So its been a while since I’ve written a blog post. Life, work, and more work has made my time limited. But hopefully I’ll write more frequently in future.
The good news is that we have several fully funded PhD studentships which you or others you know might be interested in. They are all fully-funded, based at Queen Mary University of London, and starting September 2023.
As part of the AI and Music Doctoral (AIM) Training Centre,
- Auditory masking: advances and creative applications
- Machine learning of physical models – This is supported by the company Nemisindo.
As part of the Intelligent Games (IGGI) Doctoral Training Centre
- Machine learning of procedural audio – This is supported by the company Nemisindo.
And for those students eligible for China Scholarship Council funding,
- Acoustic auto-focus – At the time of writing, the full topic description wasn’t available. But it should be there in a couple of days.
And finally, for those with UK residency status,
With the exception of the last one, these are all 4 year studentships; the last one is for 3 years. Funding includes both a full tuition fee waiver and living stipend.
You’ll notice that there are related topics regarding machine learning applied to constructing simulations. This is an area where we have a strong interest, and there is scope for different projects pursuing different directions.
All the studentships are highly competitive, so its worth putting in a very strong application. And for those who fulfill CSC funding requirements or those who fulfill UK residency requirements, I recommend going for the last two, which may not be as competitive as the others. You can apply for more than one though.
If you or anyone you know is interested, please consider applying and feel free to ask me any questions. Good luck!
