Decision Automation for Orchards and Vineyards
Prof A Werner
Applications accepted all year round
Decision Automation for Orchards and Vineyards is an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary project on sensing and understanding of high-value fruit canopies in commercial orchards or vineyards to learn and train AI-tools of manual activities from experienced staff with the intention to support decision making of staff and later robots.
Dynamics of fluid/liquid interface
Dr E Nowak, Dr G Willmott, Prof O Matar
Application Deadline:
12 April 2019
We are seeking a person with a passion for fluids/soft matter to undertake an experimental PhD. When two phases come into contact, the interface between them is rarely simple or simply black or white.
Organic electrosynthesis
Dr J Sperry
Applications accepted all year round
The field of chemical synthesis is under constant pressure to produce molecules in a timely, economical and sustainable fashion. In this project we will demonstrate that valuable heterocyclic molecules can be efficiently synthesized in an environmentally friendly manner by simply using electric current.
CFD of atmospheric re-entry
Dr J Cater, Dr N Rattenbury
Applications accepted all year round
The Faculties of Science and Engineering are jointly developing a space systems programme at The University of Auckland. This cross-disciplinary effort has brought together engineers and scientists interested in growing New Zealand’s expertise in space mission design, satellite construction and space science.
Computational modelling of laparoscopic surgery
Dr J Cater, Dr C Spence
Applications accepted all year round
Current laparoscopic surgery technology continues to present challenges that affect patient health and a surgeon’s ability to perform surgical procedures.
Developing Nanosatellite Synthetic Aperture Radar
Dr J Cater, Dr N Rattenbury
Applications accepted all year round
The Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Science are jointly developing a space systems programme at The University of Auckland.
PhD on nonlinear optics and laser physics in passive resonators
Dr M Erkintalo, Assoc Prof S. G. Murdoch
Application Deadline:
28 November 2019
A fully funded PhD studentship is available starting as soon as possible to work on nonlinear optics in passive resonators. The resonant enhancement of laser light launched into an optical cavity can be leveraged to increase the strength of nonlinear light-matter interactions.
