Hiring PhD students
Dr Thanh Nho Do’s research team from Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering, UNSW, Sydney (https://www.engineering.unsw.edu ... staff/thanh-nho-do) is looking for PhD students, starting in Term 3 (Sept/2019) or Term 1 (Feb, 2020). His team projects include:
Project 1: Flexible/Surgical Robots
This project will focus on the mechanical design, fabrication, modelling, sensing, and control for novel generation miniature flexible robotic arms/catheters with advanced actuation and sensing technologies for flexible endoscopic systems. The robotic systems will also integrate real-time haptic displays to be used in gastrointestinal cancer treatments, heart, and other related diseases. Clinical trials on living animals and human will be carried out at the end of the project. The successful candidates are expected to have strong skills and experiences on mechanical design, robotic and flexible mechatronic systems, control, and good hands-on with mechanical fabrication and prototypes, smart materials. This project will collaborate with leading researchers, surgeons, and experts from UNSW, local hospitals, partners in Australia and USA. Successful candidates should be highly self-motivated to pursue independent and interdisciplinary research.
Project 2: Soft wearable devices and robotic applications
This project will develop strong, multifunctional, and shape programmable soft actuators with embedded sensors for wearable devices and robotic systems that can be implemented in healthcare, VR/AR, rehabilitation, surgery, haptics, entertainments, military, and industrial sectors. The successful candidates are expected to have experiences in smart materials, robotic design, wearable and embedded electronics, and mechatronic systems with good hands-on skills in mechanical and soft material fabrications. This project will collaborate with researchers and experts from both Australia and USA. Successful candidates should be highly self-motivated to pursue independent and interdisciplinary research.
