[交流] 英国爱丁堡Heriot-Watt大学生物力学与生物材料组PhD全奖

2014 James Watt PhD Scholarship
英国爱丁堡Heriot-Watt大学生物力学与生物材料组PhD全奖
*2014年2月28日申请截至*

课题：组织力学：多尺度结构与其力学功能在临床诊断中的应用
计算与实验相结合，可根据学生背景知识调整比例。
课题简单来说就是用力学与结构的分析方法来研究组织的微观结构于其生物功能性之间的关系。最后联系到组织在临床中的诊断与恢复。招收有力学/计算机或者材料背景的。

全奖(3年/免学费/每年免税1万英镑的奖学金)

如果有问题请跟贴询问，我尽可能回答。

具体内容如下：

Description:
There is ample evidence that structural and mechanical properties of human and animal tissue greatly depend on their microstructures although few models exist to account for the relationship between the structural features at multiple length scales and the tissue functionality. This project will develop tissue models at a range of length scales (from tissue to cellular/sub-cellular) using both experimental and computational approaches. It is expected that this project would address key scientific issues in understanding the relationship between tissue microarchitecture and its functionality and property, not only in healthy condition, but more importantly in its pathological condition where mechanical property of tissue is closely related to grade of disease thus can be adopted as a key index for clinical diagnostics.

Working closely with our EPSRC-funded project (EP/K036939/1(2013-2016): A Novel Diagnostic Tool: from Structural Health Monitoring to Tissue Quality Prediction), the successful candidate will work with a group of mathematicians, engineers and surgeons from universities and institutions in collaboration.

Value of the Studentship:
This is one of the James Watt Scholarships that were recently announced by school of EPS at HWU. It fully covers tuition fees and also provides a tax-free stipend for 36 months. For home/ EU students: £15k annual stipend plus fees. For international students: £10k annual stipend plus fees).

Entry Requirements:
The ideal candidate should be highly-motivated and have good written and oral communication skills as well as genuine interest in research and publishing your work. In addition, hands-on experimental skills in mechanical/biomedical engineering or prior experience in computer programming/finite element analysis are a plus. A first/master degree in mechanical engineering/mechanics, material science, biomedical engineering or other related fields is desired.

Closing date:
All applications must be received by 28th February 2014. The successful candidate will ideally start in September 2014.

Application procedure:
Informal enquiries about project details can also be made to Dr Yuhang Chen (y.chen AT hw.ac.uk).

* Formal application should be made through Heriot-Watt on-line application system by 28th/Feb/2014. (https://myhwu.hw.ac.uk/HWSAS8/bwskalog.P_DispLoginNon)

When applying through the Heriot-Watt on-line system please ensure you provide the following information:
(a) in “Planned Programme of Study” (Checklist Item 6):
"Planned Programme of Study" presents you with a drop-down menu. Choose Mechanical Eng PhD. See subheadings "Leading to a PhD in ...." in the full list of projects. Supervisor provides a free text box. Enter supervisor’s name (Dr. Yuhang Chen)
(b) in “Background Information” (Checklist Item 9):
Proposed Area of Research provides a free text box. Enter Title and Reference number (JWS2014/23). This information will greatly assist us in tracking your application.
