Funded PhD: Information Visualization Directed by Graph Data Mining
University of Kent - School of Computing
The School of Computing is currently inviting applications for a three-year
PhD scholarship in data mining. We invite applications for three year,
funded PhD degrees.
The Project
Data visualization techniques are failing in the face of large data sets.
This project attempts to increase the scale of graph data that can be
visualized by developing data mining techniques to guide interactive
visualization. This sophisticated combining of information visualization
and data mining promises to greatly improve the size of data understandable
by analysts, and will advance the state of the art in both disciplines.
On successful completion, publications in high quality venues are envisaged.
This project is algorithmically demanding, requiring good coding skills. The
implementation language is negotiable, but Java, JavaScript, or C++ are all
reasonable target languages. Data will be derived from publicly available
network intrusion or social network data sets. Tasks include:
* implementing graph display software and interface;
* developing project specific visualization algorithms;
* integrating graph pattern matching and other graph data mining systems
into the visualization algorithms.
Start Date and Funding
The expected start date is 1 October 2018.
The scholarship award will cover a maintenance grant plus tuition fees at the
home/EU rate. The scholarship award is available to UK, EU, and overseas
students. However, note that the type of tuition fees covered by the
scholarship is only the fees at the home/EU rate, so overseas students would
need to have another source of funding to cover the difference between the
fees at the home/EU and the overseas rate.
In the 2017-18 academic year, the maintenance grant was ￡14,553 and fees at
the home/EU rate were ￡4,179 making a total of ￡18,732. The maintenance
grant and fees are reviewed annually.
Scholarships are normally awarded annually for three years (36 months) for
a full-time PhD student, subject to satisfactory progression through each
year of study. They are awarded on a competitive basis and interview
performance will be taken into account.
Support for research students includes:
* regular supervision meetings;
* a research training programme;
* computer equipment;
* a desk in an office;
* funds for conference travel.
How to Apply
Deadline: 15 June 2018.
Applications should be made through the: University of Kent online admissions
form with the PhD Project text, given above, pasted into the
"Reasons for study" section.
We will need to receive from you:
* Certificates and transcripts (with course marks/grades) of all
university degree studies;
* Research proposal on a selected topic including a mini literature review,
a proposed methodology, a work plan, and a bibliography;
* Properly formatted CV, including your full list of publications (if any);
and
* The names and email addresses of two academic referees.

who has over 100 publications listed on his google scholar page and
has successfully graduated 10 research students, with no drop-outs or
failures in the period. For technical queries about the project,
