| Project description | Project Are you curious about how large language models “think” and how they reflect human personalities? In this project, you’ll explore how AI text reveals psychological traits, and build systems that infer and steer personality in AI models. You’ll work with real prompt data, apply NLP and machine-learning techniques, and contribute to new approaches in human-AI alignment. Requirements Interest in multidisciplinary work. Very good programming skills. Above all I am looking for students who have a positive attitude and are willing to learn and explore. About me I am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science. I also lead the Network Analysis and Social Influence Modelling (NASIM) Lab at the School of Physics, Maths and Computing, where we work at the intersection of computer science and social psychology. The lab currently includes 3 PhD students, a research associate, and several honours and MPE students, creating a vibrant, collaborative, and supportive environment. Our lab has access to state-of-the-art GPUs and cloud platforms, so computational power is never a problem. Students work closely together, share ideas, and have fun tackling ambitious research problems that make a real-world impact. |

| Description | The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is a program of independent, supervised research that is assessed solely on the basis of a thesis, sometimes including a creative work component, that is examined externally. The work presented for a PhD must be a substantial and original contribution to scholarship, demonstrating mastery of the subject of interest as well as an advance in that field of knowledge.
