PhD Studentship: Distributed and Lightweight Large Language Models for Aerial 6G Spectrum Management
: Algorithm Validation and Use Case Demonstration (Months 27–36): This WP will first develop an integrated hardware–software testbed to systematically validate the performance of proposed solutions under
-
Methods Wildlife populations have declined dramatically in the past century in response to anthropogenic environmental changes, but appropriate tools to study the magnitude and consequences
-
Methods Future sea level rise is highly uncertain, largely due to how the West Antarctic Ice Sheet responds to climate change. The IPCC highlights a split emerging in the 2070s: a lower-impact trajectory
-
Methods Marine bivalves such as mussels and oysters are vital for UK coastal ecosystems and support multi-million-pound aquaculture industries. However, their survival and performance are increasingly
-
Methods Why are genetic variants that increase disease susceptibility maintained in populations, when natural selection should eliminate them? Understanding how and why genetic variation is maintained is a

Methods Larger deep-water sharks, many of which are slow-growing and late to mature, have been heavily targeted by commercial fisheries, leading to significant population declines across much of their range
