EPSRC CASE PhD Studentship
Electromagnetic Sensors for Corrosion Detection and Monitoring Under Coating
School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
Reference Code: EE003
Closing Date: 30th August 2008
Details:
Supervisor(s): Professor G Y Tian and Dr Paul Jackson (International Paint Ltd)
School: School of Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering
Sponsor: EPSRC and International Paint Ltd
Duration: 3½ years
Start date: October 2008
The focus of this project is to design and develop electromagnetic (EM) sensors and monitoring systems for non-destructive testing and monitoring corrosion, cracks and stress under coatings or insulation. The project will involve surveying current non-destructive testing and evaluation (NDT&E) methods and analysing applications of the current methods for the detection of corrosion under coatings or insulation and EM methods in particular. Based on this study, new EM sensors and monitoring systems will be designed and constructed. Experimental work will then be carried out using calibrated samples from International Paint Ltd. Different surface coatings and treatments will be tested to find potential solutions.
The project includes a three month placement at International Paint Ltd to enable the successful applicant to gain invaluable industrial exposure.
International Paint Ltd
International Paint, a UK headquarted company, is part of the Akzo Nobel group and supplies coatings to the marine, protective coatings, yacht and aerospace sectors. The coating products supplied by International Paint are required to provide long term performance under highly aggressive in-service con***ions, as a result the company relies on the development of new technology to underpin its market position. The companies main research and development facilities are located in Gateshead.
Value of the Award and Eligibility
The level of funding available for this studentship varies depending on how you meet the EPSRC''s residency requirements. If you can demonstrate a relevant connection with the UK (eg you are ordinarily resident in the UK), you may receive an award that covers fees and an enhanced stipend (£13,000 per annum + ad***ional payments from International Paint Ltd). If you can demonstrate a relevant connection to an EU country other than the UK, you may receive an award that covers fees only. For more information, please see the EPSRC website.
Person Specification
Applicants should have a first-class or upper-second-class Honours degree or a Master''s degree in engineering or physics.

ETH Zẳrich, Wearable Computing Laboratory
Description:
The Wearable Computing Lab investigates how to recognize user context and activities from data captured by on-body and ambient sensors. Context-aware systems assist users in various domains: industrial manufacturing, lifestyle management, rehabilitation, ...
In the coming years, such technologies will be massively deployed and become part of the daily life of millions. This will lead to complex ''socio-technical'' systems, characterized by a tight entanglement between humans and technology.
Job Description
We offer a PhD position within the framework of the new European Research Project SOCIONICAL.
SOCIONICAL groups 14 high-profile European universities, research institutes, policy makers, and private companies. They will collaborate over the next 4 years (2009-2012) to develop the science of complex systems for socially intelligent ICT.
This includes developing the theoretical background of socio-technical system, developing modeling and simulation methods, run experimental large-scale data acquisition, run pilot-studies in in emergency/disaster scenario and in massive car-2-car communication scenarios, and investigate how to provide advice to policymakers on the basis of the project outcomes.
In this position you will be responsible for one of the project''s work package. You will closely collaborate with the project''s partners throughout the duration of the project.
Your work environment will be multinational, both in Zẳrich and with project partners within Europe, with frequent travels to the partner''s location.
Within this project, research topics may be in the area of:
# Context recognition in sensor networks
# Recognizing group context in large-scale socio-technical systems
# Collaborative use of large socio-technical systems.
# Modeling of socio-technical systems.
# Technical aspects of socio-technical systems.

ETH Zurich
The speech processing group (see: http://www.tik.ee.ethz.ch/~spr) at ETH Zurich is a team of currently six members who work mainly in the domains of speech synthesis and speech recognition. The group is involved in a new interdisciplinary project in the area of multimodal man-machine communication. One of the project aims is to improve the robustness of speech recognition in adverse environment by means of other modalities, mainly vision. From the vision domain, support for the speech recognition can e.g. be attained via lip reading or scene analysis. On the one hand such information can be directly applied in the speech recognizer which is particularly helpful in the presence of strong background noise. On the other hand the information from the visual input may be used on the level of dialog processing to distinguish the user`s speech from the voices of other persons talking nearby.
Education Applicants must have a master degree in computer science or electrical engineering with a strong background in digital signal processing, speech processing and statistical modeling or related topics.
Please submit your application preferably by email to Dr. Beat Pfister (pfister@tik.ee.ethz.ch). Your application should contain a CV, a statement of interest, copies of degree certificates and associated scores, the master thesis, and two references.

All speech must be automatically transcribed in text so that the fragments can be indexed. The task of the PhD is to carry out a requirements analysis, investigate topic detection scenarios, apply speaker detection techniques, and to develop and test an interactive retrieval procedures. The PhD thesis will consist of a collection of journal papers about the project elements mentioned above.
The project will be carried out in close collaboration with the Catholic University of Leuven (Prof. H. Van Hamme).
