About the Project
This research will take place in the Sheffield Biomedical Robotics Laboratory. More details about the projects that run in our laboratory and publications are at the link: https://sites.google.com/site/danadamian/research
The project is interdisciplinary with a core focus on the robotics field. This gives you the opportunity to learn and develop technologies from diverse fields, such as engineering, bioengineering, biology and medicine.
Funding Notes
We require applicants to have either an undergraduate honours degree (1st) or MSc (Merit or Distinction) in a relevant engineering subject from a reputable institution. For this project you will need to be skilled in design, control or system integration. If you have a degree in Medical Sciences and are interested in experimental research and system integration, you are also encouraged to apply.
Applicants can apply for a Scholarship from the University of Sheffield but should note that competition for these Scholarships is highly competitive: View Website
