5. PhD Position in Flight control and maneuverability of Dipteran insects
Summary of PhD Positions:
Are you the enthusiastic, highly motivated and skilled potential PhD candidate who would like to study the flight control and maneuverability of Dipteran insects? And would you like to apply your resulting knowledge to the development of bio-inspired robotic flyers? Then you might be the PhD-candidate we are looking for! Dipteran insects are highly maneuverable and sophisticated flyers, and include the annoying house fly, the elegant hover fly, and the deadly malaria mosquito. They are unique in having halteres, which are small sensory organs that operate as biological gyroscopes, and that are the key to their extreme flight maneuverability.
