The University of York
MPhil Studentship
Image Analysis using Beamlets
Department of Computer Science
Closing date for applications: 14 November 2005
An MPhil studentship funded by QinetiQ is available within the Advanced Computer Architecture Group (ACAG) of the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, UK.
The project is concerned with developing the use of beamlets (related to wavelets) in the detection and identification of complex time-varying traces in noisy, dynamically-generated images. Applicants will need to have a good honours degree in Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or other related areas. A strong computing and programming background is essential.
The Department of Computer Science was rated 6* at the last RAE (research quality assessment). Whilst there is extensive expertise in many branches of computing, we emphasise multi-disciplinary approaches to research so no firm dividing lines are drawn between the various strands of the subject.
The ACA Group brings together the three areas of neural networks, computer vision and advanced architectures, and it has currently around 30 members. Detailed information about the group and its research areas is available online at http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/research/. Enquiries about the project can be directed to Dr Simon O'Keefe, email: sok@cs.york.ac.uk.
The funding is currently for two years, and covers a fee waiver at the UK/EU rate and a tax-free stipend. The studentship is open to UK, EU and overseas students; any successful overseas candidate would have to find the balance of the overseas fees from another source. Acceptance will be subject to security checks. The successful applicant may be able to extend their registration to complete a PhD after the initial period of funding.
Applicants must complete a University application form - instructions on how to apply are available at http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/gsp/research/howtoapply.php
