11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Discrete and continuous integrable systems
Summary of PhD Program:
The goal of this project is to develop connections between discrete and continuous integrable systems, particularly those for which the underlying structure is a “Lax pair”. A Lax pair can be thought of as a system of linear equations, which are compatible if and only if an additional condition is satisfied. If we can write a given nonlinear differential (or difference) equation as the compatibility condition of a Lax pair, that provides it with sufficient structure to make it an integrable system. In this project we will explore algorithmic approaches to turn discrete Lax pairs into continuous ones.
Application Deadline: 23 June 2024

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Automated High Throughput Machine Learning-guided Condition Optimisation for Biocatalysis
Summary of PhD Program:
To achieve net zero in chemicals synthesis and production, low energy approaches are critical. Here, biocatalysis provides not just a low-energy solution, but one which can also be highly selective, important in the production of high purity chiral materials such as pharmaceuticals. Use of biocatalysis at scale has been limited, however, due to the need to optimise low concentrations and slow rates of otherwise promising candidates.
Application Deadline: 28 June 2024
16. Fully Funded PhD Position in Athermal photonic devices for absolute distance measurement
Summary of PhD Program:
High-precision range metrology is fundamental for precision manufacturing in aerospace, robotics, automation, and high-value manufacturing with computer-controlled machinery. The application of frequency scanning interferometry (FSI) to long-range (>1 m) high-speed (100,000 coordinates per second) absolute distance measurement is currently impractical at reasonable cost. This is due to the extremely high modulation frequencies (typically 100 GHz or more) that require expensive data acquisition boards. Dr Ruiz’s lab at Loughborough University proposed a solution based on adaptive delay lines (ADL) that can reduce the required signal sampling rate by orders of magnitude, thus paving the way for the use of fast sweeping sources such as vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers.
