underwater PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
We have 19 underwater PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships
Sonars for precise underwater autonomous vehicle (AUV) navigation.
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
There is a great interest in underwater autonomous vehicles (AUVs) and currently many companies develop AUVs for multiple applications. Read more
High-frequency underwater acoustic communication for image transmission.
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Communication using acoustic waves is the main underwater communication technology, since electro-magnetic waves quickly attenuate underwater. Read more
High data rate adaptive underwater acoustic networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
The ocean plays a key role in supporting all living organisms on our planet, yet the vast majority of the ocean remains unmapped and unobserved. Read more
Full-duplex underwater acoustic systems
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Acoustic signal transmission is the only feasible technology for long-range (>10-100m) underwater communication, navigation and sonar systems. Read more
Machine learning in underwater acoustic communication modems
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Machine learning is an approach that is useful when a practical optimisation problem is difficult to describe precisely. This approach has found multiple applications. Read more
Underwater single-photon depth imaging
This PhD project aims to investigate novel single-photon detector arrays for underwater single-photon depth imaging. The successful candidate will investigate different single-photon technologies to obtain three-dimensional images in several underwater environments. Read more
Intelligent Medium Access Control for Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Most research in underwater acoustic communication deals with the physical layer, with primitive and inflexible multiple access, despite the medium access control layer playing a crucial role in providing efficient communication. Read more
Exploitation of Full-Duplex Capability in Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks at the Medium Access Control Layer
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Full-duplex has the potential to double the capacity of point-to-point communication links, but these benefits can only be fully realised in communication networks through development of a suitable medium access control layer. Read more
Realistic Underwater Acoustic Propagation Model for Medium Access Control Protocol Evaluation
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Successful prediction of the performance of medium access control protocols is dependent on a realistic model of the underlying propagation channel. Read more
Application of Satellite Medium Access Control Principles to Underwater Acoustic Communication Networks
Research Group:
Communication Technologies
Acoustic waves are widely accepted as the most suitable means of communicating underwater, since radio waves suffer from severe attenuation through water. Read more
Fish and fisheries ecology of culturally important ‘Saltwater’ resources in the Kimberley region of Western Australia – PhD top-up scholarships (2 x positions)
Location. Murdoch University’s School of Environmental and Conservation Sciences and Harry Butler Institute’s Centre for Sustainable Aquatic Ecosystems, South Street campus, Perth, Western Australia. Read more
Transporting microplastic-laden bubbles through vortices (TRAP)
Supervisory Team: Dr. Swathi Krishna and Dr. Ivo Peters. Project description. Read more
Flexible Electrochemical Multi sensors For online Water Quality Monitoring
Solid-state electrochemical sensor technologies with IoT systems have significant importance in many fields such as medical, biological, agricultural, and environmental pollution monitoring systems. Read more
Eco-Creative Nature-Inspired Renewable Energy Extraction
Natural mechanical power from steady water flows in oceans and rivers can provide an alternative and abundant source of cheap and clean energy, in addition to the renewable energy from winds, waves and sun. Read more
Application of digital holography for marine science
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
