PhD position summary/title: Predicting diagnosis and symptom severity in ADHD with deep learning and network analysis using EEG (Coventry led)
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by symptoms of inattention, hyperactivity and or impulsivity. The diagnosis and monitoring of the symptom severity are mostly based on subjective reports, while neuropsychological testing and direct classroom observations are more objective diagnosis methods, but they are time-consuming and expensive. A new cost-effective and accurate diagnosis and symptom monitoring technique is urgently needed.
This project aims to explore whether EEG can provide a quantitative and effective approach for the diagnosis and severity monitoring of ADHD. Additionally, we would like to evaluate whether an integration of advanced signal processing, network analysis and deep learning techniques would improve the diagnosis performance compared with traditional EEG analysis methods.

PhD position summary/title: Atlantic Stories, Colonial Legacies and the Bodleian Library, 1650-1800
In response, this project proposes a series of case studies from within the Bodleian’s collections 1650-1800, to highlight early modern Atlantic colonial legacies and curatorial practice. Research questions include: what can an archival object or set of objects tell us about colonial activity? How has information about these objects been represented in Bodleian finding aids, both historically and currently? How has that created absences or silences relating to the history of empire?
The researcher will benefit from a multi-disciplinary team of supervisors and advisors. It is anticipated that the student will follow a two-month internship at the Bodleian to produce a mini research project that will support the dissemination of the PhD research and enhance future employability.

PhD position summary/title: Interrogating Situated Colonial Practices in the Dance Archive
The project chimes well with a larger questioning in dance of its rela-tionship to social justice and how practices and narratives of inclusion and diversity can be put into dialogue in envisioning new modes of production. In addition, the project is concerned with ‘undoing’ and ‘liberation’ from a dominant colonial paradigm (Vázquez, 2021) and how dance has an important role to play in this.
According to Mayes and Whitfield (2021), African American artists are generally hidden or missing from archives yet nevertheless had an important role in creating musical theatre, particularly the dance we know today. The U.K. received an influx of people migrating in the 19th century, many from the United States, contributed to the significant evolution of musical theatre and dance. As one example, this is especially evident in the impact of the work of Master Juba who became well-known in the U.K. for his expressive rhythms on stage.

PhD position summary/title: Taxation, money laundering and integrity risks and compliance challenges in the arts and antiquities markets
The challenges of complying with taxation, money laundering, and integrity laws and regulations in the arts and antiquities markets are significant. These laws and regulations are often complex and constantly changing, and they can be expensive to comply with. Additionally, the art and antiquities markets are dynamic, which makes it difficult to ensure effective compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
Using doctrinal and socio-legal research methodologies, the project will focus on innovatively unveiling the salient tax crime, money laundering, and integrity risks and challenges in the arts and antiquities markets. It will also address the question of how these risks and challenges are exploited by criminal actors and addressed by relevant authorities and the society. This project would result in a better understanding of these risks and the development of more effective measures to counter them.

PhD position summary/title: The role of health technology in menopause support: co-designing culturally and socially appropriate solutions
Social and cultural attitudes and values also contribute to these varied perceptions and experiences, meaning that effective support needs to take these factors into account. There is a growing range of technology emerging to assess and treat menopausal symptoms and offer help and support. There is, however, much debate about the use of ‘FemTech’ in terms of privacy, the nature of the advice offered, user control and empowerment, and accessibility to all.
With a focus on seldom heard voices, this interdisciplinary research will seek to explore a range of experiences and support needs related to the menopause.
The research seeks to identify and understand the needs and priorities of people experiencing the menopause through language-based and creative methods, investigating how such methods can facilitate the discussion of sensitive issues. The role of technology in menopause support will be considered, and the findings from the needs identification will be translated into design requirements for culturally and socially appropriate solutions.
The project will be supported by the NIHR Devices for Dignity HRC who specialise in the development of innovative health technologies for people with long-term conditions and have a key national role in developing technologies to improve women’s health.

PhD position summary/title: Using lipid nano-particles to study G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs)
G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) form the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome and are the therapeutic target for ~40% of clinically-prescribed drugs. Understanding their structure & function at the molecular level is of fundamental importance. Using styrene maleic acid (SMA) co-polymer, we reported the first purification of active GPCR encap-sulated in nano-scale SMA lipid particles (SMALPs), in the complete ab-sence of detergent, thereby preserving the native lipid environment of the GPCR. This is ‘cutting edge’ research.
This is a multidisciplinary project combining molecular pharmacology, fluo-rescence techniques and biophysics. We will exploit our powerful SMALP technologies to provide new insights into GPCR structure and molecular mechanisms, including conformational changes associated with activation and drug binding, using engineered receptors with fluorescent ligands and probes combined with exploiting novel SMA-like polymers specifically tai-lored for GPCR research.
This project will provide the student with a broad skill-base, working with an international collaborative team and expertise relevant to a future career in either academia or the pharmaceutical industry.

PhD position summary/title: Becoming a doctoral candidate: from expert to learner and back again
Over the past few decades an increasing number of graduate student researchers have established expert careers before undertaking a PhD in their own or a new field. In the area of the arts and humanities, this can mean choosing to do a creative arts PhD in a field in which one is already an expert, or choosing to leave a different career in order to embark on a creative arts PhD. The privileged status given to those with established careers can present a challenge when it comes to their learning and studying for a doctorate, and this often intersects with other challenges related to mature study, such as continuing family and career commitments. In the creative arts, returning to study can involve seeing one’s expert practice from a new angle, or it can mean engaging with arts methodologies for the very first time.
Whilst there is long-term research established around the study of mature learning, staff and professional doctorates, as well as study/life balance, and whilst there is substantial literature on practice research methodology in the arts, there is limited understanding in how these intersect in the experience of experts from practice, education, and business, who choose to return to study for higher degrees. With a focus on the creative arts, this research will explore experiences of PGRs as they journey from professional expert to learner, before becoming an expert once more in a new way.

PhD position summary/title: Ensuring sustainability of teacher workforce in England: Identifying the antecedents of early career Mathematics teachers’ attrition and developing strategies to improve their retention
The PhD will focus on investigating early career mathematics teachers’ reasons for leaving the profession and developing strategies to improve their retention in England. In this research, a mixed-method and multistakeholder approach will be adopted to ask multiple stakeholders (mathematics teachers, their mentors, educational leaders, union representatives and policymakers) about the reasons for attrition and possible solution strategies for improved retention.
Synthesising the qualitative and quantitative findings, the researcher will develop a model/framework of teacher attrition/retention. The final synthesised model and the scale developed at the quantitative phase can be utilised for teachers of subjects other than mathematics because of the similarities in some individual and contextual antecedents of attrition and relevant strategies to improve retention. The findings of this research will help policymakers and practitioners improve teacher performance and teaching quality by eliminating the underlying negative attitudes, which will eventually improve student outcomes. The results will also provide input for teacher education/training professionals in terms of developing appropriate teacher preparation and development criteria.

PhD position summary/title: Obstructive Sleep Apnoea and metabolic syndrome in different ethnicities
The prevalence of sleep apnoea is increasing globally; however, population-based studies have reported a wide variation of prevalence estimates, particularly from different ethnicities. In the past few years, several studies have analysed the potential independent contribution of OSA to the pathogenesis of metabolic abnormalities, including obesity, hypertension, type 2 diabetes/insulin resistance, and dyslipidaemia.
Although the disorder has been well studied in selected high-risk populations, few data exist on its prevalence in the population from different ethnicities and geographical regions, particularly on metabolic dysfunction. Studies in some populations from high-income countries suggest lifestyle interventions, such as diet and exercise programmes could improve both OSA and the metabolic profile. We plan to carry out a study to understand the relationship between OSA and metabolic dysfunction in different ethnicities and test a pilot intervention on lifestyle intervention in the ethnic minority population.

PhD position summary/title: AI enhanced 3D human body shape estimation and garment redressing from clothed 3D scan sequences
To this end, two main subtasks are necessary: a) an accurate 3D body shape reconstruction, and b) dressing of the obtained body. An accurate 3D body shape can be obtained via 3D body scanning techniques. However, it is inconvenient and an infringement on the right to privacy to scan the undressed body directly. Existing methods of dressing the 3D body can be classified into two main categories: the physically based cloth simulation, and redressing garments from a template to another subject. Redressing scanned garments has shown superior performance in terms of the realistic geometry, compared to the physically based cloth simulation. However, existing methods focus on redressing static scanned garments while it is necessary to redress the 3D scanned garment movement to obtain more realistic and accurate virtual try-on results.
This project focuses on developing AI-based solutions for estimating body shapes and redressing dynamic garments from clothed 3D sequences. This can now be achieved thanks to the rapid developments of deep neural networks and improvements in commodity depth sensors. This project will push the state of the art in specific areas of computer vision related to point cloud acquisition and processing to develop the building blocks of a full “virtual fitting” experience that will be marketed to clients in the fashion industry looking to transition into the digital world, or improve the value generation potential of online marketplaces.

PhD position summary/title: Plastic Pollution as an Anthropogenic Threat to Human Health: The Impact of Nano- and Microplastics Accumulation on Skeletal Muscle Function
Based on world-leading expertise in evaluating isolated skeletal muscle function and utilising equipment exclusive to Coventry University, this PhD will, for the first time, establish the effect of nano- and microplastic accumulation on SkM function. This is especially significant given that impaired muscle function is an independent marker of disease and all-cause mortality. Specifically, the PhD will examine the effects of plastic particle size and dose on SkM function, explore if detrimental effects can be reversed, and establish if an interaction exists between plastic particles and other known pollutants suggested to affect SkM health. This interdisciplinary research will therefore provide necessary data to support robust human health risk assessment of the impact of plastic particle pollution.

PhD position summary/title: Interoception of breathing and the effects on the cortical control of balance
Interoceptive pathways offer ripe opportunities for experimental manipu-lations of mind–body interactions, which can lead to promising interven-tions to reduce high levels of fear about falling. Breathing is profoundly in-fluenced by emotion and is one of the few physiological functions that can be volitionally controlled, potentially providing a powerful portal to entrain and modify high levels of fear. The proposed project brings together differ-ent disciplines (neuroscience, signal processing, physiology, and psychology) to probe the role of interoception (specifically breathing) in the generation of fear of falling. We will use neuroscientific techniques (such as electroen-cephalography [EEG]) to shed light on potential brain mechanisms involved in the interoception of breathing, and elucidate how these factors influence subjective fear and anxiety states.

PhD position summary/title: Feedback, attainment and underperformance in higher education (Deakin Starting)
Feedback processes are a key driver of learning and attainment in higher education, but there is a suggestion that feedback mostly benefits self-regulating and highly performing students.
A recent review identified that students’ prior level of achievement influences their engagement with feedback leading them to take up feedback opportunities differently. Who is able to elicit feedback and seek teacher support varies through any number of student characteristics and local circumstances. Feedback information may be worded differently for lower rather higher scoring papers. Significant questions remain around the intersections of feedback and performance. How and with what sort of inputs and processes students engage (or do not engage) is poorly understood, especially for those who have low outcomes.
Making better sense of feedback practices from the student perspective will support the design of feedback systems that engage students and develop their evaluative judgment. Applicants should propose a specific focus within the research scope outlined here depending on their own interests.

PhD position summary/title: The efficacy of a wearable intervention in treating poor mental health in the early postnatal period and the role of circadian rhythm and prolactin during mental health recovery
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence recognised that wearables can improve mental health in the general population. However, this advice has not been extended to the perinatal period due to a lack of research, impeded by the stigma related to perinatal mental health. Importantly, recent studies have speculated a correlation between aberrant expression of lactogenic hormones and pathological changes in mood and sleep.
Following (i) a systematic literature review, this research will (ii) evaluate the suitability of a wearable intervention in the postnatal period and (iii) explore the trajectory and protective role of circadian rhythms and prolactin levels on mental health during the early postnatal period. The outcomes will lay the foundations to extend treatment care for women post-birth

PhD position summary/title: Internal temperature sensing towards advanced thermal management for lithium-ion batteries
The core temperatures of batteries are generally higher, especially at high currents, and this high temperature gradient commonly leads to an inhomogeneous degradation and potential lithium plating, resulting in accelerated deterioration and safety hazards. Here, this project will develop an advanced thermal management system through multi-objective optimization and sensing internal temperatures of batteries. Four specific objectives are:
- Utilise in-house developed, in-cell implantable thermal sensors to observe internal temperature and gradients, and understand the resulting current inconsistency within batteries.
- Develop an advanced electro-thermal coupled model to virtually sense internal states (temperatures and currents) of batteries.
- Investigate battery degradation under different cooling scenarios to relate battery aging behaviours with internal states.
- Develop a cooling optimisation framework that considers internal states, battery degradation, and cooling energy consumption to optimise the cooling parameters.

PhD position summary/title: Shaping Modernity?: (Semi)-private Exterior Spaces and the Arts in Late-19th Belgian and Interacting Sites of Creative Exchange
Focusing on these spaces and their functions as sites of creation, self-fashioning, new gender identities and sociality, this study’s key aim is to shed light on why and how the interconnectedness of such spaces made them multifaceted cultural loci for new projections of modernity. Considering the relevance and distinctiveness of the Belgian contexts, this PhD will examine the creation of semi-private exterior spaces, their uses by artists, and their broader significance, including beyond Belgium, as sites of cultural memory and identity-construction.
Focusing on the semi-private artistic sphere – studios, salons and the domestic space – the study will open perspectives on their artistic, material and geo-cultural ecologies as pivotal arenas of artistic innovation and exchange. These were also to loosen perceived boundaries of interior and exterior to shape new sites of modernity, gender and the artistic ‘self’. Indeed, a key ambition of this PhD, is to illuminate such spaces as potent loci for ideas of personal growth, self-expression, redefined constructs of ‘masculinity’, ‘femininity’, and of cultural agency.
This PhD studentship is offered in partnership with KU Leuven. It is expected that the successful applicant will spend 12 months in Belgium.
