ARC Future Fellowship Domestic PhD Scholarship in Robust Autonomy

The research focuses on leveraging neurosymbolic paradigms and model-based testing to enable deterministic testing of AI systems. It explores DSL-guided program induction to replace stochastic AI decision-making with deterministic symbolic logic, making these systems more testable. Additionally, the research transitions from probabilistic testing to testing that provides formal assurance, aiming to revive model-based testing by identifying violation cases against formal system properties.

The scholarship includes collaboration with industry partners, offering opportunities for corporate internships to deploy and evaluate theoretical frameworks in practical, real-world scenarios. Students are required to maintain open-source repositories to host source code and experimental results, promoting transparency and enabling industry adoption. In addition to these outputs, the research targets high-quality publications in prestigious venues such as CAV, ICSE, FSE, UbiComp, and PerCom, under the guidance of supervisors recognised as leaders in their fields.

This scholarship provides a unique opportunity to develop innovative, open solutions to pressing real-world challenges in AI-enabled systems.
