1. Fully Funded PhD Position in lyase/Hydrogen Sulfide pathway in Cardiomyopathy
Summary of PhD Program:
Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading cause of mortalities worldwide. There are approximately 4 million deaths per year due to heart diseases in Europe, accounting for nearly 50% of all deaths in Europe. Despite the advancements in medical technology, the morbidity and mortality rate of heart failure remains high. Compared to the 1990s, death due to heart failure increased by 54% in 2016, posing a significant global health problem.
There are several types of cardiomyopathies, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) and arrhythmogenic right ventricle cardiomyopathy (ARVC), peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) and Takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy, with DCM and HCM being the more general forms of the disease. Compare to DCM, a subset HCM patients who progress into dilated phase of HCM (D-HCM), have higher mortality risk than those with DCM. However, the underlying pathogenic mechanisms are not fully understood.
Application Deadline: 15 October 2023
2. Fully Funded PhD Position in Virtual Companions in e-Health using mobile augmented reality and Game Technology
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a doctoral researcher to carry out research in the area of e-Health and AI. The position focuses on development and implementation of a virtual companion using mobile augmented reality. Gamification will be used to increase user engagement and motivation to support man-machine communication. The opportunity to pursue a PhD in research is available and supported with a domestic scholarship.

3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Unlocking sleep patterns with advanced data-driven models
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will derive markers for sleep patterns and develop new data-driven models for investigation and classification of sleep patterns in healthy individuals and individuals with insomnia from physiological and physical activity time series data. It will advance the means for continuous monitoring of symptoms of fragmented sleep in the home environment.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
4. Fully Funded PhD Position in Synthetic data generation for medical image applications
Summary of PhD Program:
To mitigate the effects of data availability/accessibility constraint on medical imaging and AI-health research, this doctoral research will examine the alternative approach of synthesising medical imaging data in specific modalities (e.g. US, MRI, PET etc.) based on a number of carefully curated visual and pathological criteria that make the generated images almost identical, both visually and qualitatively, to real images produced by standard medical imaging sensors. This doctoral research will develop a suite of image processing tools and techniques that will automate the generation of medical images in specific modalities with a particular focus on modelling the visual cues of most commonly known/widespread respiratory conditions e.g. lung cancer, COPD, pneumonia and CV-19.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Real 3D object teleportation for immersive XR scene rendering
Summary of PhD Program:
Teleportation anchors embed objects and/or users into a pre-determined position within a specific XR environment. These objects could be either synthetic or real, or a combination thereof and help populate the created XR environment in such a way that makes it appear natural and fully immersive with full sensorial capabilities. This project will examine the multi-sensory teleportation capabilities in XR scenes and develop a suite of techniques and tools aimed at creating, registering and rendering 3D objects (including holograms) in XR environments and will research the interaction of humans with those teleported objects using multimodal interfaces with audio-visual and haptic capabilities.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
6. Fully Funded PhD Position in Knowledge-based machine learning for precision healthcare
Summary of PhD Program:
This project aims to develop a knowledge-based machine learning model by integrating physiological, or biological, behavioural-driven context, or environmental factors with machine learning. It will have the potential to analyse normal (healthy) patterns and detect deviations from such patterns. The model will be able to improve the accuracy and effectiveness of healthcare applications and enhance the patient-centred approach in healthcare.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
7. Fully Funded PhD Position in High accuracy digital twins for telemedicine applications
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will explore the challenges of digital twin research within the healthcare context and develop a number of solutions aiming at generating an identical visual representation of human organs (e.g. heart, lungs etc.) with a full capture of their physiological features and high-accuracy operation. The digital twin will be supported by a constant and periodic capture of medical data about the real twin, hence enabling data analytics that will endorse the early stage diagnosis of any pathological defect and predict/prevent the future occurrence of any serious medical condition. Research will focus on the modelling and simulation aspects that consist of both the image processing part and ML-powered data analytics part of the project.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Gamification models and frameworks using VR, AR, and psycho-physiological feedback
Summary of PhD Program:
Are you interested in conducting research in the field of gamification, Virtual/Augmented/Mixed Reality simulations, computer games, digital customer experience, and Human-Computer Interaction? We are looking for a doctoral researcher to carry out research in the area of gamification. The position focuses on development and implementation of gamification models and frameworks to improve user interfaces, increase user engagement and motivation and support local businesses. The opportunity to pursue a PhD in research is available and supported with a domestic scholarship.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
9. Fully Funded PhD Position in Digital twin for investigating diabetes
Summary of PhD Program:
This project will address a significant research gap in modelling and understanding the process of glucose production and disposal in healthy, pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals. It will develop a data-driven model for simulating glucose and insulin production in humans. The model will be used to build a digital twin simulating the glucose insulin dynamics, mimicking the physiological functions in the human body. The digital twin will have the potential to detect early warning signals for onset of pre-diabetes or type II diabetes.
Application Deadline: 31 October 2023
10. Fully Funded PhD Position in A Mixed Reality System for Emergency Management to improve Situational Awareness
Summary of PhD Program:
We are looking for a doctoral researcher to carry out research in the area of emergency management and disaster recovery. The position focuses on development of digital twins to simulate cases of flood, fire, earthquake, tsunami, terror and war to demonstrate the impact of climate change in the next decade and also to use it for training first responders such as Ambulance, Fire & rescue, and Police forces for emergency management. The doctoral researcher is expected to develop a range of scenarios to measure and optimise human performance in mixed reality simulations using gamification. The opportunity to pursue a PhD in research is available and supported with a domestic scholarship.
