Project Topic
Mental health is acknowledged as a leading global health concern. This PhD project focuses on auto-understanding individuals’ mental wellness and wellness-related requirements. The project will investigate the potential to classify an individual’s mental wellness and provide early indicators of declining mental wellness using personal contextual indicators (e.g., geo-location, people around you, mobile activity, biometric response) as an individual engages in daily life activities. The research will analyse the personal contextual indicators using deep learning approaches. In particular, the effectiveness of these approaches in classification of individuals’ wellness in different scenarios and times will be explored.
Candidate
The ideal candidate will be a motivated and enthusiastic person with the following skills and qualifications:
- Primary degree (BSc/MSc) in Computer Science or a related discipline.
- Received (or on track to receive) first-class honours or high second-class honours in their primary degree.
- Strong programming and analytical thinking skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and problem-solving abilities.
- Excellent interpersonal skills.
- Good communication skills (written and verbal).
- Data analysis and machine learning knowledge is desirable.
Funding
This PhD position is fully funded for up to 4-years as follows:
- Tax free stipend of €16,000 per annum.
- Annual student fees.
Application Process
Applications are invited from those who have achieved (or are on track to achieve) a first-class honours or a high second-class honours degree in Computer Science or a related discipline.
