Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
This project will aim to design a type of hydrogel with broad applications in soft robotic, medical devices such as heart valves, vasculature, and development of in vitro model that mimic physical properties of digestion system including colon, intestine and stomach.
This scholarship has been established by the Bioengineering Laboratory in the School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the University of Sydney and aims to support a PhD student undertaking research in designing a tough and versatile hydrogel with self-healing properties.
The scholarship is partially funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) grant and partially funded by the Faculty of Engineering.
Project eligibility:
• Applicants must an honours degree (first class or second class upper) or equivalent in polymer engineering and chemistry for or a relevant discipline.
• be willing to conduct research into designing a tough and versatile hydrogel with self-healing properties
• have an unconditional offer of admission to study a full-time PhD at the Faculty of Engineering
• apply for an RTP scholarship.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with high levels of competency in both written and spoken English
