Artificial Intelligence

Poly-Neuromorphic AI for Robust Biomonitoring

Anglia Ruskin University ARU

About the Project This PhD project is built on a multidisciplinary collaborative project between Anglia Ruskin University and Arm Ltd. This is for a full-time PhD, starting in the 2026/7 academic year (January 2027). This project will investigate the convergence of Edge AI and Neuromorphic Computing to enable adaptive, low-power learning systems. Poly-neuromorphic AI refers to a multi-architecture framework combining spiking neural networks and adaptive learning modules.

Animal Welfare

Tightening the Science: A Comprehensive Study on Girth Tension, Saddle Pressures, and Horse Performance

Anglia Ruskin University ARU

About the Project Proposed supervisory team Prof Roberta Blake Dr David Marlin Dr Nnenna Ugwu Theme Equine Summary of the research project The girth is a critical yet understudied component of the saddle system. Poor girth design or inappropriate tension may contribute to uneven saddle pressure distribution, discomfort, impaired performance, and adverse physiological responses in horses.
