Welcome to Imperial NetSys cyber home. We work on a broad range of research topics including User-Centred Systems, IoT, Applied Machine Learning, Privacy, and Human-Data Interaction.
We'd love to hear from strong students interested in doing their masters project or PhD research in NetSys, or postdoctoral fellows interested in being hosted at Imperial College London. We are always keen to support exceptional candidates for the Imperial College Research Fellowships, the Imperial President’s PhD Scholarships, China Scholarship Council, the Islamic Development Bank – Imperial College Scholarship, UKRI AI for Healthcare CDT, the London Interdisciplinary Social Science Doctoral Training Partnership (LISS DTP), and various other UK and International Scholarships and Centres for Doctoral Training in Imperial College London.
We also supoort exceptional candidates for sabbaticals, Royal Society Fellowships, and UKRI EPSRC Postdoctoral and Open Fellowships. Please get in touch to discuss these, sending any relevant material, information, and a potential proposal idea.
