The start date is October 2026. We recommend that you apply early as the advert may be removed before the deadline. The modelling of laser-material interactions is a complex multi-physics problem, very computationally intensive and often relies on detailed and expensive characterisation of the material's thermo-physical properties. This makes this type of analysis inaccessible for industrial applications that can require a wide range of modelling parameters, over large spatial and temporal spaces and where inputs are stochastic in nature. This is exacerbated in industrial applications that may include metals,...

Research themes: Cyber Security, AI, Decentralized Systems, Applied Cryptography UK students This 3.5-year PhD studentship is open to Home (UK) applicants. The successful candidate will receive an annual tax-free stipend set at the UKRI rate (£20,780 for 2025/26; subject to annual uplift), and tuition fees will be paid. We expect the stipend to increase each year. We recommend that you apply early as the advert will be removed once the position has been filled. As AI systems scale, privacy, security, and trustworthiness emerge as challenges. For instance, private data may be leaked during model training, and interactions among autonomous entities can lead to vulnerabilities. These concerns are amplified in decentralized AI and multi-agent systems, when multiple parties (e.g., human or agent) might interact without full trust in a centralized party. This research project aims to develop cryptographic solutions and frameworks that secure AI systems, particularly in decentralized and...
