Sustainable food production: Using statistical modelling to assess the impact of climate on yield production across multiple harvests of an agricultural ecosystems

Caroline Brophy (email | all projects)

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. An agricultural experiment was carried out across multiple sites in Europe. At each site, species diversity was manipulated agronomic grassland plots, and the yield was recorded across multiple harvests. The climatic conditions vary considerably across the sites where the experiments were … Read more

A comparison of statistical methods used to model the effect of species diversity in agricultural ecosystems

Caroline Brophy (email | all projects)

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. Increasing the number of species sown in an agricultural grassland system provides a potential way to improve the sustainability of the overall system. Experiments designed to test this typically have species diversity manipulated across field-scale plots, with a plot-level response such … Read more

Statistics in Business Analytics

georgiaa (email | all projects)

This project is particularly for the Students in Statistics and Sustainability. The interested Student should check the paper: Establishing the link: Does web traffic from various marketing channels influence direct traffic source purchases? | Marketing Letters (springer.com) and get in touch with me for discussing on this and similar projects.

Modelling number of species

swilson (email | all projects)

This project is for the MSc in Statistics and Sustainability. In this project, we’ll look at the various ways in which ecologists have attempted to answer the question ‘How many species are there?’. Some of these methods are statistical, and we’ll focus on those, but we’ll also take a look at some of the other … Read more

Cartoon pose perception using eye-tracking

Rachel McDonnell (email | all projects)

[MSc Level] We will collaborate with award-winning animation studio Cartoon Saloon to investigate perception of pose for stylized cartoon characters, such as those used in their films. Cartoon characters are often drawn to defy the laws of physics, and there is little known about perception of these characters – what makes a cartoon pose similar … Read more

Sorting Networks with Vector Instructions [Available]

David Gregg (email | all projects)

A sorting network is a notional model of a hardware circuit that can sort a fixed number of inputs. Sorting networks are made up of hardware comparator units connected together by a fixed network of wires so that the outputs of one comparator can become an input to another. Sorting networks can be implemented in … Read more

Decoding music enjoyment from eye and pupil dynamics (taken)

Giovanni Di Liberto (email | all projects)

Music is central in our society. However, the neural mechanisms leading to the enjoyment of music remain unclear. This project is part of a bigger investigation with multimodal data. One dimension of that data involves eye and pupil dynamics, which are known to reflect neural activity relevant to sound perception. Here, you will analyse eye/pupil … Read more

Individualised project in Wireless networking, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing (and associated application domains)

Meriel Huggard (email | all projects)

I am happy to supervise a project in all the areas of computer networking that I am interested in — wireless networking, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence and in their application to a wide range of real world settings (healthcare, IoT, structural health monitoring). I am particularly interested in exploring some aspects of quantum computing; for … Read more
