditions. It will use historical maritime data, scenario-space modelling, and simulation to generate representative, critical, rare, boundary, and degraded scenarios. The ...

PhD project at the University of Southampton on dynamic risk intelligence for safe autonomous shipping . The research focuses on how maritime autonomous surface ships can recognise when changing traffic, weather, visibility, communication, sensor performance, or system capability make continued autonomous operation unsafe. The project will investigate operational envelopes (OEs) and operational design domains (ODDs) as capability boundaries for autonomous ships and their functions. It will devel...
