PhD Opportunities in High Performance Computing

This PhD project investigates whether artificial intelligence can understand, rather than simply predict, complex engineering dynamical systems. The research will combine deep learning with the mathematics of nonlinear dynamics to uncover hidden low-dimensional structures underlying vibrations, flutter, instabilities, multiple stable states, internal resonances and sudden bifurcations in aerospace systems. Working within the University of Southampton’s Computational Engineering and Design group,...

[Fees plus a stipend of £21,805 per annum for 2026/7.] PhD Studentship at the University of Exeter focused on advancing multi-mission satellite radar methods for monitoring permafrost degradation and erosion in a changing Arctic. This project addresses a major environmental monitoring challenge: Arctic permafrost thaw is driving ground deformation, instability, and erosion across remote regions where in situ observations are limited. The PhD will develop a new multi-mission InSAR framework that ...
