Overview

The University of Birmingham offers a PhD Studentship in Birmingham focused on the Physics of Learning in Robotic Metamaterials. Applications close on 6 January 2027. This position involves research at the intersection of metamaterials, soft matter physics, and robotics.

About this role

This PhD involves leading research into robotic metamaterials that adapt their dynamics to environments post-deployment. You will develop decentralized learning techniques for active mechanical units, explore the link between network structure and functionality, and conduct tabletop experiments to implement learning algorithms in unpredictable settings.

Candidates should have a background in physics, engineering, applied mathematics, or a related field. The project encourages curiosity and openness to integrate theoretical modeling with practical experiments, aiming to advance the understanding of how robotics can inform physics and vice versa.
