Developing a technical framework for testing printed solar technology
Help shape the future of solar energy. This iPhD project will develop a new technical framework for testing printed solar technologies—an emerging class of ultra-lightweight, flexible photovoltaics. Current international standards were designed for traditional, rigid panels and don't adequately address the unique characteristics of printed solar. Your research will fill this gap, leading to new testing methods that could accelerate the commercial adoption of printed solar and enable its use on structures that can’t support conventional panels. This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the next generation of clean energy technologies with real-world impact.
Applying imaging methods and data analytics to explore the listening brain
This Project aims to understand brain circuits and processes supporting communication in individuals with hearing problems, including those who use devices such as hearing aids and cochlear implants. The potential benefits are that individualised strategies based on real-time brain states estimate algorithms to empower listening and support effective communication. The Project will use brain-imaging techniques‚ including those compatible with listening technologies, including electroencephalogram (EEG), to explore the listening brain. The Project will explore brain changes that arise from hearing loss, how changes in brain function – within and beyond the auditory brain – arise to support listening when hearing is impaired, and how these findings can be used as a part of devices such as cochlear implants that engage the rest of the brain to support an individual's listening.
Synthetic CT via Generative AI for MR-guided Radiotherapy Planning in the Abdomen and Lungs
This Project will leverage artificial intelligence to develop and validate synthetic computed tomography (CT) from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the abdominal and lung regions. The expected outcomes are an AI-based synthetic CT model, thorough technical and clinical validation and potential patent/licensing opportunities. This may reduce unnecessary ionising radiation of CT in patients and improve treatment efficiency during radiotherapy planning.
