Competition Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)
About the Project
FPC@DCU – Ireland’s first Fraunhofer Project Centre, develops microfluidic systems which are forecast to leverage decisive technological breakthroughs in personalised medicine and the life sciences. Typical applications of these next-generation “Lab-on-a-Chip” devices are biomedical point-of-care and global diagnostics, tools for life-science research and biopharma as well as monitoring the environment, infrastructure, industrial processes and agrifood.
Based on its leading know-how in high-performance centrifugal microfluidic technologies, FPC@DCU aims to drive larger-scale integration towards sample-to-answer automation of complex, bioanalytical multi-parameter tests at the point-of-use. In its a strong partnership with the globally renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Production Technology (IPT) in Germany, FPC@DCU seeks marry technical reliability with economic manufacture - typically by advanced injection moulding techniques.
The PhD project will support FPC@DCU’s Virtual Prototyping strategy by simulation of geometrical tolerances arising from manufacturing processes such injection moulding, and their impact on microfluidic functionality.
Funding Notes
The Irish Research Council (IRC) is delighted to announce that it has opened its call for the 2019 Government of Ireland Postgraduate Scholarship Programme.
In the first instance, applicants are advised to consult the 2019 Terms and Conditions and Guide for Applicants. Applicants seeking further clarification are then recommended to contact the research office in their respective higher education institution. If unable to provide clarity, the research office should send questions to [Email Address Removed] for answer through the frequently asked questions (FAQ) process.
