The Mathematics for Real-World Systems CDTLink opens in a new window currently has a limited number of fully funded PhD studentships available for students wishing to commence on the PhD by July 2024 at the latest.

Two PhD scholarships are available in the interdisciplinary research programme led by Prof Yulia Timofeeva (Department of Computer Science, Warwick) and Prof Kirill Volynski (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology, London). Successful candidates will join the PhD programme in Computer Science at Warwick, engaging in close collaboration with the Faculty of Brain Sciences at UCL.

Human activity recognition (HAR) is a compelling topic in the fields of ubiquitous computing, with numerous applications including human behaviour understanding, smart healthcare, human-computer-interaction (HCI), and more. Among various sensing technologies, Radio Frequency (RF) signals such as WiFi can be applied in a less intrusive manner, offering significant potential in smart home environments. However, due to multipath propagation, WiFi signals often contain a high level of noise from physical environments that need to suppressed before developing HAR models.
