PhD Studentship
Oxford Brookes University -The Department of Computing and Communications Technologies
Faculty of Technology, Design and Environment
Oxford Brookes University is pleased to announce that it is able to offer a Doctoral Bursary to a new PhD student in for full time study commencing in January 2013. The successful applicant will have course fees waived and will be awarded a bursary of £10,000 per annum for three years (with no inflation increase).
The PhD project will focus on decision making and estimation. These are central problems in most applied sciences, as both people and machines need to make inferences about the state of the external world, and take appropriate actions.
Traditionally, the (uncertain) state of the world is assumed to be described by a probability distribution over a set of alternative, disjoint hypotheses.
The aim of this studentship is to study the mathematical properties of belief functions, and give a contribution towards the development of crucial tools such as the total belief theorem.
