The student will work in the exciting and fast-moving field of computational imaging with an emphasise on the development of novel optical techniques combined with algorithmic techniques for calculation of images. Particularly interesting aspects include wavefront coding, multi-aperture imaging, coded aperture imaging and compressive imaging. Applications of these techniques are wide ranging, including medical and biological imaging, microscopy, surveillance and remote sensing. The student will have a wide remit to develop multiple novel concepts in the field of computational image and apply them to some challenging problems in microscopy, conventional imaging and biomedical imaging. The student will work alongside related projects in industry-sponsored computational imaging, biomedical imaging, computational spectral imaging and retinal imaging and will have the opportunity to contribute to these projects also.

The position will suit somebody with a good first degree in a Physics, a related physical science or Engineering who enjoys working with computational techniques. An enthusiasm for innovation and speculative thinking is particularly encouraged.

The position is available for an early or October start and is one of several research opportunities in this group advertised elsewhere in FindaPhD

Funding Notes:

Funding is available for 3.5 years for UK or EU nationals. All fees are paid together with EPSRC-level tax-free stipend of £13,590 p.a.
