Connectionists: Two fully funded PhD opportunities @University of Plymouth starting October 1, 2025

[Vassilis Cutsuridis]

We are excited to offer *two fully-funded PhD positions* at the University
of Plymouth in the fields of Neuromorphic AI, Brain-Computer Interaction,
Optimization, and Biosignal Analysis.

Details of both opportunities are below.

If you're interested, feel free to reach out! 😊😊

1️⃣ *Generative AI for image and video reconstructions from brain signals*
Can we access our memories from brain signals and reconstruct their visual
contents?
The project aims to develop an explainable and trustworthy Generative AI
pipeline system capable of decoding in real-time electroencephalography
(EEG) brain signals of human participants while they are passively viewing
or imagining visual content (faces, animals, etc) and of reconstructing
this visual content with high fidelity.

👥 *Supervisors*: Vassilis Cutsuridis, Giorgio Ganis, Vivek Singh
📩 *Contact*: vassilis.cutsuridis at plymouth.ac.uk

2️⃣ *Enhancing AI Performance with AMD's Neural Processing Units*
The project aims to maximize the potential of AMD’s cutting-edge Neural
Processing Units (NPUs) in the area of computer vision. This project is
partially funded by AMD and the successful candidate will collaborate with
AMD researchers.

👥 *Supervisors*: Vasilios Kelefouras, Vassilis Cutsuridis, Krithika Anil
📩 *Contact:* vasilios.kelefouras at plymouth.ac.uk


*Requirements for PhD applicants*:

·       BSc or MSc in Computing, Physics, Mathematics, Engineering, or a
related area, by the agreed start date of the position (essential)

·       Excellent knowledge of Python (essential)

·       Experience with Matlab and/or R (desirable)

The successful candidates on either positions will have ample experience in
programming, and a good publication record.

Feel free to share with anyone who might be interested!


Best,
Vassilis
