Description: This is a fully funded PhD for three years. The research is concerned with smart and adaptive security systems that are capable of detecting threats that fall across the cyber physical domain and responding to those threats in real time. As cyber threats evolve rapidly, the dynamic capability and adaptive security developed during this project will enable an autonomous vehicle to respond to threats in real time. Diagnostics using AI algorithms and data mining techniques will be developed and used to verify positional and control data authenticity so that the severity of the threat can be determined. If the systems are compromised, appropriate action will be taken to initiate a response to the threat. This project will also require that the candidate should have the skill set to be able to assemble kit and components throughout the project.
The successful candidate will receive a £13,726 bursary (years 2 and 3 linked to RCUK Doctoral Stipend rate) plus a contribution towards tuition fees of up to the equivalent of the Home fee (currently £3900 pa), subject to performance.
Due to funding, applicants must hold a First Class or Upper Second Class Honours Bachelorâs or Masterâs degree (UK or UK equivalent) in a relevant discipline.Â
