Probably Java/Clojure

Erlang/Elixir is also a possibility.

But I don't think either Java or Erlang were based on a PhD project?

(Edit: I just looked it up, and Joe Armstrong's PhD was 2003)

Java is also based on a doctorate research on fault tolerance?

No, God, no. Java isn’t based on academic research.
