UK: PhD Positions, School of Computing, University of Leeds

[administrator]

We have three exciting PhD projects advertised at the School of Computing, University of Leeds. The projects will enable the candidate to study computer arithmetic for 3.5 years, including but not limited to, working with new mixed-precision mathematical hardware and designing and analysing algorithms for exploring the features of and using the latest hardware.

Projects (follow the links for details and application process):

1. Rounding Error Analysis for Non-Standard Floating-Point Hardware: https://phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1844-rounding-error-analysis-for-non-standard-floating-point-hardware

2. Exploration of Low Precision Numerical Hardware and Stochastic Rounding: https://phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1547-exploration-of-low-precision-numerical-hardware-and-stochastic-rounding

3. Mixed precision, approximate computing, and data compression for computational fluid dynamics: https://phd.leeds.ac.uk/project/1845-mixed-precision-approximate-computing-and-data-compression-for-computational-fluid-dynamics

The prospective postgraduate researchers will join the Leeds Mathematical Software and Hardware Lab at the School of Computing, University of Leeds situated in a beautiful and very natural part of England that is the Yorkshire county.

We have 1x home (UK residents) studentship available, with a typical studentship in 2023/24 providing 3.5 years of tax-free maintenance grant of 18,622 GBP per year and fees covered. Further funding (including international students) is available through a competitive process currently advertised at the University of Leeds: https://phd.leeds.ac.uk/funding/356-epsrc-doctoral-training-partnership-2024-25-computing.
