I am currently accepting applications for PhDs in the areas above. For potential PhD projects please see examples in this page in the areas of HiP-HOPS, Machines Designing Machines, 3D User Interfaces, and Digital & Generative Art and in the area of Dependable AI. The key requirements for PhD applicants are a good degree, strong software engineering skills, and an exploratory mind. Much of the work has extensive industrial applicability and is done in collaboration with large industrial organisations which are technology leaders in their field. Despite the many applications of this work in the engineering of technologically advanced systems, such as electric and semi-autonomous cars, the work involved in those PhD projects does not require any knowledge of these engineering domains and is mainly focused on computer science, and the development and implementation of novel algorithms and tools using standard computer equipment and programming environments. Please contact me if you are interested in a PhD.
