Artificial Intelligence

PhD Studentship - Vision Language Models for Micro-Expression Analysis

Manchester Metropolitan University

Micro-expressions are tiny, involuntary facial movements that can occur when a person tries to hide an emotion, but are difficult to analyse because they are subtle, short-lived, and easily confused with ordinary facial movement. While many methods have been developed to recognise and localise micro-expressions, these results remain difficult to understand.

Computational Engineering

PhD Studentship: Development of Innovative and Efficient Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulator based on Physics-Informed Neural Networks

Manchester Metropolitan University

Despite significant advances in numerical techniques and computing hardware, the high computational cost of large-scale 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling remains a major challenge. A new approach has emerged that integrates data and mathematical models through neural networks. This has led to the development of a method for solving partial differential equations (PDEs) known as physics-informed neural networks (PINNs).

Sport and Exercise Science

PhD Studentship - Nutrition Support through Embedded Research: A Vehicle for Improving Health, Performance and Culture at GB Taekwondo

Manchester Metropolitan University

This three-year full-time PhD project will explore nutrition in Taekwondo, a weight-category combat sport where the way athletes fuel, recover and manage weight affects both performance and long-term health. This project is a partnership between Manchester Metropolitan University’s Faculty of Health and Education and GB Taekwondo, offering the chance to shape nutrition practice in a high-performance Olympic programme ahead of Los Angeles 2028 and beyond.
