Phd & MPhil Opportunities in
Computing, Engineering & Technology

The School of Computing, Engineering & Technology at the University of
Sunderland is seeking high quality, motivated applicants wishing to
gain a PhD or MPhil in the disciplines of Computing, Mathematical
Sciences, Engineering and

Technology. The school has a strong and growing research profile with
6 EPSRC and more than 10 EU-funded projects and a vibrant community of
over 100 researchers. The School is well-resourced and offers
excellent facilities with much state-of the art computing equipment
and not only offers high quality postgraduate but also undergraduate
programmes accredited by professional societies.

We look for applications in both computing and mathematics as well as
general engineering.

The main research groups in computing & mathematics are:

intelligent systems (major strengths in neural networks, genetic
algorithms, hybrid systems and natural language engineering:
Professor Stefan Wermter - stefan.wermter at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191
5153279);

human computer systems (includes themes such as multimedia,
computer-aided learning, computing for the disabled and human computer
interaction evaluation methodologies: Professor Gilbert Cockton -
gilbert.cockton at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5153394);

software engineering (focussed on practical areas especially software
testing and the organisational risks of implementing information
systems, methodologies and solutions for industry: Professor Helen
Edwards helen.edwards at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5152786 or Professor
Barrie Thompson barrie.thompson at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5152769);

electronic commerce (encompasses the development and promotion of
standards in this dynamic area with a special interest in the area
of electronic procurement: Kevin Ginty - kevin.ginty at sunderland.ac.uk
or Albert Bokma albert.bokma at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5153233);
decision support systems (covers a diverse range of activities in
statistics & mathematics at the boundary of Computer Science and
Statistics and Operational Research: Professor Eric Fletcher
eric.fletcher at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5152822 or Professor Alfredo
Moscardini alfredo.moscardini at sunderland.ac.uk +44 191 5152763);
