Centres for Doctoral Training

We are one of very few UK universities with two EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in computer science. Together these two training centres will offer more than 100 PhD scholarships until 2019.

Since 2014, the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cloud Computing for Big Data has funded more than 50 PhD scholarships. It's equipped graduates with the expertise to be able to answer a global skills shortage.

Following on from this success, the future of the CDT will be funded by investment from Newcastle University and industry partners. It will continue to provide a bespoke training and research programme with strong cohort interactions and industry links to develop future leaders in data analytics.

Since 2014, the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Digital Civics has funded more than 50 PhD scholarships. They've been based in Open Lab , the human-computer interaction academic group.

The Centre is a partnership between:

• local government (Northumberland, Gateshead and Newcastle councils)
• local and national NGOs
• international technology companies
• many of the leading universities in North America, Asia, Europe, and Australasia

PhD Studentship in Computer Science: Global Scale Digital Forensics for CyberPhysical Systems

Newcastle university.

Forensics often takes place in a local context. However, to detect attacks, protect systems, recover operations, and identify attackers in cyberphysical systems requires cooperation across a number of defenders -- the cyberphysical network and the core. Indeed ISP networks have visibility into 60-70% of network traffic however, they don't have the intelligence or the context of the local cyberphysical system in order to attribute attacks or detect stepping stones.

This prompts several big research challenges. First, invisibility -- attackers avoid detection borrowing techniques from the field of anonymous communications. Second, cooperation -- the attack information is distributed across the core and the edge, and joining the dotted lines up seems inherently hard. Third, -- Attack attribution requires extensive cooperation across networks however, it is often impeded by uncooperative intermediaries.

Specifically, this project aims to develop methods and tools to address the challenges of visibility, scale, privacy, false-positives, and cooperation.
