The research centres on two key challenges: real-time tracking surgical devices and developing intelligent 2D–3D registration methods. You will explore AI-driven approaches to fuse imaging data, track surgical instruments, and align virtual models with live fluoroscopy for precise spatial guidance. You will join a supportive research team, working alongside fellow PhD students and collaborating with clinical researchers at King’s College London. With access to state-of-the-art AI workstations and strong interdisciplinary support, you will gain valuable experience in medical imaging, computer vision, and machine learning.

We have an open PhD position in Human-Computer Interaction with a focus on intelligent and adaptive systems for Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Extended Reality. This research builds on recent work on optimization-based workspace adaptation in VR/MR and aims to advance interactive systems that dynamically adapt to user behavior, preferences, and intent to optimally support productivity workflows, guided by emerging large language models.

We invite applications for a design-led PhD exploring the virtual museum as a new architectural and experiential typology. Situated at the intersection of architecture, game design, and museum studies, this project investigates how immersive technologies – VR, AR, AI, and game engines – can reshape museum design and support social sustainability and peace-building, with a specific focus on Northern Ireland.
