Machine learning application to fibre sensing in maritime applications – Taken, no longer available

Marco Ruffini (email | all projects)

Project Description: Recent advances in distributed fibre sensing have shown that existing optical fibre cables, originally deployed for telecommunications, can also serve as dense sensor arrays. By sending probe signals through the fibre and analysing the backscattered light, it is possible to extract information about environmental changes such as vibrations, temperature, and strain along the … Read more

Quantum communications protocols for entanglement distribution – Taken, no longer available

Marco Ruffini (email | all projects)

Project Description: The exploration of quantum communication protocols for entanglement distribution is critical to advancing secure and efficient quantum networks. Entanglement, a unique quantum phenomenon, enables instantaneous correlations across vast distances, which is essential for applications like quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum teleportation. In particular, quantum teleportation is an essential feature of quantum networks … Read more

Development of digital twins of optical networks using machine learning – Taken, no longer available

Marco Ruffini (email | all projects)

Project Description: Over the past few years, telecommunications networks have migrated towards concepts of virtualisation and programmability, which has recently also affected the optical layer [1]. This has provided the opportunity to build more intelligent control of optical networks, for example to predict quality of transmission and thus improve overall network utilisation, as transmission channels … Read more

[Taken] Web-Browser and Server for Information-Centric Networking

Stefan Weber (email | all projects)

The current Internet architecture assumes communication based on the identity of hosts e.g. the name/IP address of a webserver in a URL. Individual clients connect to specific servers to retrieve documents and videos. Information-centric networking instead assumes that content is the focus of communication and is uniquely named in networks e.g. a consumer asks a … Read more

[Taken] AI connectivity for Information-Centric Networks

Stefan Weber (email | all projects)

Information-centric networking assumes that content is the focus of communication and is uniquely named in networks e.g. a consumer asks a network for specific content instead of connecting to the IP address of a specific server. This approach allows content to be cached within the network and network nodes to change their location without affecting … Read more

In-place matrix multiplication [Taken]

David Gregg (email | all projects)

Matrix multiplication is one of the commonly-used computations across a wide range of applications. For example, most implementations of neural networks implement very large numbers of matrix multiplications. Almost all processor and GPU manufacturers provide libraries with carefully hand-tuned fast matrix multiplication routines. All the best-known algorithms matrix multiplication are out-of-place; that is, the result … Read more

A generator for hardware modular reduction units [Taken]

David Gregg (email | all projects)

Many cryptographic schemes rely on modular arithmetic. Modular arithmetic is a system of arithmetic operators on integers where the numbers “wrap around” back to zero when they reach a value called the modulus. For example, if our modulus is 17, then (12 + 14) mod 17 = 9. When we implement modular arithmetic, a key … Read more

Exploring survival analysis 1

Simon Wilson (email | all projects)

ELIGIBILITY: This project is for a student taking the online MSc in Statistics and Data Science. Survival analysis refers to models and methods for survival data, that is, data on the failure of a system.  Usually this takes the form of times when failure occurs, with the failure referring to events like the system no … Read more
