1. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Ubiquitous Cognitive Navigation with AI Based Systems
Summary of PhD Project
This PhD project aims to develop resilient Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) systems for autonomous transport, addressing a critical challenge in the UK’s Net Zero transition. Current satellite dependent navigation remains vulnerable to interference, jamming and signal degradation, causing serious problems for safe and efficient transport. By integrating artificial intelligence (AI), multi-sensor fusion, and cognitive systems, the research will pioneer robust navigation architectures. These improvements are key to making future transport systems safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.

4. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Extreme learning to handle ‘Big Data’
Summary of PhD Project
As aerospace platforms go through their service life, gradual performance degradations and unwarranted system failures can occur. There is certain physical information known a priori in such aerospace platform operations. The main research hypothesis to be tested in this research is that it should be possible to significantly improve the performance of extreme learning and assure safe and reliable maintenance operation by integrating this prior knowledge into the learning mechanism.

5. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Experimental and Numerical Study of Parameters Affecting the Wake Dynamics of a Simplified Car: Effects of Roughness – Turbulence – Yaw Angle
Summary of PhD Project
Air quality has become a major concern for public health as it causes respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, and premature deaths. Air pollutants can be gaseous or solid particles (also referred as particulate matter). The impact of pollutants not only depend on the emitted quantity but also on other factors such as the proximity to sources and the dispersion conditions. The automotive sector makes a significant contribution to local air pollution and exposes the population to dangerous levels of pollutants. To reduce pollutant emissions, the automotive sector focused on reducing fuel consumption by decreasing the vehicle drag.

6. Fully Funded PhD Programs in Enhancing Water Treatment using Robotic Tools for Filter Maintenance
Summary of PhD Project
Drinking water production is under mounting pressure to reduce both energy demand and chemical consumption. Project SandSCAPE, an Ofwat-funded programme, tackles this challenge by integrating purpose-built robots that skim slow sand filter beds while they remain flooded. Because slow sand filtration already supplies most of London’s tap water with minimal chemical input, refining it through robotics offers a practical route to low-carbon, nature-based treatment that safeguards microbiological quality and boosts resilience to climate uncertainty.
