Citing Dance: Authorship, ownership and acknowledgement in social media dance

The sharing and copying of dance is common on social media, raising important questions about authorship, ownership and acknowledgment.

Understanding of the effect and mechanism of hydrogen on fatigue performance of pipeline welded joints

This PhD project aims to investigate: (a) effect of pressure variations on fatigue performance of high-pressure hydrogen pipelines; (b) the inhibiting effect of oxygen on hydrogen effect on pipeline steel; (c) effect of load frequency on fatigue performance in hydrogen; (d) mechanism of material property degradation under cyclic load leading to predictive models for reducing conservativeness in design and operations.

Trailblazers: The Early Career Researcher and PhD Candidate Partnering Scheme

The scheme provides PhD candidates with an innovative and dynamic intellectual space in which to undertake transformative research, whilst fully supported by a team of experienced supervisors.

Nonequilibrium two-phase flow in disordered media: Memory, hysteresis and energy dissipation

This interdisciplinary project aims to resolve this knowledge gap. To that end, we will develop state-of-the-art computational and experimental methods, in close collaboration with prof. with M. Dentz (IDAEA-CSIC) and J. Ortin (Uni. of Barcelona), including short stays in their laboratories in Barcelona. The project also aims to use the insights gained from the small-scale investigation towards reservoir simulations of carbon geosequestration, in collaboration with the British Geological Survey.

Nonlinear system identification and deep learning for neurodegenerative disease detection

In this PhD project, we aim to develop nonlinear signal processing, systems engineering, and advanced deep learning techniques, including graph neural networks, to capture spatial and temporal features of EEG signals and characterise neurodegenerative diseases.

Long Document Summarisation through Propositional-Level Comprehension

This project aims to develop novel solutions for long text summarisation by extracting and representing the text structure and by modelling the process of text comprehension.

Investigating the effects of secreted microbial metabolites produced under acid conditions on colorectal cancer cell growth

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the three leading killer cancers worldwide and has a low therapeutic index of therapy. The initiation and progression of CRC is modulated by the gut microbiota and metabolites they produce.
