PhD Topics	PhD Opportunity in AI-Powered Human Motion & Interaction Analysis Are you passionate about the future of Artificial Intelligence and its role in shaping real-world applications? Join us for a cutting-edge PhD project in Computer Science that explores AI-led research to revolutionise how we understand, assess, and generate human activity and interaction. This unique opportunity combines advanced AI with real-world impact in fields like sports performance judging, movement rehabilitation, and digital content creation. The project spans multiple research areas, including computer science, computer graphics, computer vision, AI, deep learning, and data science. About the Project In this project, you will develop state-of-the-art AI methods through deep learning to understand, interpret and generate human motion and interactions. Using data from images, videos, and 3D models, you’ll extract critical features that enable AI systems to analyse and replicate human movement with precision. Possible Project Areas Explore a broad range of exciting topics, including: • AI-powered human motion & interaction understanding • Continuous quality assessment of human activities • Prompt-based human motion generation with LLMs • 3D human model and interaction generation • and more … Entry Requirements • A relevant undergraduate or master's degree with good scores. • Knowledge of modern programming languages. • Meet Durham's English requirements (https://www.dur.ac.uk/study/international/entry-requirements/english-language-requirements/). How to Apply Please send an email with your resume, transcripts, and any supporting documents to Dr. Frederick Li via frederick.li@durham.ac.uk for an initial discussion.
