The Distributed Algorithms PhD programme
PhD Students, academics and project partners work at the interface of high-performance computing and data science to harvest the new 'oil': the information present in data.
What we're doing?
The future leaders in Distributed Algorithms solve some of the world’s toughest challenges by working at the interface of AI, machine learning and data science. We are a diverse team of world-leading researchers that develop flexible, fast and efficient data science solutions utilising future computing power.
How do we do it?
We achieve this through a collective effort. The CDT PhDs are embedded in the Signal Processing Group and work directly with like-minded researchers, supevisors and their project partners to solve complex data challenges. This collaboration aims to produce graduates who can work as a multi-disciplinary team to develop non-trivial algorithmic solutions that use cutting-edge future computing technologies to solve real-world industrial and scientific problems.
What to expect?
CDT communities benefit from:
- Placements for PhDs hosted by our partners
- Placements for partners hosted by the research group
- Engagement with internationally-leading supercomputing centre the STFC’s Hartree Centre
- Technical and professional training, hackathons, conferences, team building, showcase and networking events
- Interdisciplinary cohort training and development experiences delivered by the Alan Turing Institute
- Peer mentors and academic leadership from the Signal Processing Group.
