Four PhD Studentships in School of Computing, Engineering & Technology
University of Sunderland
The School of Computing, Engineering & Technology draws together the
disciplines of Computing, Mathematical Sciences, Engineering and
Technology. The school has a strong and growing research profile with
6 EPSRC and more than 10 EU-funded projects and over 100 registered
research students. As a result of its success the School is looking to
recruit 4 students, to take up 4, three year, full-time, PhD
studentships from around 22nd January 2001. There is one studentship in the
area of
Total Productive Maintenance, one studentship in Medical Informatics and
there are two further studentships in the areas of: smart sensors for
distributed control systems, video surveillance, subspace identification
models, advanced databases, web metrics and object orientated testing,
neural modelling of language and information retrieval.
One Studentship in Total Productive Maintenance
A student is required to undertake research in total productive
maintenance in the north-east of England. The student will develop a
audit methodology to determine the extent of TPM implementation in a
range of companies and suggest factors which appear likely to
influence the success of TPM in companies. Please inspect the web site
http://www.cet.sunderland.ac.uk/postgrad/projects.html for further
details of this research project.
One Studentship in Medical Informatics
A student is required to develop novel data mining techniques in the
context of medical information systems. Sponsored by the National
Health Service, and supervised jointly by the University of Sunderland
and Sunderland Royal Infirmary, you will apply novel computational
techniques to improved audit and analysis of information relating to
diabetic, trauma and other health issues. Please inspect the web site
http://www.cet.sunderland.ac.uk/postgrad/projects.html for further
details of this research project.
