Overview
About the programme
As a PhD student researching Computing Science at the University of Stirling, you’ll benefit from the support and expertise of leading academics who encourage you to think outside the box and tackle real problems affecting industry and society.
The contributions of our postgraduate researchers play a vital role in our work, and we welcome applications from anyone who shares our passion for making a positive impact through Computing Science research.
Programme Structure
Our research themes are:- Optimisation techniques (particularly meta-heuristic) where we apply applications to model parameter fitting, automated software engineering, scheduling problems
- Data-driven predictive modelling that melds traditional mathematical modelling with computational and data analytic approaches
- Vision and image processing where we devise new methods for extracting useful information from imaging data
- Food security is a major application area for data-driven predictive modelling, in combination with data science, remote sensing and image processing. This included work on strategies for controlling pest and disease spread
- Improving health and well-being where we use data science, image and sensor processing and predictive modelling for understanding health risks and providing solutions
- Cybersecurity for multimedia: to ensure legitimacy of electronic data, particularly images and videos
