To support the rapid advance of protective equipment such as technical clothing, there is a need for improving the understanding of how these devices fit a range of individuals and protect them, across a wide range of user variability in body sizes and shapes, across dimensions including gender and ethnicity. Read more
This research project offers an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in the intersection of biomedical engineering and advanced manufacturing techniques, particularly in the realm of personalized healthcare. Read more
Recent work by our teams and others has found that commercially available direct to consumer bone conduction hearing devices (developed for the sports market) can effectively treat conductive hearing loss in children with middle ear disease (otitis media). Read more
Artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated various aspects of modern life, significantly influencing the healthcare sector. Fuelled by this momentum, remote patient monitoring facilitated by mobile sensing technology is on the way to changing how patients are monitored and treated. Read more
Project Description. The Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics (CAP) has several vacancies for exciting, varied and challenging applied R and D studentships in photonics, lasers and optical systems. Read more
Realization of electrically pumped lighting and lasing with colloidal quantum dots will have a revolutionary impact on many disciplines including display, photonics, optical communication, chemical sensing, and medical diagnostics. Read more
These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more
Are you interested in applying physics to situations that could benefit medical diagnosis? Terahertz (1012 Hz, THz) pulsed imaging is a new technique with high resolution (about 20 μm) and has only emerged recently as a potential new clinical tool for medical imaging. Read more
This project will explore the use of Audio Augmented Reality in hospitals. Out of necessity most devices in a hospital make a sound, whether intentionally or not. Read more
This highly interdisciplinary project combines tissue engineering, microbiology, 3D Printing and silver-based antimicrobial technology in order to reduce the chances of infection following a patient undergoing a percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). Read more
Fundamental light-sensitive and light-driven processes occurring on the nanoscale govern performance of materials and devices used in many cutting-edge applications from quantum technologies to healthcare. Read more
